Product test

Marc Jacobs Tote handbag on trial

2.12.2016

Translation: machine translated

We test the bags in our range in the office and in everyday life. After all, who doesn't want to look stylish and have a good quality accessory with them? On the agenda: the "Tote" bag by Marc Jacobs.

The Marc Jacobs brand is synonymous with luxury, quality, a touch of fashion and extravagance combined with a certain class. Our product manager for jewellery, bags and luggage, Roxana Fröhlich, wondered if these attributes were also found in its products. And to be able to answer this question, she looked at the E/W Tote handbag model by Marc Jacobs. Our report shows you whether the value for money is really justified.

In addition to value for money, Roxana also took the following points into account:

Delivery
Size
Finish and material
Quality in relation to price
Ability of the bag to be used on a daily basis

First impression

The first impression is extremely positive. The bag arrived wrapped in a cloth bag that protects the leather from dust, stains and scratches. Sensitive areas, such as zips, leather and metal details, were additionally protected with paper. The bag's leather is impeccable, supple and of very good quality. It looks very stable and has a very neat finish. [[image:6851352]]

The practical test

For the office or an aperitif, the bag is ideal for all occasions. The size of the bag is very practical. However, the bag may be too small for women who carry half their lives in their trusty companion. This is our product manager's biggest criticism. Roxana found the shoulder strap very comfortable, especially when riding on the back of the bike. Another negative point is that the main compartment doesn't zip up. However, the zipped side pockets are handy for storing valuables. If you prefer classic colours like Roxana, the black handbag offers a matching alternative. [[product:5784429]]

Tote

Marc Jacobs' 'Tote' bag is perfect for women who want a small bag and don't need too much space for their stuff. The main compartment without a zip is a problem. In short: Marc Jacobs sells very good quality bags, which bring a bit of change to everyday life thanks to their bold colours.
