The return of the Stella?

[youngprof]

I was looking at the Marc Jacobs bags on the Saks website, when what do I see?

Stella, is that you?

Here's the information from the site. I have no idea what "Moate lining" means.

Not loving it. Give me classic Stella any day.

I agree Cindi. I think we are Stella-holics.

 

[Cindi]

Definitely. I do love the color of the new Stella. I just wish it wasn't in the so (un) cool leather.

[Dawn]

ugh, seriously. Un-cool leather! LOL! love it!

is it just me, or does it look a lil wider and less deep than the stella??

 

[rachieface]

The new Stella really reminds me of a bag I would haul to the beach. It's HUGE and kind of a weird proportion. I was at Neiman's today trying to like it and the combination of the proportion and the So Cool leather just made me wish the old one's were still around =/

Are you there, Marc? It's me, Ashley.
AND I WANT THE REAL STELLA BACK!!!!!!

not feeling these at all...why do you need a second shoulder strap for a bag that already fits on the shoulder?

I could be wrong but I think that is a cross-body strap like he used for the popular E/W Mercer tote (Spring 2008).

I really love it in taupe:

 

[Cindi]

The colors are gorgeous, I even like the style, it is the leather that I don't care for. Not up to MJ standards IMO. It looks cheap in person and is very thin. Sorry to anyone that loves the So Cool leather, just not for me.

i love the plum color, but not crazy about the new style stella. i like the classic stella so much more same thing with the big blake...it just looks weird..

^ i agree. doesn't it look wrinkly? they shouldn't have done those slit pockets in the front.
