Hating on Marc Jacobs' Merkin

  

Just in case you are unaware of who he is, Marc Jacobs is a world-renowned fashion designer best known for his thrift-store chic aesthetic. Basically he remakes something he finds at a Salvation Army which he transforms from polyblend to cashmere and sells it at high-end stores globally with a 800% markup.

For example, remember the cashmere thermal that Winona Ryder shoplifted from Saks? That was a Marc Jacobs.

Seeing this picture of him on Details.com, I felt something that I rarely feel and begrudgingly admit. I'm jealous.

He has a non-traditionally adorable dog (non-traditional because pitbulls are known to kill people) and he is carrying a non-traditional merkin (aka Birkin for those still in the dark) loud and proud. I want both of those things and it's unlikely I will procure either of those things in the following week or months. Nor will I be brave enough to carry that kind of bag.

Fine, the bag isn't necessarily me, but I think it would be funny to use a $5,000 bag to carry the plastic bags to pick up my dog's poop. I love irony.

And he looks amazing for his age. If you can't love it, hate on it. God bless blogging on a site no one reads.

YES
It's okay to be jealous of others. You're human get over it.

NO
It's not okay to steal or kill someone to get the things they have. Hate to be the morality police but both of those things are illegal especially if you're not caucasian.

MAYBE
There's a site where you can borrow both the dog and bag together...pants not included. Wait there are sites that do that. But you have to move to Japan. Ugh! Tokyo has all the fun crazy stuff.
