I need to see myself to Ban Island.
Are the Marc Jacobs "The tote bag" in leather size small suitable for carrying a laptop all the time? Or would the laptop eventually ruin the bag? Mine is fairly light 2.91 lbs. Dell XPS, 11.6" across... Does anyone use their totes (leather or cavas or jacquard) for lugging a laptop and if so how do you like it?
I'm looking at Stella bags and sellers are giving a strap drop length of 6.5 inches. that seems short for shoulder carrying. can anyone tell me if this is correct? and is stella comfortable for shoulder carry?
thank you
@Mimmy do you know?
I have never owned a Stella but it seems like the strap drop is about 6.5 inches to 8 inches depending on where you buckle it. I agree that this sounds short for shoulder carry but looking at the pictures it seems like unless you had a bulky coat on it would work. Unfortunately I couldn’t find one that anyone was selling being shoulder carried.
Hopefully, someone who has owned one can chime in.
I've been cleaning out my closets so new flooring can go in. It made me think of y'all. Hope everyone is doing ok.
thank you
I've seen posts here saying it could be shoulder carried and at least one pic
But 6.5 inches seems short.
The other thing is sellers often don't know what they have. They look up MJ bags and name everything Blake or Stella. So you have to get measurements, etc.
One seller had a Stella and she was calling it a Cammie or something like that
@Mimmy look at this one....a bit worn but very low price - and she sold another one almost identical for even lower

I'm almost tempted but I think for such a large bag, a dark color would be better for me. wouldn't appear as big

Very low price for sure. I would be a bit worried about the fading shown on the side and the condition of the interior. I wish that she would show the side of the zipper pull also.@Mimmy look at this one....a bit worn but very low price - and she sold another one almost identical for even lower

I think it has a lot of life left in it for $30 though. Are you good at cleaning up and conditioning bags?
Not sure what you're seeing with the zipper pull
I wouldn't really say I'm great at rehabbing....a bit of fading might not bother me but hard to tell how many more marks are on the inside
and, as I said, it's a big bag and in red it might look even bigger (but I guess it's plum?)
But she sold the other similar one for $14. now that is a steal
I asked for measurements to and she didn't respond. so many of the Posh sellers don't answer questions
I saw that the other one went for $14! That’s what made me wonder why she had 2 bags that are so similar. I am by no means an authenticator but I would feel better if the side of the zipper pull showed the engraved “Marc Jacobs”.
I bought the Marc Jacobs The Tote Bag in both leather and jacquard to see which one I would like more. I will be carrying my laptop around a lot and from testing it out it seems like over time the laptop would stretch out the leather one as it's so soft. My laptop is not THAT heavy but I think I can see it bulging/stretching/dragging out the bottom whereas the jacquard doesn't really matter as it's just some kind of sturdy material and not really stretching. It holds its structure more when I put the laptop on whereas I feel like over time the bottom on the leather one is going to stretch. When I wear the leather one cross body style I can see the bottom "bulging" out?
Can anyone confirm that the leather one is "too soft" to carry something heavy like a laptop all the time or is it just my imagination?

Hi, anyone here can help me to authenticate the Marc Jacobs Preppy Natasha Nylon Crossbody Bag which I brought online from third party? I am new here and the bag is my first luxury brand bag.
