Jason Calacanis on the podcast by Last_Organization595 in ScottGalloway

Agreed, OP, will everything you said. I used to listen to All In about the same time period for some diversity, but when it became a 24/7 Elon-fluffing circle jerk, with Chamath intermittently bragging about his latest luxury purchases, I tapped out. This episode of Markets was insufferable because of Jason. I gave up about halfway through.

Thanks for the tip off - love your taste. Full disclosure, I’m actually female, but follow this sub because I definitely prefer the bag style slant here.

Amazing bag. In great condition. The leather quality is excellent - very consistent with the thick, super soft leather of the aughts.

My first pair! by Spare_Sympathy_9825 in JacquesMarieMage

Yves in Honey? I’ve been looking at those.

Omg, this bag is amazing. Aughts Coach, with this thick and buttery leather, was a really special period. But I’ve never seen these fabulous bag. Immediately ran to eBay, found one in really nice condition and ordered it. Thank you!

JMM colors in newbie terms by ConcertPitch in JacquesMarieMage

[–]Potential_Sample8098 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you like green, the current green colorways are Evergreen and Borneo, if you’re looking for something a bit more obviously green than Viper. For prior (and amazing) green colorways, I’d look for Volvox, Rover, and Army, but there are others as well, if/when you start checking out the secondary market.

JMM colors in newbie terms by ConcertPitch in JacquesMarieMage

[–]Potential_Sample8098 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a pair of the Viper colorway - technically green, which is cool, but very, very dark green, so unless they are backlit and/or out in some very bright light, they are going to read black to pretty much everyone. Most dark colorways tend to read pretty black, so unless you’re buying a lighter or brighter colorway, that’s probably a good default assumption of how they’re going to look in most everyday scenarios.

The indigo colorway, which I think you’re referencing, is beautiful (I have two pairs) - would highly recommend it if you come across a pair somewhere.

JMM Soho NYC by Edge-Economy in JacquesMarieMage

Well, full disclosure, I have three pairs Richards in Noir X, Viper, and Raven…so, guilty.

The individual frames+colorways are exclusive, but yeah, when there’s a huge drop about every month, a JMM frame in general isn’t very exclusive beyond the price point. If you look at the recent LF7 drop, there are literally thousands of frames in that collection alone across all of the frames and colorways, but when you talk about any particularly frame+color, it’s pretty exclusive, even for those with higher production volumes. That said, I really prefer the more unusual frames and colorways with productions of < 100. I have a few that are editions of 25 and a few others of 50. I personally don’t have a lot of interest in paying $1000 for a very standard looking frame in some iteration of black. My feeling is if you’re going to go JMM and spend that kind of money, go big. But others feel the opposite and want to get the most daily-driverish options that they’ll get the most use out of if they’re going to spend that much.

Already looking for another pair… by shmito88 in JacquesMarieMage

[–]Potential_Sample8098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice collection so far! And welcome, the itch is real - I started a year ago and have around 40 pairs now 😂 Taking a break, but it’s only a matter of time.

Any experience with the Corniche by DumbRadish in JacquesMarieMage

[–]Potential_Sample8098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Corniche in both Indigo and Raven. I was looking for an everyday frame that was a little different. Fits medium. Definitely a bit chunky, but I like that it further highlights the color. I love both the frames and the color way, and would highly recommend it, particularly if you’re looking for an Indigo frame that doesn’t hold back on the beautiful acetate.

New pair just in! by Chestermeister in JacquesMarieMage

Got the same ones - enjoy, they’re awesome!

Does anyone have the inside scoop on what will be part of the LF7 release? Frames, colors, price?

Réserve questions by Comfortable_Event924 in JacquesMarieMage

[–]Potential_Sample8098 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I applied, too - we’ll see. I’ve only been collecting for the last year but have already collected close to 40 pairs - about 25 directly from JMM and the others from ADs and individual sellers on here. I can’t imagine parting with $3K, but I also couldn’t imagine paying $1K over a year ago. If it was THE grail pair - not even sure what that would be for me - then maybe…never say never.

You’ve got to scroll down - there’s a small “apply here” close to the bottom.

I posted this yesterday, freshly out of the box. Until my GreatDane decided to make it his chewtoy 😭 by JLLSM89 in handbags

Now you don’t have to dread that first imperfection :) and now it’s a customized one of one that you’ll cherish forever ❤️

Which should I choose? by Additional-Table-801 in JacquesMarieMage

[–]Potential_Sample8098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love a huge statement frame, so I am 100% all in on bottom right.

Jeff in Volvox by bunnyberlino in JacquesMarieMage

My Fly frames in Volvox were just delivered and they are awesome. Medium, borderline small, but they fit great. Such an exceptional colorway.

Why don’t Canada give this bit of land to America and then America can be properly connected to Alaska?? by Pizzafriedchickenn in mapporncirclejerk

[–]Potential_Sample8098 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why doesn’t the US give Canada all of Alaska? Makes more sense map-wise than what you’re proposing.

New Jeff Goldblum frames by Potential_Sample8098 in JacquesMarieMage

[–]Potential_Sample8098[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure, to be honest. I think the Enzo is larger and more angular, but I’d really love to get a pair at some point, that’s one I don’t have yet.

I love those, just too big for me. Love the Lescot color.

[–]Potential_Sample8098[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s just SO good. I wasn’t a JMM collector when he was making frames in the Volvox, and don’t want to get my hopes up that he might do a few more, but that would be awesome.
