Marc by Marc Jacobs Sophie
Walking past Marc by Marc Jacobs today at Ngee Ann City I spotted this sitting in the window display: the Marc by Marc Jacobs Sophie (SGD890). Looking like MJ’s answer to the PS1 and the Alexa, I am glad the similarities ended at first glance. Staring at it for a good five minutes, I noticed the subtle differences.
Firstly, it is rounded around the bottom, a nice curve that gives it a really cute butt profile. The top handle is also adjustable, meaning you can either make it short to hand carry it, or longer to tote it over the shoulder. What I like most is the long adjustable tri-coloured strap, a nice touch to an already interesting bag.
Measuring almost 32 cm across, it’s a satchel that’s worth a second look for F/W10. Check it out in Black and other colours at either Mandarin Gallery (the flagship) or Ngee Ann City.

Thanks Xan, but I’m not super thrilled on the shape. Just looks too generic to me.
looks suitable as a travelling sling bag!
I ordered this bag in dark forrest color and waiting to receive it. I think it’s really cute and the 2 way is nice, too.
LOVE!!!!!! and it’s not too girly, unlike alot of their stuff. hmmmm *checks bank account*
SGD890. That’s all you need to bring this baby home!
This is really cute. I love the gold hardware!
I love this and I think it’s such good value. I like the one in butter/bronzy brown. But I’m seriously wondering why the longer strap can’t be leather like the rest of it?
They’re probably trying to fit in with the rest of their collection, which has similar canvas straps. My suggestion is for them to have a leather option in a matching single-tone.
I think the striped canvas strap does add a nice contrast to the leather bag. Nevertheless I do understand where you’re coming from.
