This lavish, quilted handbag in "metallic yellow" (or "gold" to the common shopper) is a Marc Jacobs style that's still red hot, but has had its price knocked by 60% over at The Outnet.
I can see this being a great buy prior to the summer season, as the sunny shade is going to be all the rage, while Chanal has proven to all of us that quilting isn't going to be going anywhere soon. Not quite a bargain, but definitely good buy territory!
£340 at The Outnet
Marc Jacobs was clearly enjoying the opportunity to spend some quality time with partner Lorenzo Martone while on holiday in St Barts - by hitting the shops hard! And judging by the size of that carrier bag it had been a pretty successful haul.
Marc's Manbag of choice is currently the buff Hermes Birkin he's carrying here. I wonder if Lorenzo's bought himself a matching accessory to match the identikit beard and tat combos?

Even if you can't be warm this winter, your bag can stay toasty. Just looking at this plush, sheepskin hobo by Marc Jacobs makes me feel cosy inside, and somehow that makes it just the sort of accessory I want on my arm. Even the strap would add a bit of extra padding!
Marc Jacobs' tan sheepskin hobo is also available in an adorable chocolate-brown shade, which is available at the same price. Both are unusual styles for MJ, but they still have the signature utility pockets and monogrammed buckles, letting you stay chic even in extreme weather conditions!

Sure, the only way to get this baby in your clutches in time for Christmas is by magic sleigh, but I've totally fallen for this pretty pink tote bag from Marc Jacobs and would love to have it be my constant companion in 2010.
Also available in tan leather, the East West tote is a classic MJ design, with slight military leanings aside its very girly colouring and stylised bows. A striped interior and multiple handy pockets make this bag ideal for everyday wear.

Don't let anyone steal your heart - 'cause with this new accessory from Marc Jacobs, all it would take is a swift pull of a zip.
His folksy, patchwork-style bag is bound to be a huge hit over the summer and the contrasting heart panel with its oversizsed, chunky zip makes this a very distinctive and covet-worthy MJ piece. If you want to start saving your pennies now, the bag is available at My Theresa, and costs £133

If you're up for spending a cool couple of hundred on a wallet (it seems crazy, but it's perhaps preferable to the couple of hundred cheap ones I've bought and subsequently destroyed in my time) then you could do a lot worse than choosing a nice bold item from Marc Jacobs' current line in purses. He's still on a leopard print kick here, with proof that his classic 'Q' wallet can indeed change its spots.
The wallet itself is large enough that it could function as a small handbag for those who like to travel light. Its beaded strap makes for easy carrying, and there are three compartments with twelve credit card slots (ouch!) and a mirror compartment for on-the-go grooming.

It looks like acid brights are here to stay in accessories - at least for the time being. Jimmy Choo's not the only one who's been a bit heavy-handed with the highlighter pens of course, as Marc Jacobs is also doing a big line in luminosity at the moment.
My attention was grabbed today by this 'Leo' printed nylon tote bag, which I think would make the perfect carry-case for a small laptop or netbook. Its fabric brings down the cost considerably for a Marc Jacobs bag, and this would be a great companion while travelling.
£130 at My Theresa
