Marc Jacobs Escapes to Madagascar!
By Bag Snob Tina
December 24, 2008

Let me put this delicately, even if this was the last bag on earth and free, I wouldn’t carry it. I can’t imagine what went through MJ’s mind when he designed/approved of this awful thing (well, I can imagine but I’m not going to say it). I tried to make the photos as small as possible as to not frighten you with a nightmare before Christmas but it was necessary to show all the gruesome details of this ghastly bag. mjmadascar.jpgTo make matters worse, it appears the entire cast of Escape to Madagascar were used for the bag (I adore that movie– I like to move it move it!). The poor animals– had they known this would happen they would have stayed in the NYC Zoo! I can’t even tell how you’re supposed to open the bag, or perhaps the bag is merely decorative!?!?! Will have to request sample to investigate further but we are not the most popular people at Marc Jacobs. Such a shame because I’d love to sit with him and just watch him at work. Then I can explain the madness genius to you all. MARC JACOBS – LAYERED SAHARA TOP HANDLE 1,749.00 EUR/2,438.33 USD at Luisa Via Roma.

Enough of what I think, what say you my lovelies? Snob or Slob?

    Which is worse, this one or the Braccialini Great Wall. The back of the bag looks okay. The front, too busy. It grows increasingly hideous the longer I look at it.

    This is the reason why the word TACKY exists…and the price tag is even tackier…

    LOL Deja Pseu!!!

    I’ve always hated Marc Jacobs and never understood the hype about this tacky man. By the way, have you guys seen the groteque naked picture of MJ in Bazaar magazine?!! Talk about scaring the living daylights out of me!!

    overrated designer. overpriced,ridiculous bag. doubt his bags will be worth much in 10 yrs time, especially the cheaper lines-although def not cheap if you look at their design and materials used,he charges £55 for a flipping cotton tote!

    Ok, this is beyond gross. Makes you wonder how he will make an even more hideous bag. He is a genius.

    I believe Marc Jacobs is a genius, but this is a mess! I wonder if he is abusing drugs again. So sad.

    One of the worst bags I’ve seen. Many of his designs, including shoes, are an insult.

    Haha….i love this post. Made me laugh and turned my day around. Thanks, Tina.

    Bad bag tho…I think he made the next season’s Louis Vuitton the very similar bags too. Watch out for those!

    fug, fug, fug! which means, a similar style will appear for LV shortly, i bet. also heard he did another stint in rehab. not sure if he creates fug bags when he’s in the throes of addiction or after rehab.

    My 14-yr old daughter just came up behind me and said this was one of the ugliest bags she had seen. She said she could make a better bag in her sleep, expecially for $2400!

    Oh, and what praytell is better in your opinion? One of those terribly generic, monogrammed LVs? Or a grotesquely overpriced Hermes made out of an endangered animal?

    I must be the exception because I think its interesting, different and fun. Much more intereting than a birkin (does anyone really like their shape anyway – I think the marketing hyoe is much better than the actual product). With skinny jeans and a white shirt – I’m going to make this bag my bitch in 2009!
