Editorial Review for Marc Jacobs – by Citysearch Editors

The Scene
You'll hardly notice the store, so unassuming in a two-story brick building with virtually no signage, save for little brass letters next to the front door. Black wood floors and standard garment racks along the store's perimeter are decidedly unflashy. But you may be clued in by the clientele that's passing through the door: Fashion editors and slick-haired lovelies pop in and out for Marc Jacobs' shoes and belts, plus must-have jeans.

The Goods
Nothing shouts "trendy" at Marc Jacobs, though you'll probably recognize quite a few of the pieces from the pages of fashion magazines. Understated retro--inspired by "Belle de Jour" or the early days of punk--is the name of the game, with round-toe heels and pointy flats the perfect finish. Cashmere long-john tops are demure but luxurious, and the selection of handbags, all with oversize hardware and buckles, look vintage when they're brand-new.

User Reviews for Marc Jacobs

I love Marc Jacobs although I won't spend $900 on one of his bags. I didn't purchase anything at this store but I love to look anyway because I think the man is a genius. The workmanship of the clothing is just phenominal. Even though I enjoy the "Marc" line better, his bridge line is worth observing.

Pros: Great quality, Beautiful designs, trendy

Cons: Expensive
