Overview
An authentic Marc by Marc Jacobs zip-around continental wallet crafted in soft, pebbled greyish-taupe leather. It features the signature enameled brass-tone 'Standard Supply Workwear' hardware plaque on the front and opens to a black leather interior with an ID window, multiple card slots, and an interior zippered coin compartment.
Story
Launched during the height of the 2000s 'It Bag' era, this plaque design playfully mimicked industrial supply tags. Marc Jacobs created the diffusion line to make high fashion accessible, edgy, and everyday-tough.
Maker / Origin
Marc Jacobs launched his diffusion line, 'Marc by Marc Jacobs', in 2001, defining contemporary indie-sleaze and downtown chic fashion throughout the 2000s. The line became immensely popular for its durable leather goods before being absorbed back into the main brand in 2015.
Condition & Value
Fair to good pre-owned condition. The exterior leather shows gentle creasing and minor edge wear; the interior is clean. The front brass metal plaque shows moderate scratching and finish loss, which moderates the value.
