Remember the frenzy-inducing bag named after Jessica Stam? Just as quickly as the Canadian supermodel rose to fame, so did the eponymous bag, making it one of the most instantly recognizable Marc Jacobs designs ever. The vintage-inspired Stam was the “Chanel bag” option for Snobs who weren’t quite ready to tote their mothers’ bags. The double stitch quilting, the oversized kiss-lock, everything about it said cool girl chic. I have it in not just the classic quilted leather but in python, too. It looks like Jessica is a fan of exotics, as well, carrying the cherry red croc version to host the MJ pre-show at New York Fashion Week. Seeing this, I’m coveting the Stam all over again like it’s 2005! But even icons can use updates, so the bag has swapped out its handles and chunky chain for a sleek strap on the Little Stam (perfect for tiny Tina!). The same puckered shape with an added crossbody? It’s like Marc’s reading my mind – just what you need to kiss-lock and go! Available at Neiman Marcus for $995.
