Woah, who knew yellow and python could look like a chintz pillow? And who’d think it’d be okay to stick cheap nylon shoulder straps on a $4,200 bag!?!? I guess that would be none other than Marc Jacobs. I generally like Katherine Heigl’s style but a shiny blue cocktail dress is not the first thing I’d think of wearing the bag with. Was it the only bag she traveled with? It’s just so blindingly bright and… spotty. I think my real problem with it is not the color or pattern though, it’s that it looks really cheap yet is outrageously priced. Nylon? Really? I’m perplexed. The Memphis Python tote from Marc Jacobs is at Barneys New York here.
I bought this bag back in April and ended up returning it back to Neimans about a week later! It is pretty and fun but so not worth 4500- with tax! So instead I got a bag from Stephen Sprouse for LV collection with pink graffiti over traditional canvas for 1300! Much better deal and just as much fun to carry for the summer.
If you told me that this was a couple of hundred bucks, i can almost justify it with a jean outfit (like the one Katherine had on the right)…but $4300 for nylon and the tassles r a copy from one of his LV bags, it’s so overpriced. I doubt Katherine paid for this as most celebrity get “freebies” from designers..i guess if it’s free, i might have taken it but even if it’s $1500, i would not have bothered! SLOB
WTF! Nylon straps on a bag that costs almost 5k? I am so over MJ, took all my Marc Jacobs bags to resale store last year, do not regret it at all.
Reminds me of a Vera Bradley bag. And although Vera Bradley is not my taste (to put it mildly), at least the bags are inexpensive, which is more than I can say for this monstrosity.
It looks much better in the green/blue combination seen on the Barneys website – but not for that price.
I agree, it looks cheap to me. I’d be interested to see it in person, if it WOWS.
I´m thrilled about the pictures ! The bag looks great on the actress( ? ), who´s hair I also admire. I completely forget the who and what does it cost questions. Looking at the pictures, this seems irrelevant.
Another bag I just don’t get. Marc Jacobs is just too whimsical for my taste. Eck.
This bag doesn’t look designer at all. It looks generic and if I could afford it, I certainly wouldn’t. Totally Canal Street and on my worst day couldn’t come up with a more horrendous combination of colors, flower appliques & python!!!!
Not surprising, Marc Jacobs continues to flop. But atleast he’s consistent!
I met Katherine Heigl at Bergdorf’s a few years ago, and she is a lovely person. Unfortunately, she has horrible taste in bags, it was obvious then and it’s still obvious. She usually looks pretty great, even without makeup, dressed for a cold day, but someone needs to show her what a great bag can do for an outfit.
EW…Just EW!
yuck!!
Now maybe if the bag was $42.00 I could understand the nylon straps.
As for Katherine Heigl, it’s her call.
I actually love this bag! Total three thumbs up!! I mean, you have to see it in real life to get the whole picture of this bag!
wonderful!

Big surprises are waiting for you!
It’s not my style, but it does look cute with the jean outfit.
i love this bag and i think it looks great. you need to see it in person. it’s actually very well made and quite detailed. better than another boring tod’s or bv or ysl. as much as i love those brands, once you have one bag, you pretty much have everything they have to offer. what’s wrong with whimsical, fun, fresh, irreverent, and different? we’ve all seen a classic python black bag a million times. we all know what it looks like. let’s see something a little refreshing.
lol@ vera bradley
*snicker*
No, no, and no. It’s too much of everything: too yellow, too expensive and too much pattern.
I will never understand the Marc Jacobs phenomenon. Consistently looks like poorly rehashed vintage.
Sienna Miller carried a bag from the same collection in a black, called the ‘Robert Jennifer’. This bag, unlike the one above, is just beautiful. Its a kind of playful take on a classic Chanel. Google it to see!
So I love Katherine Heigl, but this bag is a total lost. Does it remind anyone else of Felix the Cat and his magical bag? http://cartoons-comics.deepthi.com/images/felix.jpg
I like this blog its a master peace ! Glad I detected this on google .
