Looking for a new bag? Because the brand-name bag we just spotted is truly breathtaking, and it would honestly be criminal to leave any still in stock!
We were in awe when we first spotted The Box Leather Crossbody Bag by Marc Jacobs, but that awe turned into unbridled excitement almost immediately. Not only is it Marc Jacobs, but it comes in so many stunning colors!

This bag is super sleek and excellent for everyday use. We can fit all of our essentials inside, plus a few extras, and it won’t weigh us down the way many large totes or backpacks often do. The luxe leather material is a dream, and we love the versatility offered by the removable, adjustable strap!
Designer bags like this one can sometimes be seen as an unnecessary luxury, but the fact of the matter is there are so many pros when it comes to owning a nice one. First of all, it’s the best way to know that we’re getting a high-quality piece made with durable, premium materials that look and feel upscale. This way, we know that after a few weeks, we won’t start to see things like fading, fabric tears or even broken straps!
Even if after years and years we damage our bag somehow, it doesn’t mean we need to toss it and buy a new one. Because the construction of designer bags is top-notch in the first place, they’re much easier to repair! This makes the investment (which is way lower than usual in this case) worth it a thousand times over!

Designer bags are also a handy conversation starter. Just think about it — when we see someone else wearing an accessory or other piece from a designer we love, we often want to compliment them and ask where they got it. This increases even further if we manage to get a piece from a limited run!
A name-brand bag like this one is also the easiest way to spruce up an otherwise simple outfit, like a white T-shirt, jeans and sneakers, for example. Even if we swap the jeans for leggings and the T-shirt for a hoodie, if we have this bag on our shoulder or in our hand, we’re suddenly making a fashion statement. Just like that!
We even consider owning a nice bag like this a form of self-care for many. Investing in a bag is like investing in ourselves, showing ourselves that our hard work has paid off and we’re worth more than cheap materials and sketchy retailers. Ready to invest in yourself? Because this bag is waiting!
