History of Marc Jacob Handbags
Marc Jacobs, the designer, has received several distinctions in the world of fashion, such as “The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Perry Ellis Award for New Fashion Talent,” in 1987, making him the youngest designer to ever receive this award.
His unique, fashion-forward designs currently range from menswear to, of course, bags. Marc Jacob handbags are visionary works of art, both stylish and functional, ranging from the classic clutch to tote bags. Even his more conventional designs are notable for their outstanding craftsmanship and fine material components. Aside from the fact that Marc Jacobs is one of the most interesting and sought-after designers in the fashion industry, he is also a celebrity favorite. Blake Lively, Drew Berrymore, Scarlett Johansson proudly sport their Marc Jacobs handbags, just to name a few.

I’ve been a housewife for nine months now. I used to be a computer engineer for 20 years. Unemployment is no fun but having a great bag to put my portfolio and business cards in to carry to job interviews would be great! My suits range from black to navy to a tweedy brown but my purse is drab and old. Carrying the Classic Q Aidan bag would bring my outfit to life and make a great impression on a potential boss. Hopefully this next job interview will be the one. I’ll let my new Marc by Marc Jacobs purse be my good luck charm!
The Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Hillier Bag in Black…because there’s nothing better than a fabulous, crossbody bag to keep you handsfree when you’re shopping for the fabulous, black leather, over-the-knee boots to go with it!

I probably wouldn’t have the perfectly tousled hair or name brand boots and sunglasses, but the Marc Jacobs bag would TOTALLY make the outfit. [ps.

My holidays this year include a trip overseas- a trip to India for my best friends wedding (and a few stops in Europe on the way home to see family). It will be a special trip- my boyfriend is coming with me, and so is his Amazing and Inspirational 88 year old grandmother who LOVES to travel and wants a final world trip hurrah!
I have been planning and fantasizing about my perfect travel outfits and the one thing I am missing is a versatile, boldly colored cross body style to wear to wedding festivities, and sightseeing all over India and Europe. My stateside regulars (satchels and hobos) don’t seem to be as versatile and secure as a good cross body style.
The Totally Turnlock Natasha Messenger Bag fits every need! Perfect size, amazing blue color and I can strap it over my body for a stylish (and safe) travel purse.
I can see myself wearing it over all black urban ensembles while visiting my baby niece in Paris, and over flowly skirts, tunics, Salwar Kameez and Saris in India. Please Santa- make a girl’s purse dreams come true! My travel dreams depend on it!
