I love these straps!! It looks so good with your red bag, too! They are such good quality, I think. I already have the black and yellow warning webbing strap and just tonight purchased another, the black one with the max weight warning label on it, along with the black and yellow warning keychain. And a tote bag and tricolored metal chain strap, too haha.
I'm really getting to Marc Jacobs, where before this brand had not even been on my radar. I have tried some and not liked, however; am going to return the ripstop mini tote I ordered in olive. It's cute, but I couldn't see myself carrying it. Plus it has no top closure so if it tipped over all my things will go tumbling out.
I love the straps too! I wanted an embossed leather one, but they don't have enough colors with silver hardware.
It's funny, I went through a phase where I loved MbyMJ, then was a Coach/Minkoff girl for a while, and now I am back to MJ. Most of my bags are by him, lol. He's hit a good stride.

Same. I have a variety of bags and love them all dearly, but my MJ and MBMJ bags just hold an entire section of my heart to themselves. The designs are more practical and functional (whilst still being bold) and I honestly think the leather is amongst the best in the market. The closest I've found in terms of quality is Hammitt and some of the Coach bags, but there's nothing like MJ.
I love that this thread is moving more nowadays and everyone's enjoying their beauties...although it's tempting me to buy again and I'm currently on ban island!
Got some new goodies!!
Warning webbing key chain and UPC leather hangtag. These are bigger than I thought they would be, but I still really like them.
Max Weight webbing strap. I love the design of this one, but held off because it has gold hardware, which I'm generally not a fan of. But I figured every bag I own either has silver or gunmetal, I should get one with gold just to mix it up. So I will eventually use this one once I get a bag with gold hardware!
The mini tag tote, or Tag Tote 21. Love it!! I had originally been looking into Balenciaga and liked their xxs tote, but I didn't want to spend that much money. Found this one to look very similar, has a double magnetic closure, and a ring on the outside to hang charms or my keys on. Think I would prefer this one to the Balenciaga.
Inside 21 tote; two eyeglass slim cases and Coach card case. I usually carry these things, plus my iPod Classic, and Kindle if my current bag fits it.
Tag tote worn crossbody! Had to zoom in some, so it's a bit grainy.

Nice mini-haul! Each piece is SO cool! That Max Weight strap in particular is just so, so nice.
Enjoy your beauties!
Also, you made the right call on the tote. I've seen both IRL and I really think the MJ one is nicer than the Bal (which has been over-hyped by influencers and is overpriced, imo).

May I ask, is this strap printed leather or webbing? I was looking in-store today but couldn't find any of these straps and I really want to see this one.
PSA, if anyone is interested in the mixed metals strap, I saw it today and it is really nice IRL.
I didn't get it because I think it would go better with more classic bags and most of my bag collection is small crossbodies which would look better with one of the webbing straps.
I may go back again and try it with my Gotham crossbody to see how it looks... the fact that each segment of the strap is a different chain link is super cool.
I'll try to remember to grab a pic for anyone who wants to see it.
Also, it is a tad heavy for me and I think that it may dig into the shoulders a bit, but that's all relative. If you're used to those chain straps, then it may feel light as a feather.

I ordered that mixed chain strap, though returned it. I love the way it looks but it was too short for me to use as crossbody. I'm 5'10 and like my bags to sit at or below my hip so it didn't work out, unfortunately. It was fantastic quality tho!
You're right about the length, It's only 200cm long. At my height (5'4) it's around 10cm too short for me, although it still hits just at my hip and I can deal with the marginal difference. But it would definitely be too short for crossbody use on someone who is taller, like you.

Thank you!! I most certainly will! I wore my new tote out yesterday and just loved the way it felt. I'm very picky about my crossbodies, I like them to hang at a certain length and a certain way and the tote does just fine. I am glad it has magnetic closures, as that was one thing about the Bal bag I did not like. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Mine is webbing. I love the mixed metal strap; I’m trying to be good because I should stop shopping for myself and start shopping for others for the holidays instead!
