This rare hot pink leather Totally Turnlock Key Coin Pouch from Marc by Marc Jacobs is a gem, both in condition and color. The pink is a rich pink with blue undertones, that perfectly matches the Percy Crossbody in the same shade. It is lined in the highly desired signature black-and-white "mixed alphabet logo" print. Definitely a collector's piece.
While his Marc Jacobs label is still going strong turning out coveted handbags, the Marc by Marc Jacobs diffusion line created in 2001 was discontinued in March 2015, making existing pieces rarer and more valuable. Marc's Totally Turnlock Collection features soft leathers in fabulous fun colors.
It is hard to say which is more beautiful on a Marc Jacobs handbag—the leather, or the hardware. If you are Team Hardware, you will appreciate this small but mighty piece that packs a bold punch. It features the original branded signed key fob, zipper pull, and turnlock hardware. Note: the curved lines, symmetry, and pair of rivets are the very same on handbags and larger leather pieces from this collection where the turnlock is functional; here the turnlock is a decorative accent and definite wow factor.
MSRP for this piece was $98.00 USD.
A note about this product description: it is 100% original, written and researched by me, not AI. I am an enthusiastic collector of Marc Jacobs bags and accessories from this era, circa 2001-2015, and as a fashion designer myself, I love to delve into his design details.
