Marc Jacobs F/W '09

NY Fashion Week is not quite over without Marc Jacob's collection. I'm sure you've been waiting for their Fall '09 collection for a while now.

Presenting to you the new Marc Jacobs Fall '09 collection.. A collection with many spillovers from the previous seasons. One of many is the spillover from the Sprouse for LV Spring/Summer '08 Day Glo collection. Neon-hued, together with its floral pattern, the new collection is said to reflect the good old days in New York where he used to spend his night outs in clubs.

The new Fall collection is made up of mostly shoulder bags and totes with the use of a mix and match of colors and designs to re-create what has been seen in the previous MJ collections. Chain-link shoulder straps are still a hit with the designers. So is the gold hardware spotted on plaques and most zippers.

Take a look..
















































You'll find the collection contains a lot of materials - from leather to patent to satin. I think the toned down satin foldovers look great and looks exceptionally pretty with a dress. Definitely my pick for the season.

Marc by Marc Jacobs F/W '09

Marc by Marc Jacobs is back again with something for the twenty somethings. This time we spot models dressed like mountaineers with furry boots, carrying the new arm candies you'll see in stores near you very soon.

This coming Fall, be prepared to find large and small zip top totes. The Marc collection is simple and elegant. Gold hardware is still an "in" thing among the designers. Although simple, you'll find a variety of colors to choose from - blues, reds, whites, blacks, you name it. Besides the usual grained and smooth leather, you'll be surprised corduroy is in as well!

Take a look for yourself!


































An overall simple collection that's easy to match your clothes. After having looked at the entire collection, I must say the bags go well with just about anything! A versatile collection on the whole. Although some early twenties might find the bag adds age to a person like how taking pictures add pounds.

Cloudy Days Ahead

Marc by Marc Jacobs 'Locket Pocket - Big Collapsible Tote'


The Locket Pocket canvas tote caught my eye the other day even as I was browsing the net. The bright colors caught my eye at a first glance and if you look at it more, the white patches somehow look like clouds, don't you think?

I suppose, when I look at a bag, I not only taking into account the uniqueness of the bag (I'll come back to this in a sec) but also the durability and usefulness. Afterall, I'm not about to splurge on something I'll never use. But I'll have you know firsthand that this beauty is fairly priced.



A big canvas tote, you're not going to have to worry about its durability or capacity. It's definitely going to be easy to maintain yet carry everything you need with you wherever you go. What's more, it comes with a leather flap (on the side) secured by the MJ signature turnlock on the side which helps fold up and pack away the tote when not used. Definitely a travel necessity!

Find out more about the Locket Pocket Collapsible Tote by Marc of Marc Jacobs via Nordstrom or purchase this item today at $168!

If you're a follower of our blog, you'll notice that this bag looks familiar to you. Yes, this bag was seen in our Fashion Week Coverage. This "Amazon Shoulder Bag" by Marc Jacobs definitely seems inspired by a Jungle-esque theme that was all the rage with all MJ designs this season, including those for Louis Vuitton.

This bag definitely exudes a native-like character with its contrasting textures and colours. This metallic leather multi-flapped bag is made of Zebra-print pony hair, snakeskin and suede with leather tassel, padlock and key details. The colourful woven guitar strap inspired sling strap also takes the whole tribal-ethnic vibe to another more 'authentic' level.

Pre-Order this bag from MJ's S/S 09 runway collection for a price of $2,950 via eLuxury today!

Marc Jacobs Heart Clutch

Today's pick is from Marc Jacobs' Cruise/Resort Collection 2009. I must say that it's definitely different from his usual bags which are quilted, structured and sturdy-looking. This MJ creation is totally feminine, fun, flirty, playful and youthful! What's more, its something that can be used for either day or night! ;)


Marc Jacobs Collection
Big Heart Zip Clutch
$795.0

In different shades of Fuschia, this Heart Zip clutch is made of cut-out hearts of varying sizes and textured leathers ranging from slightly glossed leather, to lizard-printed embossed leather that are attached appliqué-style on both the front and the back of the clutch. Definitely bringing out the girly girl in all of us, this clutch retails for $795 at eLuxury . I hope that Marc Jacobs continues heading in this more youthful direction in his future collections!

Note: if pink isn't your colour, this clutch is also available in Metallic Silver (Pre-Order) at Saks

Presenting: Marc by Marc Jacobs S/S 09 Collection


A couple of days ago, I posted Marc Jacobs' main line. Today, its is other, more affordable line. Usually we see some similarities between the 2, but this season, its totally different. We see his signature monogram bags (that constantly appears every season in his Marc by MJ line), his utility bags, and of course, his signature 'Miss Marc' range that shows this character in different personalties and 'jobs' every season.




Here's his range of utility bags which are more practical. Btw, wouldn't you agree that It's been ages since we've seen the backpack grace the runways?




And here's what Bagaholic Babe looks forward to every collection - his 'Miss Marc' bags! I just adore Miss Marc, she's such a cutie! Come S/S, we see this character in a tank and heart-shaped sunglasses...



The Verdict: Bagaholic Babe loves the Miss Marc bags, especially in those unusual shapes! As for the rest, it ain't really my style...
