Rediscovering Marc Jacobs vintage

[handtasche]

Thanks @pjfirst. It does look great. I still have no clue about the names of the styles. And yes, perfect trending as an east west style. 🙃 I had two bags from
Marc Jacob’s 20 years ago and now I wish, I did not sell them 1,5 decades again 😵‍💫😆. Now I start over collecting again. At this current price point, I have to look out for the best condition of bags available and give them a good new home. Today a small green Marc Jacob’s cross body bag arrived in the mail. This is nothing exceptional but a good made in Italy bag for everyday- even for rainy days. . Still wait for the other one I mentioned earlier to get shipped. This bag is more of a crazier side. (Unfortunately no frogs so far)
✌🏻

I'm so happy people are talking about vintage Marc! I've been collecting his 2000s bags and have come across some insane showstoppers, I've included a few below. From left to right: Pre-fall 2009 safety pin Stam, FW06 python Capra, and a fur/python bag that I'm unable to identify. If anyone knows anything about the burgundy one, let me know! I haven't been able to find much information other than it retailed for $2,950 when it was sold.

Love it. Giving new homes to the MJ bags that have lived a good, long life. Definitely share your finds when they arrive, crazy or simple!

The bag in my avatar is MJ - a soft lemon yellow quilted leather, with a bit of sparkle on it.
I want to say I bought it retail somewhere in the 2010s?
It is very lightweight, holds phone, keys, lipstick and is my go to “special occasion” bag.

I will think about taking pics, I have a Little Lou, Blake, Aylona, Multipocket, Christy, Eggplant tote and various SLGs.

Okay, yes - I was (am) a crazy MJ fan back in the day 😆

Wait it’s my favorite Marc Jacobs collector from the other app! The safety pin stammm 😍
It’s so hard to find a name for these older bags.
This brown version at least has a tag but trying to search for anything else seems to go nowhere.

We need to take this discussion private because some of us like to collect awesome bags without the prices going up (giving the side eye to all the new vintage Balenciaga collectors...)

Hahaha hello!!

Some of them don't seem to have style names which makes researching them difficult, but I did find one other in a cobalt blue that sold on 1stDibs!

I also added a picture of my latest find, it's another mystery bag with a leather lining that appears to be from the mid 2000s. It's blue/black raffia with black patent leather. I'm obsessed with the off-center pocket! I got her for $80 on TRR as she's a bit of a wounded bird, the screws that should attach the metal frame at the top aren't screwed in, but it came with some in a little ziploc inside the bag. Now my husband has to fix it, haha!

I also have a few others that I haven't shared on Reddit yet if people are interested in seeing them!

Wow - I love that bag - I actually haven’t seen that model before !

I fprgot that I also have a little stam (maroon goat leather) and brown quilted bag zip top purse with gold hardware.

I love the little Stams, I want to find one! I haven't been able to find anything on the raffia bag, it's even more elusive than the fur one! I'm wondering if it was from a resort collection, images from resort are harder to find because they aren't on Vogue Runway

Wow. That bag is a must have. What a lovely bag!! Newer saw this model before. ❤️

This is my newest acquisition. I love the green color. It’s „made in Italy“ - but it’s not a crazy purse ( no frogs). It’s was waaaaay under 100 dollars and the color was just too pretty to leave it behind and fits well to little stam. Friends 😅❤️

I also have a recent green (this one is a dark green) hobo/shoulder bag that was priced really well. The leather had some rubbing off in some little areas so I think the seller was just ready to get rid of it. I don’t see a lot of the older bags with this button style but I love these weird little round buttons.

Oh the off center front pouch is so unique. It reminds of a built-in version of how runway bags have recently been styled with a smaller bag added on.

The Case for Carrying Two Bags

From the runways to the streets, the two bag trend proves to be a stylish—and practical!—choice.
