Candy Tyler asked: A true handbag lover would have handbags from Paraguay to China. There are however, few handbags that truly deserve to be kept on a pedestal. Two of these are Blake handbags from Marc Jacob and quilted keepers.
Marc Jacob’s Blake
Nothing speaks of class and elegance more than a Blake handbag by Marc Jacob. With this exquisite piece in your hand, you can get away with looking like a celebrity. The Blake bag has been around since 2004. It has been four years since but its elegant style is still something to die for. Blake by Marc Jacob is made only from real calfskin leather. This ensures that every piece is soft to the touch with each piece having a unique leather grain.
Blake by Marc Jacob isn’t the biggest of bags. It is however the perfect size for any lady who wants to be able to conveniently carry her things. Even if it isn’t too big, it really does hold enough space with three parts inside and two pockets outside. Marc Jacob’s name is on the buckles of each external pocket. Blake can come in green, pink, black and cinnamon among other colors.
Naturally, authentic Marc Jacob Blake handbags have been liberally copied. If you aren’t careful, you could easily end up with a fake Blake. If you can’t really tell the difference between a real Blake and a fake one, you should shop only from popular luxury bag stores that have a reputation to keep. The price can also be a warning sign to you. Even if they have been around for some time, Blake bags do not usually cost below $200 unless you are buying a second hand piece that has seen better days.
Keepers in Quilt
Another fashionable bag style is the quilted keeper. There are of course so many different quilted keepers to choose from. They can be made of fabric, leather or synthetic fabric. The designs also range from very informal to classic elegant. It is probably because of its wide range of styles and designs that make this style perfect for all occasions.
Casual keepers are the cheapest of its kind. There are quilted designs that you can buy for as low as $30. These are perfect for carrying along on short errands or on coffee breaks on a weekend. Of course, you may prefer more formal quilted pieces if you need to go on semi-formal gatherings.
If a handy, formal quilted bag is what you want, you can try the luxury line of keepers. Marc Jacob does have a few pieces in quilted leather like the Stam. The authentic leather and the brand name of Marc Jacob is all you need to assure you that you will look fabulous.
It doesn’t matter whether you prefer quilted keeper handbags or classic handbags. There’s bound to be a marc Jacob design for you.
