A VERY REAL UNBOXING: MARC JACOBS THE TOTE BAG MINI 

Right bag, wrong time! 😆 That’s awesome this ended up working out for you at a different time. I actually ordered the size large canvas version and I’m in LOVE! Who knows, my opinion could totally change down the line! I will admit something about the black does look better to me. Not sure why!

I might give the small a try!!

yes, the bag is great! amazing quality and very functional. I think for the price tag it just wasn’t realistic for me because I don’t have a hole in my collection that I need to fill. Love the color you got by the way!!!

love the rose dust color 😍 I hope you love it!!

@@tesluxe me too ! 🙂❤️

thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts. I also admired the color cement when I was selecting a bag to try. it’s a great bag & this is definitely a situation where it was a me thing, not a fault of the tote! I have ordered the size large canvas version to see if that’s a better fit for me and my lifestyle. can’t wait to give it a shot 😍

I’ve been loving admiring all the recent really fun colors!!!

The dusty rose is a beautiful color! I’m so happy it’s working out for you 🥰

I love the black! I think it looks so chic. I wish this bag worked out for me. You can’t go wrong with either!

the khakis canvas is stunning!! i know so many people rave about the leather (and it’s very buttery) but i think the canvas style is more casual and won’t be dated as quick! plus it’s a much better price point.

@@tesluxe true! Also I’m not sure if you managed to see it, but I did your FOMO bag tag! Such a great idea 💕 happy Easter if you celebrate 🐇🌸

@@anthorpology i’m definitely gonna go watch 🥰 happy easter to you as well.

it’s so funny because I’ve never bought a scratch off ticket in my life but my boss loves to give them to us. I usually never win but I have a couple dollar winners in there from him lol 😂 thank you girl 🤍

Thank you, Patricia. Yes, in comparison to other companies this could be considered a good price but nothing is worth hard earned money if we aren’t completely happy with it! This is something I have worked on for many years. Don’t settle, even for a “good deal” 😊 & Thank you for agreeing with my opinion on the lack of bubble wrap! I know this isn’t a luxury brand but some packaged air would have been nice 😆

you’re absolutely right about LV not always having good packing either… even less than this. I think I’m just so used to fashionphile 😂 this color and the blush are absolutely STUNNING! I hope you carry them soon and enjoy them to the fullest!

are you going to get a new strap?

@@tesluxe I have a beautiful MJ one with Black and Tan and cream stripes but it’s so bulky. But it looks great with the argan bag

@@pappyone6062 I always thought the MJ onrs looked heavy.

you bring up a great point in that I think I might have enjoyed this bag more in a fun color. it needs something a little extra. quality and functionality is a 10/10 but it just didn’t make my heart sing. totally a me thing! the bag itself was great!

thank you so much for subscribing and watching. Julie is one of my favorite content creators! I am totally with you on the hesitation. I like the bag and think it’s good quality, but the price is too high (in my personal opinion) for it to not be timeless. I have bought vintage louis vuitton pieces off fashionphile for a similar price point. It’s just not for me. That said, I have since ordered the large canvas version to try. I will be making a video on that as well! & thank you so much! my son is my whole world and while the days are long, I know the years are short. trying to be in the moment with him as much as possible. he’s 5 weeks and 1 day!

girl will we EVER find purse peace?! LOL. this color is BEAUTIFUL but I do think the logo will be dated in a year or two. the nice thing is you have the option to wear it with the logo towards your body if you want and it doesn’t look weird.

I totally agree! I’ve even considered the large size in black leather!! Something about the mini just doesn’t work for me personally! Let me know you decide to do!

yes, absolutely! the bag itself is beautiful and functional but it’s just not for me 😊 I totally see why so many others rave about it!

totally valid point! sometimes it's just not worth paying for packing. that tends to be a fault of mine hehe. but I'm so glad you are loving yours!! I still admire them from afar, ESPECIALLY the bright colors they have released.

thank you, love! 🥰

100% agree! I actually ended up getting the size large in canvas and LOVE IT! posting a video on it sunday 😍

also, I think if I tried this in a fun color just to give it a little extra something, I would love it more. the new pink is STUNNING. I also would consider trying the black though too. I think the brown just wasn’t for me.

I am used to ordering preloved on FP! I have seen a lot of people complain LV doesn’t do great wrapping with online orders. You’re definitely not alone!

LV can be hit or miss. I’m used to buying LV on fashionphile which has great packaging 9/10 times. That’s not the sole reason I didn’t keep the bag. I just was underwhelmed by it. I also have a few friends have have sold there’s due to popped stitching. It’s not a bad bag by any means, it just didn’t give me that excited feeling! 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was so impressed! & not too heavy

I actually just got the large canvas version and WOW it was love at first sight. I think it’s gonna work out great for me. I can definitely see how the leather one would get heavier quicker though. The red was super pretty! What color canvas did you go for?!

@@tesluxe I got the olive green one

@@tesluxe what color did you choose ?

@@emmeau great choice! I consider olive green a neutral so I'm sure it looks great with everything. I am now thinking about buying the mini version in a canvas - maybe the light pink. does lint show a lot on the green?

@@tesluxe I haven’t had any lint problems

I totally understand where you’re coming from. I think I hyped up the presentation too much in my head. I guess just because these are still a hefty price tag in my opinion. The bag itself is great, it’s just not for me! I did decide to order the large canvas version. Thinking that might be a better fit 😊 Also, sorry to hear about your LV experience. I would be very upset if that was the case. I think all brands, even luxury, can be a bit inconsistent. Thank you so much for sharing!

I mean the bag is still several hundred dollars they can afford to make the packaging nice its not like a h&m bag or something

@@nordette I felt the same way! At least a little bubble wrap would have been nice.

😘❤️

health insurance card for doctor visits :)

@@tesluxe ohhhhh!! In Australia we call that a Medicare card.

Same. I got a dented cardboard box. No envelope with the paperwork. I love the bag so I'm overlooking it but for $375 I expected a little more umph... even cheapie bags from Michael kors come nicely packaged.

i’m so sorry to hear your bag came so poorly cared for! that makes me sad. I feel like they should spend a little more time with presentation, as many of us bag lovers so value that!

right?! this bag is a chunk of change! (for me anyway) so I feel like expecting a LITTLE TLC when packaging isn’t asking for the world!

color is absolutely STUNNINGGGGG!!!!

thank you for appreciating my honesty! I realize it may not be a huge deal, but for this kind of money I want my items to be kept in good condition!

Truthfully I felt like for the price it should have some more fluff, though I absolutely appreciated how carefully everything on the bag was wrapped!

LOL THANK YOU I THINK. Idk why I came off so bad in this video... I was just being honest!!

@@tesluxeNo, Iove it!! You weren't being fake and we look to you wonderful influencer's feedback. I truly don't purchase many of anything without reviews from Google and even moreso from RU-vid reviews.

I totally would have! But I ended up returning it. They restock often though so I’m sure you can find it. Bloomingdale’s usually has this color and size readily accessible if Marc Jacobs website is sold out 😊

@@tesluxe can you please DM me a link. Would appreciate it.

I’m not sure what you mean, as this bag is not cheap (at least not to me) and bubble wrap/air paper is not asking for much.

Hahaha yeah I just wasn’t feeling the vibe of the bag 🤷🏻‍♀️ Can’t love them all!

@@tesluxe i definitely understand lol

Did you keep it ?

Nope! I ended up returning. No regrets! I know so many people who have theirs still and LOVE it! I'm glad it's worked well for them ♥
