Jessica Stam is one lucky model. To have inspired Marc Jacobs, she has forever been immortalized in one of Marc Jacobs's best-known handbags, The Stam. Being a designer's muse certainly paid off for her and she joins an elite rank of personalities to have had trend-transcendant purses named after them. Although, not as high up the order as the Birkins and the Kellys of the fashion world, the Stam definitely is a handbag that has captured many a hearts including mine.
I know that the purse debuted long ago, back in '04 if I'm not mistaken, and MJ has reinvented the Stam multiple times over the years with offerings of different leather and slight updates but the original Stam still remains a firm favourite among fashion lovers.
What is there not to love about The Stam? The soft-to-touch quilted leather body, the oh-so-cute kiss-lock closure top, the frame top that ensures the bag does not slouch on you and the chunky gold chain shoulder strap and gold hardware that simply give off an air of class, all combine to make an outstanding handbag. It wows with its design as the purse is exterior-wise gorgeous, trendy and the embodiment of femininity but at the same time completely functional as it's roomy and the structure is sturdy. Certainly a plus for the fashionable gal who carries the office around with her.
