MJ Chat Thread

Hi there! I just got a Marc Jacobs Stam and I need help to make sure its authentic. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Classic! I don't believe there is an "authenticate this" thread anymore so I'm not sure if it's allowed. You would need to post pics of the kisslock, the Marc Jacobs stamp inside top and tag inside the bottom at the very minimum.
 
Hello! I’m new here and I’m not sure if I’m in the right thread but I’ve been looking at the Authenticate this threads and they are all closed. May I ask for this bag to be authenticated please? Many thanks in advance

Hello! newbie here. I’m searching for a smaller type bucket and have come across this one. I can only find it on Poshmark so kind of skeptical about. Does anyone know when this bag came out?

It looks good. The only thing throwing me off is the textured lining and tags. Usually, the tags are white with black lettering and the fabric lining is a bit smoother. Since this is a later model Stam, the lining could have changed for that season. I am trying to figure out if this is Fall 11 or Spring/Summer 10. It looks like there are two different tags - one is FA 11 and the other looks like S10. Other than that, the leather, hardware, lettering all look good. There were some variations of linings/tags as the years passed. Even in between seasons they sometimes changed things up a bit which causes confusion.
 
I don’t know why but I Love the older style bags and MJ for 20 years ago… I’m looking at a vintage small multi pocket on the resale market. It has silver hardware which I know is an earlier style than the black one I own from the 2000’s with gold hardware but did the multi pocket ever have canvas lining? The one I’m looking at does and I’m wondering if it’s a knockoff.

Those very early multipockets had the striped fabric lining.

Hi Everyone! ❤️❤️❤️
Just curious, anyone know how to read MJ’s serial number? I was surprise to find one and then i checked all my MJ bags and all of them have it, didn’t know they do it(like LV). Checked online and couldn’t see any new info regarding it. TIA!

I am not an expert, just an MJ lover, but I seem to recall our previous authenticator referring to that as having information on the season it was made and the color but not a serial number specific to each bag.

The tag should refer to the Season/Year. For example, I just received a bag that had a label that read "FA08" - which refers to Fall 2008. The MJ tags were fairly consistent, but there were some bags that had tags that looked different than what was typically found in an MJ bag. What style of bag is that? Most of the tags were fabric and found in the very innermost corner of the inside pockets (usually), but there were variations depending on the style/year.
 
I found this from January and while it doesn't say items are being made specifically for outlets, it's probably as close to an admission as we'll get.

Sounds like merging the lines isn't working out too well.

I found this at the local consignment store.....I like that it has silver HW and this is a color I don't have.....wanted a hobo and this fits the bill, plus has the outside pocket which is quite large.
I guess it's from 2018 or earlier? and could be a made for outlet bag?

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" :giggle:
