I know, no need to comment on such a lame bag but I just have one thing to say. If I wanted a tote that looks like the one in the picture, why wouldn't I just get a tote that was that shape rather than getting a rectangular tote that has a trompe l'oeil of the bag I really want? Does that make sense? And it's not like the trompe l'oeil bag is some magnificent design that couldn't be achieved in real life, it is just a plain stupid tote with some straps. If it were like in the shape of a humming bird or something else too frail to accomplish in real life, then fine. You know the reason behind trompe l'oeil, such as, you want to have a huge scene of a long ass hallway but your house is only 2,000 square feet so you have to just live with a fake hallway drawn in. Anyway, if you think it is novel it does make a good bag for the grocery store and is only $98 at Saks.

I am just not a Marc fan. I liked the stam bag when it first came out, but for what he's done to LV, I just can't hang. And if you want a bag like this, get one at Trader Joe's for under five bucks. It's actually way cuter!
OMG Kelly you are so frickin' funny you made me laugh soda out my nose!!!! (Ewwww almost as gross as the bag!)
100 bucks is 100 bucks TOO much on this p.o.s. I think he purposefully makes these crazy designs for the advertisement and also so that the bag snobs can find a hideous bag to write about! lol. Not a fan of all his stuff namely the quirky eccentric designs. much prefer his version of "classic"
i totally agree.
another bag of his i can't stand is the black & whiter houndstooth patter that is emblazened, in hot pink, "TOTE".
i can read, thank you very much, Mr. Jacobs. and i can tell its a tote. he also made an umbrella that says "umbrella".
a lot of his bags are disappointing.
This is awful! How about wearing a tuxedo trompe l'oeil shirt with it? LOL

oh no! Someone on purse forum had this bag under her signature! It's so funny what one person can think is the ugliest thing can be the most beautiful bag in the world. I guess that's why marc still has a job.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder! and this to me is hideous.
I like the marc by marc jacobs faux real shopper. This one is a bit too much for me.
He really needs to reevaluate his designs. I thought this was a joke and clicked on the Saks website and it really is available.
Hey, didn't YSL design a similar bag? I thought it was featured here or on Purseblog...
It looks like a supermarket tote to me, and then again there are supermarket totes that are way cuter for a lot less.
What was he smoking when he designed that? If designers were placed in order of their achievements, YSL (for example)ranks high, whereas Marc is overrated.
I'm not saying that I like the bag; but I completely agree with you.
I'd buy the bag that's drawn if I wanted it, but Mlle Coco Chanel invented faux bijoux, why can't there be faux sacs?

I guess I'm the only one on here that likes it. Not love it and I wouldn't go higher than $50 for it, but I thought it was cool and would look great with a downtown chic, understated outfit. I think the classic Louis Vuitton bags are tacky unless they have an amazing shape to counteract all that blah pattern, so I'm probably coming from a different viewpoint as most bag snobbers here, but that's okay.
The bag's art has a bold graphic style, with a clear 'drawn' look. Actual trompe l'oeil is about tricking you into thinking you're seeing something you aren't. This is just a design that I'm sure Marc's design team thought it was quite clever.
I don't argue that the bag is ugly, but from the reivew it just sounds like you learned a new phrase and couldn't wait to try it out, even though you aren't 100% on how it should be used.
I like this bag. I think it's cute and funny.
