I think Marc Jacobs is a design genius, really I do. And the Stam bag that has been around forever, in all sorts of iterations, is a true classic. But not this.. Seriously what was he thinking? This looks like your bag fell into the dollar vat at Michael’s! FUG! $2350 at Neiman Marcus.

I need another bag like I need a new pair of shoes. But I saw this and thought my babies bags need a new friend. It’s the brand new Totally Turnlock ”Shifty” bag from Marc By Marc Jacobs. Nothing shifty about it – it really doesn’t get any better than this! At 13″x16″x5″ this is roomy enough to hold everything you don’t need, yet structured enough to not look like a piece of luggage! I love how this is really three bags in one. It can be hand carried as a satchel, with the longer strap it makes a great shoulder or crossbody bag. Mark (no pun intended) my words -this is going to be HUGE this fall! It comes in peacock (blue), black or chickpea (ivory shown). $478 at Zappos.

First Chanel, now Bottega, Mr. Marc Jacobs could you think of some original ideas please? I realize your Annabel tote is $2200 less than Bottega’s woven leather framed satchel, but it is just too “inspired” for my taste. Marc you are trend making genius, I know you can do better!

Bottega Veneta Woven Leather Framed Satchel (Top) $3550 Marc Jacobs Polished Quilting Annabel Tote (Bottom) $1350, both available at Saks.

If your name is Estelle, you live in Miami Beach, you think leopard is a neutral and you have more money than you know what to do with, then by all means buy this bag. For the rest of us, we’ll just…umm…admire this creation from afar. Marc Jacobs Gilda Fur and Sequins Flap Bag $1995 at Saks.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw these two new Tory Burch bags - until I looked closely at them I thought they were from Marc Jacobs! Blatant rip offs! Ugh. How about something original Tory? Top row (left to right) Tory Burch Dean $395 and Tory Burch Louisa $350. Bottom row (left to right) Marc by Marc Jacobs Kiki $478 and Marc Jacobs Single Large $625. At Neimans.
