Marc Jacobs Safety Pin Stam – 2012

04.09.12 / Uncategorized / Author:

Just when we all thought that Marc Jacobs couldn’t possibly find something new to do with the Stam, we all get proven wrong.Let’s look back for a moment:we’ve seen Stams in python, jersey, patent, Swarovski crystals, leather both flat and quilted, and ostrich.We’ve seen both gold 80s chains and demure silver box chains.Baby Stams, big Stams, hobo Stams and east/west Stams.Crap, at this point, there might as well be green eggs and Stams.

And now we’ve seen it all, because we’ve seen the Marc Jacobs Safety Pin Stam.I’m a bit biased since I do own one of the original black quilted bags, admittedly, and I’m forever an MJ apologist? but this makes even me want to say “ENOUGH ALREADY.” I don’t even think it’s a bad bag.I kind of like the idea of safety pins, since I was one of those punk kids in high school that pinned band patches to her floppy corduroy bag.It brings me back a little bit, and I love nothing more than a punk or industrial reference.And we’ve got some interesting and subtle patching going on here, and a cool, different chain.But ENOUGH.Give it a rest, Marc.Maybe just stick to the original for a season or two.Because we get it.Stams are awesome.But if you keep making new ones, eventually some poor, misguided soul is going to be buying a Stam made of lint and old chewing gum.Buy through Nordstrom for $1375.
