Name That MJ Bag!

I'm looking to add a Stella bag to my collection for nostalgia's sake (when I was in college in 2003 I remember a very chic girl having one and I couldn't BELIEVE how expensive it was at the time). Prices have really come down, and I saw this one on The Real Real. They describe it as "dark mauve" which I wouldn't be interested in, but my eyes see beige. I know they're not always accurate - what color do you see? Did the Stella even come in a "dark mauve" color?

Thank you!

I continued my search and found this one on eBay for a little more money. More expensive, but the color seems like a good neutral. Thanks again for chiming in!

Hi I’m new to this forum...and I know it’s technically not a handbag but I found this MJ backpack today and I can’t for the life of me find the exact one online. Some help would be very appreciated. It’s not nylon like the current line of MJ biker backpacks. It’s more like a soft denim, with XL leather zipper pulls. I can’t even find a Biker Backpack with the same zipper pulls. I can provide a better picture if need be! Thanks!

I found this at the local goodwill, I can’t find any other identification other than the interior tag that reads “made in China/ 100% cow leather exclusive of trim”. I had no luck with the googler on the bag name or style. Thank you in advance for any help!

Well of course, just after I posted I found a picture! My apologies! I can't find how to delete this, so I guess it stays. Im new I have no idea what I'm doing. :biggrin:
 
Hello, I'm new to this and all forums and trying to do this on a Kindle, which is near impossible so please be patient with me. Just got this Marc Jacobs handbag at thrift store in a wealthy town. It's definitely MJ and not by MJ and is in great condition. Can anyone help me with the name of this unique and awesome Marc Jacobs handbag? I hope I posted this correctly.

I know I'm replying to myself, kinda weird. I feel like this could be a very rare vintage MJ bag and can't find one even remotely similar, so maybe quite rare. The inside suede is near spotless and the exterior leather is super high quality, just needs a cleaning but I know better than to try to myself. Any suggestions on cleaning would be welcome too. The knitting is in great shape but would look so nice after being cleaned. Thanks for your time and expertise.
