    Default Ladies, need your purse opinion...

    I have a 20% discount to anything at Saks and I was looking at this marc jacobs. It's still an investment but was wondering if it's worth it. Here is a link to the bag:

    I have a MJ bag and I've been carrrying it for about 3 years. It still looks as good as when I bought it.

    I got it on sale too, so I got the matching wallet

    I just don't think i could spend over a grand on a purse. I was excited when my husband bought me my first coach bag. Haha Now i have 3 and they are all I use.

    I am sure Marc Jacobs makes quality items. But personally, I don't like the style of the bag

    Everyone has different tastes and ideas on whether something is worth it. Only you can decide.

    Me? Nope, it wouldn't be worth it.

    I like MJ, but the Stam bag is a very popular fake right now. I love it, but I wouldnt get that particular style because it would piss me off so bad if someone thought it was fake.

    You have a 20% discount on anything at Saks? Let's go shopping!!!!!!

    I love that bag, btw. I think it's fabulous and classy i.e. not gonna go out of style. But it's definitely out of my budget, so I wouldn't buy it for myself. But if you've got the means, it's a hot bag!

    It's cute but that chain would bother.

    ^yea that's my opinion which obviously shouldn't matter if we have different tastes! It does look like a grandma purse tho. I like the last 2 Chrissy linked to, specially the middle one.

    MJ isn't my favorite bag designer, but if you like it I'm sure it's a great bag. A lot of people love MJ. I just like other designers better. I'm a big Jimmy Choo fan.

    I think its a classic, and beautiful. But to lots of people that = old ladyish.

    the drawstring-look, the big gaudy chain, the quilted part, are what looks old ladyish to me, not the classy and elegant part.

    My MJ has lasted me over 3 years and I have a tendency to be rough with my bags. If you like it, go for it!!

    Just curious, is it a one-time 20% off or you get that all the time??

    When you click the link anyone else get a 10% discount?

    I would like the purse if it did not have that chain, and if it was a classic black.

    I agree. That style has been overly-knocked off. There are a lot of others to choose from.

    As long as you like it, that's what matters. I haven't bought a Stam, but I like them. They're classic but bold and can look good with something demure or edgy.

    If you're looking for a more "classic investment piece" bag though, I recommend something by Bottega Veneta, Tod's, Chanel or Lambertson Truex. But ultimately it's up to you.

    And I agree that MJ bags are well-made. I had one that I schlepped for 3+ years and looked good the whole time. I gave it to a friend to make room in my closet, she's been carrying it around for a year and a half. It still looks good!

    Oooh! That would be my pick! I Gucci horsebit pieces.

    But (to OP) if you like it, and especially with 20% off, go for it!

    I don't know about Gucci currently, but I had a couple of Guccis way back when (like over 10 years ago) and they were pieces of shit that fell apart. Totally not worth the money IMO.

    Oh I don't like it but if you like it is all that matters. I think the second one Chrissy68 put is nice.

    Are you going for name brand or quality and style? Just wondering because there are so many high-end bags that are amazing. If you're going for the name-brand, get a knock-off. For quality, check out US mag or L&S for some bags to salivate over. Just an idea. I LOVE bags.

    Doesn't buying a knockoff kinda defeat the purpose of going for the brand???

    IDK, I hate knockoffs no matter what the reason.

    ^^^^^ See I feel like paying for the brand is a waste. I prefer style and quality over label. If you just want the label, buy the knock-off. If you really want the style and quality, shop for style-quality. If it happens to be a M. Jacobs - so be it. But to seek out something just because it's a M. Jacobs seems funny to me. Does that make sense now?

    I dunno. I've just been wondering about this (people who shop primarily for the label) so I thought I'd ask.
