I remember wanting this bag in maybe 2007 or 2008? There were others like it in different prints and corduroy. I finally found one in good condition on eBay a couple weeks ago and I want to know more about it... like, what was it called? When did it go on sale and what was the original price?







Any help is appreciated, thanks! :smile1:

Don't know if anyone has asked about this one, but what is the name of this one? Supposedly a vintage MJ?

I can't remember off the top of my head and my wifi is too limited to check, but I think both these styles are posted in the reference libraries in this sub-forum, probably in the vintage/discontinued threads

Thanks Faith Ann I will check that out. Those threads are always so daunting because half of them are ebay links/pictures that don't exist anymore so it's impossible to tell unless you google as well.


I wish we had like a spreadsheet with the name and picture of each bag so that this kind of thing doesn't happen.

Can't figure out what it is. I'm losing my mind.


I'm thinking it's a very early Marc Jacobs because I found another vintage one online that has a similar turnlock. https://www.etsy.com/listing/231881327/marc-jacobs-turnlock-bag-black-leather?ref=market (Sorry it wouldn't link)



She wrote that it's from the 80s, but she's not sure on any specifics for that bag. So I'm going to guess it's an 80s or 90s one. I kinda equate it to the elder "Polly" which if I'm not mistaken is from 1984?


Anyway, internet only goes back so far. Losing my mind.

Agreed. I'm almost obsessively organized and the reference library drives me nuts - I wish it could be edited and re-done

Heh, someone has confused you ;)

The first season was 2001/2002, which that bag looks to be around. Request clear photos of the nameplate, zipper pull engraving, and underside of the zipper head to confirm authenticity.

There are no MJ bags from the 90s or 80s. The 1984 collection was released in, what was it...2011? It's just the name of a line that has several different styles and doesn't have anything to do with this bag. It likely doesn't have an actual style name aside from something like 'black turnlock bag'

It´s the Marc by Marc Jacobs Core Canvas Faridah (Madras Red Multi), maybe? (Found a picture and name when I searched for another Faridah)

Hi ladies,

Im about to get this bag off the net. It's selling cheaply and I loved this colour so much!

But I do not know what model is this. Can someone kindly tell me what is this model?
Wanna find more modelling pics of this bag before I decide to buy :D

Thanks!

I have that bag! Its one of my all time favorites! I bought it at Saks in fall 2008 and I think it cost $550. Unfortunately I forgot what its called, but the SA who was helping me told me that it was exclusive to Saks. I never followed up on finding out whether or not it was exclusive but I quite literally have never seen another one until now so I don't doubt its exclusivity. I didn't even know it came in other colors.
