The Marc Jacobs Safety Pin Stam Bag

Hot off the presses, the Marc Jacobs Fall 2009 Collection is now available for pre-order at Nordstrom (.com). Among the new arrivals you’ll find the bag I have featured here. It’s called the Marc Jacobs Safety Pin Stam Satchel. We’re all familiar with the Stam, but it appears as though Marc has chosen a rather unusual adornment for this particular version — two extra large safety pins. Leave it to good ol’ Marc to give us all a good chuckle! He has this way of taking something so ordinary and turning it into something extraordinary. Yes, it’s wacky and eccentric. But what can I say? Marc is a wacky and eccentric sorta guy (in a good way, of course!). And I can’t help but love him and his designs regardless. I’m always excited to see his new collections season after season, anxiously waiting to see what he’ll come up with next.
The Marc Jacobs Safety Pin Stam Satchel is available in Cobalt Blue (shown) or Black. The bag features an updated smooth texture and contrast trim. It measures 15″ x 9.5″ x 7″ and it retails for $1,395. Find it at Nordstrom. There you will also find this bag’s little sister, the Marc Jacobs Safety Pin Clutch.

I would rock this!
Safety pins? I like this new idea..
It’s different, just not me.
I love the safety pin trend.
Not my cup of tea.
I think the clutches are really cute.
Oh boy, this is too weird for me.
This is so fab!
I would never trade in my original stam for this.
I prefer the classic stam.
It looks too underconstruction for me.
Oh man, I completely forgot about the sunglasses sale!
^ oops. Ignore that..
that comment was meant for the sample sale post.
I think that the clutch is so me. *
Ick, I’m not a fan of how he made these hot bags look ugly
by adding in a cheapy pin, but to each their own I guess.
Btw I’m having a giveaway featuring designer fashion site

I'm calling this now... looks like the fringe and short-lived zipper trend are out for fall -- it's going to be the safety pin season!
I just think this bag is so hilarious! I swear, only Marc would put giant safety pins on a bag! LOL!
Safety pins? How creative. I coulda done it myself....can u just take an older stam and put some pins in it?
Hm. I'm not really feeling the safety pin trend.
