Today's video is all about the ever-popular Marc Jacobs Snapshot.
Hi guys! Welcome back to Escala Manila. For those of you who are new here,
my name is Erika, and I do weekly videos on luxury and travel.
Today's video is all about the Marc Jacobs
Snapshot, and I picked up this bag a little over a year ago. I
wanted to add a bag that was fun to my summer wardrobe
collection. So
recently I also picked up this one. This is the Marc Jacobs Softshot in size
21. And ever since I've posted it on my
Instagram I have been getting loads of questions about how it compares to my
previous Snapshot.
So in this video I will go through a comparison of the two. I'll give you some insight into
the differences between the two bags, what fits inside each and some mod shots for you guys.
Before I begin comparing the two bags for you guys let me just tell you
why I bought each bag because
I think that will also factor in to your buying decision.
Because these bags I feel are very, very different from each other even though they are the same
sort of shape and structure.
So I bought this bag as a
really, really fun bag to add to my summer wardrobe and I think that this really did the job very well, it
added
just the right amount of color, and I really, really like the way that this bag looks in terms of
using it for like a night out with friends or a date night. And
what really sold me on the bag is the straps that it comes with, it comes with a single strap but you can also buy
separately other straps and then this allows you to change up the look of your bag instantly.
So the one I got is in pink, obviously (laughs),
but it is in different colors. At the top it's got a taupe color, at the back it is fuchsia pink and then at
the bottom it is a deep burgundy wine color and then the tassel pulls are in fuchsia pink as well.
This one, is in a
sort of laminated leather, it's very similar to the Prada saffiano leather, and this makes the bag quite stiff.
When I bought this bag I knew that I was not buying the most practical of bags but that
was okay with me, like, I knew I just wanted a bag that was really fun and something that would just update my wardrobe
without me having to go out and buy a whole new set of
clothes. And let me just show you the inside of this...
As you can see it doesn't open very wide.
It's box shape does allow you to put a little bit more than other small bags, but the space is still very, very
limited.
This is the Marc Jacobs Softshot, its size 21. It also comes in size 27
which is a little bit taller but I thought the 21 would be perfect for a regular work day
where I didn't need to carry a lot of stuff-- like, if I wasn't carrying my laptop to work or
other big notebooks, then I thought this bag would be
pretty perfect. So I thought of this bag more as a work bag
than as a party bag, which is why these two
bags are really not similar in terms of the way that you would use it. And
you can see the Softshot does come in more muted colors.
This one is called cement grey. At the bottom, it is plain black and then
to the backside is also the same grey color and then
also the leather is not quite as shiny as
the Snapshot one. So it is just a regular pebbled leather and
I really, really like the strap that came with this bag. Although
I find it a bit long on me but it does come with a strap that is just all leather and then some
D-rings right here and then it attaches to the bag. The difference with this strap and this strap is
obviously there's a huge size difference in terms of the width and this one the leather one is not
adjustable unlike the canvas one, you can adjust it according to your height or your
length preference.
Okay, that being said I still will go through my usual comparison of how I compare my bags to each other. In this
part, I will go through the size difference and what can fit inside of each. So for this Snapshot it only comes in one size--
It is seven inches across by four inches in height and then to the side it is two inches right here.
For the Softshot I only have the size twenty-one, like I said there's is a bigger size
which is the 27 but I decided to go with the smaller one because I do like my bags relatively light. And this
across here is eight inches by five inches in height and
three inches in depth right there.
Let me open it up for you guys.
Oh, yeah so the zippers are really cute -- they go in opposite directions which I thought
was really, really cute and whimsical.
So right now it's empty,
on the back side there is a back pocket right here. You can see I am having a hard time trying to open up
the bag very wide for you guys so you can see just how stiff this material is.
So with this bag I don't usually use a cosmetic case,
I just put everything inside right away. And let me start first with my largest object
which is my iPhone 7 plus so as long as I have this phone with me
I think I'm pretty much good to go. I think that's the case with a lot of people nowadays! (laughs)
So the phone fits quite nicely
into the back pocket right here, this is the largest size iPhone that there is. And then
let me put in my
credit card so I have my RFID
cascading card holder.
It puts all of my cards right there. These are the things that I usually will bring with me.
Put it in there and those two fit quite nicely. And I think the back pocket is
completely full. For the front pocket what I usually put is a lipstick,
so this is the M.A.C kinda sexy. It
does fit standing up straight and
then I have my car keys,
this is my Mazda CX-3
car keys. Right now it does have a big key holder on it, I will usually take that off if I'm using this bag because
it doesn't fit very well. So before I put those in
let me put in my house keys and this is my Hugo Boss key holder.
So, I have all of my house keys and my office keys inside here and
let me just try to put that in there.
Once I put my house keys in it's almost completely full so if you can just leave your house keys
in the car-- in the glove compartment
which is sometimes what I do when I go out. And then let me put my car keys in there--
And yeah that's about all that will fit.
Sooo....
yeah, it's a very, very tight bag if you wanted to put maybe a ball pen or something you could put a ball pen and
I have tissue as well so let me see if the tissue will fit.
No maybe not, I don't think it will fit because...
like you won't be able to close the bag anymore.
So if you didn't have such bulky keys you could definitely bring a pack of tissues or other
toiletry items with you.
So anyways that is it for this bag, that's how it looks once it's closed off.
You can see it doesn't actually
bulge at any portion which is why I like this stiff sort of leather.
And that's one of the reasons why I really, really like this bag as well. So let me put on the straps for you guys--
oh,
just to mention the straps are really, really heavy. So this is not a bag that is
very lightweight, it is actually quite heavy heavy duty, everything, and--
Yeah, that's how it looks once it's full.
Okay, so I've switched to the bigger Softshot right now and like I said I wanted this bag specifically
for work and I think this is a good work bag. It can contain quite a bit more because
the leather is also very soft so this opens a lot wider than the Snapshot and
you can see it does have two pockets. So one at the back, and then one in front. It
also has a back pocket that is actually usable
which you could probably stick in a card or something. I did try my iPhone, it doesn't fit at all.
Anyways let's quickly add in my iPhone 7 plus again and then let me get my wallet.
So this is the full-size wallet. It's a Michael Kors Jet Set wallet. It contains all of my
membership cards that I have,
it contains some cash,
the bills do lie flat right here, and
then it
has a top part which I put my driver's license and cards that don't fit down here. At
the back part it does also have a zippered compartment
which is usually where I put coins or I will put my cascading card holder into there and zip it up.
So I really, really like this wallet. It contains everything I need but it's still very slim. And
this wallet does actually-- yeah it fits, so it fits exactly into the bag and
usually I am good to go as long as I have my phone and my wallet. So that's pretty good.
I also have my key holder again, I will put that in the back and
then my car keys of course, I will also
put here at the back. Next thing I have is a ball pen which
I usually bring with me on a work day and then I have my earphones, and then I have some tissue as well,
which I will put in front. And you can see the bag
will bulge a little bit, I mean it does give way, so if you do fill it up it will
sort of just mold to the items on the inside. So you could pack this quite full--
definitely a lot more full than the Marc Jacobs
Snapshot.
Next item I have is a small notebook. This is from Moleskin and I will put that also in
front. Okay, so it is bulging a little bit now. You can see that I have my wallet, tissue and my notebook right there.
That's about all that would fit and
then I have my sunglasses.
I am
looking for the case, somebody did mention
why I don't put my sunglasses in a case (laugh). I should look for the case for this. And
it fits quite nicely on the top part so I will just close off this one and
then for the backside, oh yeah I should also bring a lipstick,
I usually bring a lipstick and a hand lotion and that both will still fit into the back side of this bag.
So
let me put on the straps.
So that's how it looks, I didn't make it bulging full but it is bulging a little bit here in front and
you can see that it's not quite as structured as the Snapshot bag.
But it's okay
because it still looks really good and I like the
double J logo. I think this makes it look very, very classy.
Moving on to my most popular section
which is the mod shots. Let me show you guys how this Marc Jacobs snapshot bag look on me and
for height reference I am 5'4".
Right now I have the strap on
almost the shortest length. So the first way that you can wear this bag is as a cross
body sort of belt bag. And I've seen a lot of
influencers wear it this way, and I think this is reall,y really cute
especially if you're not into the belt bag trend like me. I
prefer to wear my bags this way which is sort of trendy still but not as like
crazy as the belt bag (trend).
Anyways this is very, very comfortable especially
since it can get heavy if you have a lot of stuff on the inside.
So the next way that you can wear this is regular crossbody. So let me just make this a little bit longer. You
can wear this as a regular crossbody bag and
like I was saying before the reason why I bought this bag is because of the strap and you can see that now.
My shirt is really plain and most of my wardrobe is really solid color
so I really, really like the fact that these straps are very colorful and they come in
a multitude of designs so it really, really dresses up your outfit without me having to go out and buy a
completely new wardrobe.
And yeah how cute is this as well, like the tassels are adorable aren't they?
Okay, and then the last way you could wear this bag is as a shoulder bag like that but I must warn you the
straps are really, really wide and they tend to fall off your shoulder especially if you have small
shoulders like me.
So that's how it looks as a shoulder bag. The next bag that I have is the Marc Jacobs
Snapshot in size 21 and I only wear this bag
crossbody. Well I haven't used it yet but I'm sure that I will only use this as
a crossbody bag because I find the length of the strap quite long on me. And you can
definitely change out the strap but I haven't found a strap yet for this guy.
And yeah, that's how it looks. My waist is right here, so it does fall a little below the waist. I think this is actually
quite comfortable for most people because people do like their bags a
little bit sitting below the waist while I like mine a little bit higher than most people.
Anyways, that is how it looks crossbody --cute tassels as well -- and then
let me show you on the shoulder. So right now if I am sitting it on the shoulder this strap is
actually more comfortable than the canvas strap because it is shorter in length, it's not as wide.
So that's how it looks on my shoulder.
Hope you guys can't see that.
Anyways, I think that is about it for this week's video,
let me show you guys how both bags look on me in terms of height difference, in terms of size difference.
So this is the Snapshot and this is the Softshot.
