I agree, a tote bag that says the tote bag is not my style. Generally I just enjoy the older models.I haven't paid much attention to Marc Jacobs lately (used to be the love of my teenage years, though) but I've recently realized that The Tote Bag leather is divine! So thick and soft and grainy. The shape is lovely too. However I'm definitely not the type of person who'd rock a tote bag that says THE TOTE BAG much like I wouldn't rock a t-shirt that says THE T-SHIRT (I'm just a little constrained like that). Does he have anything similar but less loud? Damn I'd love the tote with just a shy little "Marc Jacobs"

agree, the older MJ Collection bags were the best
But I did get a newer MJ bag recently and I like it
I wonder if anyone from here got this one. It's a blondie isn't it? With the green leather boutique-exclusive lining. In "excellent no visible sign of wear" condition. *swoon*

I was very close to pulling the trigger.
This is very unique, in a good way. It is sold so someone bought it.
I miss the Marc Jacobs premier bags. The original ones can be purchased at very low prices now.
Yes it's sold and very quickly at that. It was newly listed when I saw it and a day later it's gone! I love it when that happens, no regrets. Means someone really love it, not even waiting for the first 20% off (which I may or may not have waited for....)
Indeed, I'm a lucky lucky beneficiary of the these amazing bags at low prices. Not that low

That's from year 2003. I have the Stella tote with same lining. The color in photo is faded brick which is so hot back then.

I agree with you completely!
The bag is really very nice, the quality is great, the leather is soft, the bag is comfortable. But...that giant letters - "the tote bag"-
unnecessarily.
However I still think I'll buy it if it's on sale
Other shades of pink, baby blue, cream or light grey all seem like they'd match up nicely. I'm sure whatever colour you choose will work well as it's such a casual, easy bag.
Is this really croc? Or croc-embossed?
This is the Marc Jacobs collection Venetia satchel. I'm pretty sure that it is croc embossed (calfskin), but hopefully you can get confirmation on that (either from other tpf members or through a search). HTH
Thanks. I know it's Venetia. The lack of online info of this model makes me think this model is very rare, in which case perhaps it's real croc (and what seems to be lizard on handles etc trim).This is the Marc Jacobs collection Venetia satchel.

Unfortunately, I don't remember if this was made in exotics. There were some genuine alligator bags from MJ collection back then, but he also produced embossed calfskin bags.
If possible, can you contact the seller of this and have them provide a picture of the inner label? It would be the only way to know for sure.
