I’ve had the canvas version and have been looking at the leather. Now I’m certain I want one. It’s such a useful design. The small and medium sizes are my favorite 🎉
I asked for the tote bag a month ago on his shorts! I'm so glad he did it! The first time I ever saw "the tote bag" was when my friend got the black canvas one for her graduation and I loved how spacious it was, but I didn't like that it was canvas, as I felt it wasn't my preferred material, when they came out with the leather one I was still very iffy until my job had one and I actually got to feel the texture of it and the leather was very soft. I fell in love with it and bought it while it was on sale. I will say, my friends black canvas one has faded horribly, it looks like it was sprayed with bleach on some areas, especially the top and handle. I guess that just how it wears out?
I have this bag and i love it. It could hold 3 kg + easily over several times without losing shape, look bulky etc. I do have a little foam in the bottom to protect it from sagging and thats it. Ive used mine almost 5 months and it almost look like new. I have conditioned it and do not put it into the ground in general. It only has light cornerwear that is almost not visible and the handles look new even when i have full loaded the bag and rubbed it in the crock of my arm several times. I have more expensive luxury items from lv and dior that has given me headache with returns etc. This totebag i reach for minimum 3-4 days a week. I like it.
Yay! Happy to know this went well, whew! 😅 I have 3 of these. Since watching your content, I've had a bit of anxiety on whether my bags are of good quality or not. Lol. 😊
Thanks for reviewing Marc Jacobs Tote Bag! Good to know the coating is likely easy to care for. The one I bought did say it is full-grain leather. Amazing price for a versatile bag!
I have two of the bags, I have them in the medium size, that is my favorite, and they are in leather. One is a beige and the other one is black. I have had them for three years now and they are in perfect condition. I travel a lot, and I have traveled with them all across Europe and America and they are still perfect. I put them on the floor, on dirty tables, plane floors and I travel very heavy too, and I just over packed them and they continue to be perfect. Right now the lightest one, has some tear in the corner and also in the handles, but I don’t mind because I have wear it through the rain and in the sun, so for what I have put the bag through it is in pristine condition in my opinion, I also have noticed some tear and wear in the hardware as well but it’s unnoticeable unless you look for it. Besides the smell of the leather, I love the softness of it and I love also the quality of them. I bought them for $400 and for what I have got out of them it is so worth it because I use them almost every single day and I have had them for at least three years or more so in my opinion is a really good investment and you get what you pay for and more.
I freaking love these bags! I have one medium black one, which is my favourite day-to-day bag, also perfect for traveling. And I own a mini argan oil one, which I also adore. I also had a mini white cotton/silver one, but returned it, and they refunded me my money super quick. Love this brand!
I have the leather tote by MJ, and inside it has a tag that says full grain leather. I'm not sure if this size is different because i don't see the pocket that comes in the size above this. This is micro. Mine is mini. I would love to see you do a Bvlgari Serpenti bag. They actually plate their hardware with real gold and use gems for the eyes. Would love to know more about they leather! They seem to only do smooth calfskin or exotic leathers.
Just want to say appreciate the better video quality, lighting and editing. The close up shots could be better (a bit more steady) but overall, I find the changes have made the viewing experience more pleasurable. I have watched every vid on your channel, can't get enough. Keep it up!
@Tanner Leatherstein letheroligy, porthland learher goods, yours, I want a 20 inch at the base or wider with an 11 inch strap drop, minimal to zero hardware, feels like a pipe dream. If a company makes a tote I look at it. I have one from s works Chinese brand I like it.
I own the candy pink micro tote and after 2 weeks of use, the bottom corners are faded (looked like worn down), visible color transfer on the side where it’s against my clothing. I love the bag for the size and price but if I used it for everyday I don’t think it’s going to last long on my opinion.
Thank you for this video! I have a couple of years Tote bag in canvas - I love it. And after this video, I decide to buy a micro leather bag. Thank you!
I am curious what your opinion would be on their shiny crinkle leather. It's a bit more expensive compared to their pebbled leather but looks less durable.
First time watching your video and just subscribed. I literally just purchased this exact same bag same size same color last night 😅 can’t wait to watch more of your videos but scared at the same time about what you said about my other higher end designer bags 😅😅😅
Can you make this type of bag available on your website? I love the shape and sturdiness but HATE the words on it. I want a leather one so bad but can’t get over the lettering. And would it be possible to make the handles go on a ring instead of being stuck on the bag? That way when they wear out I could just take them off and replace with new ones.
Real leather or not the brands are advertised as luxury brand No matter how bad the quality is as long its a Brand, the resale value is still much more than a good quality unbranded leather bag. Thats just the reality.
The shoulder straps don't wrap around the bottom. The large type bag won't last for shit. After awhile it's going to sag. The Marc Jacob's tote is nice buy I don't like the large font on the bag
@@tanner.leatherstein I agree with you on the logo placement. For advertising the brand by carrying around one of these totes, the brand should be paying me.
Thanks for all you do for the leather/handbag community. What do you think of Coach’s new recycled leather line, Coachtopia? I heard it is made from bonded leather but they are not. very transparent about this. Would love a video on it!
@@tanner.leatherstein Thank you so much! Your leather expertise and judgement is greatly valued by the handbag community! An explanation of bonded leather would be great as well
I think maybe you should just anonymously order these bags, because if they know you’re going to review the bag they may send you a way better made 1 off version because they know you’re going to review it
Really wanted to ask...why the cut in the middle of the bag, yet still carefully cutting the stitches from the edges of the bag? As seen for like here 5:00 Don't get me wrong, I really love your video's. Just simply curious if there is any specific reason behind it 😊
It seems that taking the bag apart by the seams speaks to its construction - how well sewn it is. Cutting through the leather tests the leather itself & looks at the layers of material. That's my guess.
@@bumblebee4024 thank you so much for your explaination. I think that makes sense. Sorry it took me 3 years (weeks) to reply. I don't have notifications on 😅
yes thank you for a well made bag that does not break the bank. and thank you tanner leatherstein for your valuable inputs and perspective.
I enjoy so much watching this channel's content!! keep going Tanner!!
real independent honest reviews..watched all your shorts..can review mont blanc leather wallets?
Please do Tory Burch!

I work at Bloomingdale's and this bag flies off our shelf. Happy to know you gave it a good review m

I own a coupld of Marc jacobs's leather bag and wallet. I love their leather products. Also the design suits for daily use and is not so expensive.

I was thinking of buying this bag in medium size! Same colour .
For a mid luxury brand it's really not bad. I just don't know if I can get over the logo on it. I'm not really a logo fan, but that's a preference.

I love fossil bags. Please do a review on them! Thanks so much. I love your Channel!

Great review. Can you do furla and carvela please??
@@tanner.leatherstein thank you. Could you do a review on mulberry please?
i hope one day you will dissect , give your thoughts and honest opinion about a Hermes Birkin/kelly bag.

I have this bag in a mini. It's a heavy bag and I was considering the cloth version.
Can you please do Longchamp bags?

@@tanner.leatherstein thank you so much for your reply. I will take your advice and try it.

Marc Jacob never disappoints, im upset when he left Louis Vuitton in 2014 after 16 years there
thank you for this video. I am a big MJ fan and have several of his bags. This makes me very good about the price I have paid.
Love these videos !! Pls do Givenchy , Prada
Painful to see good bags destroyed 😢
Hey Tanner, love your videos! Please do one for Celine

Yes for this!
Maybe I should keep the one I have hmm
LOVE your videos!
Longchamp please. And braun buffel.
Please do Snapshot from Marc Jacobs.
Great video! I would love to know if this bag is heavy or comfortable to wear all day long
The mini and small sizes are good. Anything larger gets very heavy.
@@msbee4786 Thanks a lot!

Please reply. I’m serious. And how much would it be? I would love the small size one. In a beautiful chocolate leather color.
probably cant. marc jacobs more than likely patented it
Can you do Ralph Lauren or Zadig Et Voltaire bags please?
I have wanted to get the bucket bag from Marc jacobs but I'm nervous. Anyway you could do the bucket bag?
More Polene, please!

Please do michael kors jet set canvas.
Expensive Hobby ❤😂
My friend wants one
Is there a smell as you butcher Marc Jacobs ?
I no longer buy Marc Jacobs, because he uses imitation leather in some areas of the bags and they don't disclose that.
I think maybe you should just anonymously order these bags, because if they know you’re going to review the bag they may send you a way better made 1 off version because they know you’re going to review it
Love The look but I’d never buy a bag with “the tote bag” written on it. 😅 no
Really wanted to ask...why the cut in the middle of the bag, yet still carefully cutting the stitches from the edges of the bag?

@@tanner.leatherstein YOU TOO SPANISH TRNSLATION.PLEASE
Can you do toteme
It’ll be out of fashion soon 😅
First
I’d pay no more than $150 for that bag. Not worth any more than that.
The color is to loud. The purse looks cheap. I wouldn’t buy it at all even if I could find it discounted.
the fact that it says "the tote bag" is ugly as sin
I appreciate your work, but heaven sake is all that disrespect to the purse require to determine is it’s good leather or worth it? I feel so violated.
I was so upset with this fucking video. 😮 I love MJ but the way you cut the cut bag unrespecful
It’s just a bag, not a living thing. How is it unrespectful?
Please speed the video when you cut the leather. It’s a complete waste of my time. We want to hear and see your valuable feedback.
Please don't speed it. I learn a lot about the quality of bags from the way you dissect bags.
really appreciate what you do . Many thanks🫡
