Check out the bag Marc Jacobs gave his VIP guests and top editors as their gift for the season. Don’t you love? Each season, Marc sends a handful of very, very lucky ladies a bag that encapsulates the runway show they are about to sit front row at. This particular bag, the Neo-Speedy PM, is similar to its sister bag, the Carrousel, but in a simpler way. I love that the bag can be worn casually (see Alexa Chung) but also look terrific with a Chanel or Balenciaga suit. The calf leather is sumptuous–reminiscent of the Suhali leather–and it has a bit of a slouchy shape, although at its heart it’s structured. Needless to say, it’s plenty roomy and the top opens wide so you can easily find your belongings (the top zip for security reasons is much welcomed). Granted, I think it’s overpriced and coupled with the special order disclaimer, this bag isn’t for everyone.
$4,340, available by special order only
it is really overpriced.But i think if the price will come down then anybdy can buy it.

I really like this
It makes me laugh how designers are experts at social psychology, using the term ‘limited edition’ to suck in customers.
To me, it’s an ordinary if not drab colour and I wouldn’t pay four grand for that.
People would have to put this bag on a special order, because I don’t see it being as popular as most other speedy bags.
The color is way too blah for my taste, but I do like the style. At that price point, though, it’s not going to be added to my collection.
There is really nothing special about this bag…. who cares if it’s in limited edition.
It’s tough to see the bag from the picture. It may be a riff on the putty color bags that Hermes is producing. Nonetheless, bags have priced themselves out. Women used to get excited and buy the it bags when they were less than 2k. Now shoes are 2k. Women will now have to move on to something else that is cheaper in price. These fashion houses don’t get it.
The bag is absolutely perfect! Jacobs did a very beautiful work for the fall winter!

Boring and overpriced and I don’t quite get the obsession with Alexa.. she looks like she just rolled out bed and put on clothes off the floor.
