the marc jacobs stella bag is a definite classic.  during its original release, it reached near-cult status with its devotees, and with good reason – the bag is stylish, timeless, and a perfect everyday tote.

so, i was thrilled to see the old become new again – jacobs has re-released the cult classic for fall, complete with a gorgeous, crinkly calfskin and a messenger-length strap (which can be detached using the subtle gold rivets on the sides – a detail i love).  now you truly have the best of both worlds.

it’s available in more classic shades, but i love this dark plum color, above.  it’s a nod to the trendy jewel tones of fall, but you’ll be amazed by how neutral the color really is.  great with denin, greys, blacks, and even other deep, fall colors – there’s a reason this bag has been a staple of stylish women everywhere for years.  this lovely new version is sure to become a staple in your closet too.  pick it up at saks before history repeats itself, and the stella is just a faint fashion memory.
