i don't believe this is authentic. if it is it's a jacobs by marc jacobs for marc jacobs bag, which are typically just called 'pvc tote' or whatnot. i've never seen that particular zipper, though, but i'm admittedly not super familiar with that line

Thanks for your reply, I'm gutted! I bought it from TKMaxx and it was listed as "leather", it hasn't arrived yet, I'm curious to see if it really is PVC or leather, and what the inside looks like.

I've posted this also on the Authenticate thread, I think I'll also post photos of the inside of the bag as soon as it arrives to help authenticate.

How can TKMaxx sell fake bags?! :(

Hi guys thanks so much for all your help. I really love this site!

I have another bag I need help with, I can't find this style anywhere.
If anyone can give me info, year, style, name, original price range, estimated value now, that would be awesome!
Thanks again!

Hi everyone, can someone please identify this Marc Jacobs bag? I purchased it many years ago at Neiman Marcus but I don't remember the name of the bag or the year I purchased it.

As you can see from the photos my mom's dog chewed and destroyed one of the handles. I've been quoted $200 to replace both handles (the bag is otherwise in great condition). Does it make financial sense to repair the bag to sell it? Please advise. Thank you!

this is the Elleen from FW 2002, I believe it was

they don't go for much at all so it wouldn't make sense to repair it, unless you like the bag yourself and don't want to wait for another one to pop up

I have taken better pics. Maybe that will help

looks like an early version of the sporty zippered tote from around 2002/2003. no clue about original retail but i would guess $400-$500. as far as current value, well sadly you're lucky if a vintage bag goes for anywhere near $100 on ebay these days

those photos are awful but it looks like a Francesca to me. older ones with that lining had the shoulder pad


the authentication thread is here :smile1: but it looks fine. 'made in' tag would confirm.


it's a tassel satchel bag that's missing the tassels and the front marc jacobs button. your best bet to get anything repaired on it is a local shop, MJ repairs doesn't do anything with older styles

Re: the tassel satchel bag, can you provide me with the year/season and original price point? Trying to find other ones like it is impossible. There's no interior tag so that makes me guess early 2000s but I could be wrong. Thanks!

i think 2003? pretty sure it's part of the pom pom line and that the colour is sunset pink. as far as retail, the isabelli is similar and that link says $998, although that seems high to me for an early bag so it might be an error.

sorry that i couldn't find any exact info! maybe someone else could chime in who was into MJ back then
