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.

Lauren Conrad has been spotted around Beverly Hills a lot lately toting her favourite Marc by Marc Jacobs Dr. Q Remy handbag. The tan satchel bag is one of The Hills' stars current favourites - she even takes it with her on her way to her work-out session, very versatile! It's a nice change from her favourite Chanel number, but for how long will she keep it in rotation? Copy her style by ordering your Dr Q Remy bag from Nordstrom for $349.

The birdie motif may be absolutely everywhere just now, but at least we can trust Marc Jacobs to capture it in style.
'Sasha' is a versatile, slouchy shoulder bag in classic soft black leather that's large enough to carry around far more than just the essentials, and the gold-toned hardware and decorations give it just the right amount of bling for relaxed, urban chic.

A Marc Jacobs handbag has been high on my list of things I really want for some time and I can't believe I'm alone in my quest. So for all those who've been 'priced out' of the designers luxury luggage, here's one small bit of good news.
The Outnet are selling this dreamy pale blue 'Faridah Totally' hobo bag at 40% off today, which makes it an affordable investment at £196. Hobo-style bags have become absolutely red hot recently (perhaps it's recessionista chic having a joke with us) and although pale colours are a little 'summery', this one is close enough to the slate greys that are out in force this autumn and winter, so it's a good timely buy.
