Brief History of Marc Jacobs Handbags and the Designer
Marc Jacobs was born on April 9 1963 in the city of New York. He attended the prestigious High School of Art and Design and later the Parsons School of Design. His first project was for the Weiser family chain of stores, Charivari. It was to make and design hand knitted sweaters for the store.
He received great honors while he was in Parsons, including the Chester Weinberg Gold Thimble, the Perry Ellis Gold Thimble and a Design Student of the Year award. Soon after he was presented with the awards, he was contacted by Robert Duffy to design for the Ruben Thomas Inc Sketchbook label.
Robert Duffy and Marc Jacobs soon joined Perry Ellis where they were in charge f the women's fashion. By the year 1997, the two were already immersed in many projects and were soon connected with Louis Vuitton where they started designing and making handbags. It was in this very same year that the initial Marc Jacobs store opened in New York.
The Handbags
Marc Jacobs handbags are known to be very versatile and chic. Their designs range from the ultra feminine to the ruggedly feminine. Right now, Marc Jacobs handbags usually have designs which are offered for each season and they usually appeal to all kinds of women.
A Marc Jacobs handbag is noted for their versatility and sturdiness. The Marc Jacobs handbags come in a range of materials from classic leather to the more modern linen. Some of the bags come in fashionable colors, such as purple, orange and green while others will suit the more conservative in their classic black, browns and ecru colors.
The more notable Marc Jacobs handbags are the leather patchwork or quilted designs that are usually outfitted with gold fittings and accessories. These have caught the attention of many a fashionista and are in demand up to today despite having been made for some time already. Many of the Marc Jacobs handbags will also complement the shoes that the designer is also well known for.
Some Marc Jacobs handbag designs utilize all kinds of leather for the more particular consumer such as ostrich and others. Other materials are more common but made into eye catching colors especially those for the resort line. Marc Jacobs handbag designs are also very casual and at the same time have refreshing colors and have a decidedly new concept of a look of a smaller bag in a bigger one.
