Marc Jacobs Special Items Shopping Loot!
Marc Jacobs has 2 amazing stores (Marc Jacobs and Marc By Marc Jacobs) in Mount Street London...and both stock the very elusive special items that gets you a real bargain! Of course when I am in the area, I had to make sure I do some 'bargain hunting'. Perhaps not ready to spend on the overpriced main line or even Marc By Marc Jacobs line...the special items are a good alternative pleasure to dig your hands into.
Marc's special items line are inexpensive, so all you need is the discerning eye to sift out real gems at rock bottom prices. The Marc Jacobs store has less selection, but in a higher quality designs. The Marc By Marc Jacobs store has an enormous range but some can be cheap and tacky. The joy of shopping there is to put your taste levels to the test and grab the best looking items at the best prices. It's a challenge but it's fun as well. I love bargain shopping!
For my 'bargain shopping spree', I picked up a Blue Croc Embossed Leather Long Wallet (£50) and a Resin Colour Block Bangle (£6) at Marc Jacobs store. Then 2 sets of key rings (£3 each) and coin purses (£9 each) in both gold quilted leopard and bronze python at the Marc By Marc Jacobs store steps away.
Total spend: £80. What a steal! Makes for great gifts:-P
(PS. the croc embossed leather long wallet comes in a variety of colours from yellow to amber browns to greys and whites. I had a hard time choosing. But settled for the blue as it has an amazing fuchsia and maroon colour interior. There are also bi-folds (£30) and a clutch/folio with removable shoulder chain at £132. Great for guys too if you do without the shoulder chain. As for the coin purses and key rings, they are also available in many colours and textures. But I love the leopard and bronze python. They look more expensive than they really are! So head down to Marc Jacobs, Mount Street if you are in London! My only regret is not getting more. And also those cheap £5 rings like what Bryanboy is wearing (first 2 on the left...dun they look great, I tried the first one..but sadly put it back...darn! You can afford to do impulsive buying in these circumstances:-)
Where to buy: Marc Jacobs and Marc By Marc Jacobs Boutique at Mount Street, London

Mount Street... any idea if its near Oxford or this is at the outlet at London (la ville or something)? Thanks!
Sorry forgot to ask if we can walk over on foot.
Btw, i was told the crime rate is high at Oxford area..... is this really true? do u guys split yr $ and hide them away too?
Hi Anonymous, as does travelling to any where in the world, you have to always be careful and aware in a new area:-) Street smarts is essential. And Oxford is okay. You dun have to take drastic measures for the money issue. Just always keep wallet close to u:-P and oxford street should be safe enough, at least better than in PAris Gare Du Nord train station.
ANd you can walk to mount street from Oxford. About 10 mins or less.
Use a map! good luck:-)
Kevin:-P
Hi Kevin
Oh..10mins. I am bad at maps. I cannot figure out how far or near a place is when i refer to map. But i am good at memorizing routes. Just cant wait to go on my first trip to London and Europe.
Just hope whatever restaurants or place i buy my foods from are delicious. hehe
Thanks!
