Impressed...with MARC JACOBS | The Leather Micro Tote Bag Review

This is The Leather Micro Tote Bag by Marc Jacobs, in Citronelle.
It's the first Marc Jacobs bag we've reviewed on the channel.
There is a nice outside leather here, but I was suspicious about the interior leather being fake.
However, my deconstruction revealed a clever technique for finishing the suede side of the leather, instead of using a separate lining material.
Retail price when purchased: $325
Style: The Leather Micro Tote Bag
Color: Citronelle

    I asked for the tote bag a month ago on his shorts! I'm so glad he did it! The first time I ever saw "the tote bag" was when my friend got the black canvas one for her graduation and I loved how spacious it was, but I didn't like that it was canvas, as I felt it wasn't my preferred material, when they came out with the leather one I was still very iffy until my job had one and I actually got to feel the texture of it and the leather was very soft. I fell in love with it and bought it while it was on sale. I will say, my friends black canvas one has faded horribly, it looks like it was sprayed with bleach on some areas, especially the top and handle. I guess that just how it wears out?

    I have this bag and i love it. It could hold 3 kg + easily over several times without losing shape, look bulky etc. I do have a little foam in the bottom to protect it from sagging and thats it. Ive used mine almost 5 months and it almost look like new. I have conditioned it and do not put it into the ground in general. It only has light cornerwear that is almost not visible and the handles look new even when i have full loaded the bag and rubbed it in the crock of my arm several times. I have more expensive luxury items from lv and dior that has given me headache with returns etc. This totebag i reach for minimum 3-4 days a week. I like it.

    I have the leather tote by MJ, and inside it has a tag that says full grain leather. I'm not sure if this size is different because i don't see the pocket that comes in the size above this. This is micro. Mine is mini. I would love to see you do a Bvlgari Serpenti bag. They actually plate their hardware with real gold and use gems for the eyes. Would love to know more about they leather! They seem to only do smooth calfskin or exotic leathers.

    I own the candy pink micro tote and after 2 weeks of use, the bottom corners are faded (looked like worn down), visible color transfer on the side where it’s against my clothing. I love the bag for the size and price but if I used it for everyday I don’t think it’s going to last long on my opinion.

And would it be possible to make the handles go on a ring instead of being stuck on the bag? That way when they wear out I could just take them off and replace with new ones.
