Marc by Marc Jacobs Locket Pocket Big Tote
As my fellow blogger Viva pointed out in a recent post, compact and portable designs are not new to the world of accessories. Although it doesn’t seem to be as common when it comes to tote bags, I have been seeing different versions of the collapsible tote popping up here and there. Well it seems now that good ol’ Marc has joined in on the act. Introducing the Marc by Marc Jacobs Locket Pocket Big Tote. It’s a large canvas tote that you could use for just about anything really. Personally, I think it would be great for a trip to the beach or a day of shopping at a farmers’ market. The bag has a sturdy leather bottom and a curious-looking leather tab on the side. At first I wasn’t quite sure what the tab was for. It has a turnlock closure on it, but it’s not a pocket. Interestingly enough, it turns out that the tab can be used to secure the collapsed tote into a neat little package. This tote is probably a bit too casual for most people to use as a regular handbag. But I think it would make a great “emergency” tote that you could keep handy, just in case you find yourself in need of a tote bag to carry stuff in. And, of course, it would make a really cute beach bag!
The Marc by Marc Jacobs Locket Pocket Big Tote is available in a Multi Print or Lush Teal. Unfolded, it is very spacious, measuring 21″ x 15″ x 4.5″. It retails for $168. Find it at ShopBop

How much? I’ll wait until it hits the sale section.
I think the first one is fun, I like the print.
I don’t know what to say. lol. This bag is really nice looking, but no way I would pay that much. That’s just crazy.
This would be perfect for traveling.
we already have longchamps for less
This bag is really cute.
Just a great “emergency” tote.
I don’t understand why this is so much.
My daughter uses this tote as a travel bag when she comes home for a visit. It’s very durable, and not that expensive.
Does this come in in another colors?
I thought I saw this bag in a yellow.. maybe I was dreaming.
I would use this for school, but not for anything else.
I would not wear this.
Not a fan of this.
It looks really cheaply made to me.
This is such a neat idea. Yay marc.
My grandmother would wear this. I can just see her filling it up with her pool / workout stuff.
I have the hermes one.. no way I would trade it in for this.
Yay, I like this one.
I’ll wait until it hits the sale section.
