When talking about handbags and Jessica Stam’s name comes up, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? For most people it would be the “It bag” of 2006-07, the Marc Jacobs Stam. As the name suggests the bag was named after the Canadian supermodel. Well, that was then. Now.. her name is back in the bagosphere with her latest collaboration with fashion designer Rachel Roy.
Listen up fellow Gilt Noir shoppers, there’s an exclusive Marc Jacobs online sample sale happening now over at Gilt Groupe in the exclusive Noir section of the site!
They say blue is the new black. But this Marc Jacobs 2010 Rockstar Clutch is blue AND black! What a fun combination! You would definitely have the best of both worlds with this beauty! It’s a little difficult to tell from the picture, but the main body of this clutch constructed of black hide (= pony hair). The leather flap at the front features a blue and gold houndstooth pattern, which I find to be quite stunning. You don’t see a lot of houndstooth when it comes to handbags, but I think Marc did very well.
Every bagista needs at least one classic-looking handbag in her wardrobe. Something that can be worn with just about anything, without the fear of looking too trendy or dated. Something that can stand the test of time. Normally, I would say that this is the kind of bag where you should plan on making a real investment. But if you’re looking to pick up a chic, classic handbag at an incredible price… then look no further than the Marc Jacobs Rose Flap Bag! Right now, Nordstrom has this beauty on sale for 40% off the regular price!
I really like this bag because it has that classic Marc Jacobs look with its little flap pockets and push-lock closures. However, this bag also has its own unique look. The large flap closure gives the Marc Jacobs Rose Flap Bag a very refined appearance, while the exposed zip gussets add a little bit of versatility. It is quite distinct from other styles, such as the Blake or the Lisa.
