Overview
A classic taupe pebbled leather continental zip-around wallet featuring the iconic brass 'Standard Supply Model # Work Wear' logo plaque. This utilitarian-inspired design was a staple of the influential Marc by Marc Jacobs diffusion line. It opens to reveal a black leather interior equipped with multiple card slots, an ID window, and a zippered coin compartment.
Story
Debuting in the 2000s, this workwear-plaque wallet defined indie-sleaze and contemporary fashion culture before the label was retired in 2015.
Maker / Origin
American designer Marc Jacobs launched the Marc by Marc Jacobs diffusion line in 2001 to offer accessible, downtown-cool aesthetics to a wider audience. The line gained a cult following worldwide for its quirky hardware, rich leathers, and playful nods to industrial utility. The diffusion label was formally discontinued in 2015 when it was folded back into the main Marc Jacobs brand.
Condition & Value
Fair to good pre-owned condition. Notable surface scratching and finish wear across the front brass logo plaque, minor tarnishing on zipper pulls, and gentle softening of the leather consistent with use.
