Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc Canvas Tote: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 09:45:59 -0800

It amazes me how Marc Jacobs can churn out some absolutely loveable things, and some absolutely hateable things. The designer definitely has a sense of humor, though I feel only a small percentage of the fashion population really gets it. Take this Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc Canvas Tote, $268, for example. I really like the canvas with leather trim and shape of the bag but Miss Marc is a bit too, well, weird. And I like weird, just not on my handbag. This character reminds me of the freaky little girl from The Ring. What do you all think? Love or hate little Miss Marc?

On Our Radar: Marc by Marc Jacobs Canvas Tote

FabSugar — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 06:45:44 -0700

Over the Anya Hindmarch "I'm Not a Plastic Bag" Tote, but not over the PC notion of using a canvas tote to carry groceries? The "Jacobs by Marc Jacobs for Marc by Marc Jacobs" canvas tote is a very stylish and viable option at only $12! Plus, it has a sense of irony: Marc pokes fun at himself and all the other designers who plaster their names all over everything. That's my boy.

Simply Fab: Karl and Marc Canvas Totes

FabSugar — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 09:00:11 -0700

The canvas tote continues to evolve. It took off with Anya Hindmarch's I'm Not a Plastic Bag - remember the frenzy? - and has since taken all sorts of designs and personalities. The latest, and arguably coolest, are these Pattern People Karl and Marc Canvas Totes ($45 each). I mean walking alongside the real Karl and Marc would be way more entertaining, but their cartoon versions are second best. I'm all team Karl; Imagine walking into a supermarket with the Kaiser by your side.

Back-to-School Splurge: Marc Jacobs Canvas Satchel

GeekSugar — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 14:26:15 -0700

Just because I'm not going back to school, doesn't mean I can't dream about what accessories and gadgets I would purchase if I were to become studious again!

And now that I'm a 20-something working girl, naturally I feast my eyes on a $940 (that's the sale price!) Marc Jacobs leather and canvas bag. At 14 inches wide, this luxurious Italian-made satchel could easily tote around a 13-inch MacBook Pro. And even if you're not going back to school, this bag could also be the perfect bag for carrying to and from work.

Don't Forget to Show Us Your Farmers Market Totebags!

YumSugar — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:00:19 -0700

The culinary world is gearing up for Slow Food Nation. The festival, which celebrates local, sustainable farm-to-table food, is in San Francisco over Labor Day weekend. Slow Food encourages people to purchase seasonal produce from farmers markets in an environmentally-friendly manner. That means toting the goods in a reusable bag rather than a disposable one.

Currently, I'm bringing back this navy blue Marc by Marc Jacobs tote that I bought last year. It's soft and flexible, yet able to hold everything I buy. I love the way it pokes fun at itself as well as designer labels in general.
To celebrate Slow Food, both PartySugar and I have taken pictures (she debuted hers earlier this week) with our beloved farmers market totes, and now we want you to do the same! Snap a pic of you with your favorite reusable farmers market bag and send it to us. You can use the Look Book feature on TeamSugar, post it in a blog, or on your own website. When everyone's submitted their photos (due date: Sept. 1), I'll do a giant post featuring everyone's pictures (and you don't have to cover your face, we're just shy!)

To be included in the roundup, notify me via email with "YumSugar Farmers Market Tote" in the subject line, or personal message me with the following information:

- Name you want me to use
- Where you're from
- What farmers market you shop at
- Details about your favorite totebag
- Link to your LookBook, blog post, or website or photo of you holding your favorite tote
- One short sentence on why you chose that tote

After we've received all of the submissions, we'll pick one lucky winner and send her her very own YumSugar tote! I can't wait to see your favorite totes.

Link Time!!!

The Search for the Perfect Bag Continues

DearSugar — Wed, 01 Mar 2006 08:33:25 -0800

Dear Sugar
I am about to complete my masters' degree in May and I am trying to cultivate a more professional look. Clothing-wise I'm pretty much set, but there is one thing that I can't get right. The right bag for school/work! In high school, I sported a Herve Chapelier tote, or a Kate Spade messenger bag and lately I've been trying to use a Jack Gomme structured tote bag, but it's really not hip enough for me. Most of the "professional" looking bags I've seen are dowdy or too "mommy" like. My Fendi Spy bag is great, but doesn't work well at school or at my internship (too flashy and can't hold any paperwork or books). I've been seeing a lot of girls wearing large leather hobo bags and I am desperate for one! I'm thinking of getting one in dark brown, or maybe black (blah!), that would be roomy enough to hold some paperwork if necessary, and maybe a book or two, plus all the essentials (blackberry, makeup case, credit cards!). Can you recommend a bag? I saw one from Marc Jacobs last season but can't find it anywhere! I loved the big Gucci Hobo Jessica Simpson was sporting, but as with my Spy bag, I think it may be too flashy for the office. Dress me for the job I want. Thanks! Bag Lady

Dear Bag Lady
You have great taste! Ok, as I see it you have 2 options; You can go for a HUGE tote and carry everything all in one, or you can carry 2 bags - one for work and one for school. I love Chloe's large Paddington Tote. It's casual yet chic and the label doesn't come out and hit you over the head so it's ok for work. But it's leather which may get ruined if you are using it like a back pack for textbooks. Chanel has a new huge bag with its fabulous chain straps. It's called The Chanel Mademoiselle Tote Large. The leather happens to be extremely supple, which again could damage easily, but it's gorgeous and discreet to most (see photo below). Something else you may like is the new Marc Jacobs large Satchel bag. And - don't discount the fabulous and still very "it" Large Balenciaga Motorcycle bag that we see MK and Ashley using as school totes.
