Customer Reviews Marc by Marc Jacobs Preppy Nylon Natasha

I have searched for a nice, black crossbody bag for over a year. While I typically don't look at designer brands, I gravitated to this bag because it was everything I was looking for. Lightweight, quality fabric & construction, cute, full of pockets, lightweight and comfortable. I have since bought the same bag in hunter green leather version.

What a great crossbody for my upcoming trip abroad. It fits my iPod, and a wallet, perhaps even a little sweater. The material is PVC so it's easily cleaned. I wanted the black, but it was sold out, so I opted for this aluminum color and I'm extremely pleased with it. It's not too flashy. A no nonsense bag that is lightweight and won't wear me down as I'm traveling from country to country. it's worth the expense, even if not traveling. A true urban must-have.

I bought this bag a long time ago in black and my daughter gave me the mini version in red. They have always been favorites. I am reviewing it now because I just spent three weeks on an urban walking trip in Paris and this was the one purse that I chose to bring. I did not want to carry a backpack and have to check it at every museum. This bag did not let me down. Many places in Paris, such as the Metro and the museums, warn about pickpockets, so the huge zipper compartment accessed from the flap of this bag is the perfect place to stash valuables that no one can get to. It is not big enough to drag you down when you are out doing serious walking, but it is just big enough to hold all the stuff you need (wallet, sunglasses, phone, small camera, maps, sunblock, lip gloss, keys, small purchases, etc.) and still have room to stuff a small sweater or shawl. The compartments keep everything organized and handy without creating confusion. I got caught in heavy rain and the purse dried nicely. It wipes clean easily and I am thinking about washing it, but I have not tried that yet. It still looks good, even after the thrashing it got on this vacation.

Really enjoying this bag. I use it as an everyday shoulder bag which may be a little long for some people but is fine with me. The purse's shape & size make it easy to carry, yet you can fit a lot in (flip phone, keys, small wallet, checkbook, Kindle, hardshell glass case, sunglasses, small hairbrush, pocket Kleenex, and other odds & ends). The purse stands up when placed on the table & floor. Really like the lighter weight of a nylon bag (vs. leather), and the lining is a pretty muted violet. Have only used it for a couple of weeks but so far it has not slipped off my shoulder and seems like a well-made bag.

The bag is lightweight and stylish. This bag is cheaper here on Zappos compared to in the stores; there is a saving here. The bag has a lot of room and it goes with anything.

Cute bag, but I ended up returning it. I am 5'10" and even on the longest setting, the strap hit me at a weird point - not quite long enough. Overall, was very happy with the organizational features of the handbag. Material would be easy to clean, it's very lightweight, and I was drawn to the hardware details. I guess I wasn't paying attention to the description because I was very pleasantly surprised to realize the zipper on the fold-over is functional and opens up a pocket all the way down the flap and back of the purse. Plenty of room for wallet, phone, water bottle and small cosmetic, etc.

Love this bag! The color is slightly darker than in the picture, but the material is nice (easy to take care of) and the strap is the perfect length for carrying around easily. I am happy with my purchase!

This purse is cute and holds more than you think - but after 2 months of use the stitching on the handle frayed so badly that I was unable to continue using it. No idea why this happened as I didn't subject the purse to any unusual stress - just daily wear, carrying it around. I'm terribly disappointed that an item at this price would be made with such low quality and will never order this brand again.

I am positively in love with this bag. I have been lusting after it for years and finally purchased it for upcoming travel purposes and it is literally perfect. It is spacious, but not too large. It is VERY lightweight (which is of the utmost importance when traveling) and it is incredibly stylish. I am very picky about the accents on accessories I buy, and the gold accents on this bag blend so beautifully with the cement color, I couldn't possibly complain. Overall this bag is very versatile and functional and I cannot wait for my vacation so I can use it!

Perfect for the Pacific NW and for travel everywhere! It's stylish but practical with a high quality fabric to handle the rain and lots of space for an umbrella, an extra sweater, iPad, smartphone, book, glasses, cosmetics, wallet, just anything you like to carry. Did I mention cute and fashionable? It's got it all.

Love it! I have a toddler and always hate carrying my big diaper bag, so I purchased this to carry my stuff plus a diaper and wipes. It is the perfect size plus it is a great bag to have! Classic and great for traveling too! I wish I could afford all colors! I have the black and really like it!

Love this purse! Perfect size, nice compartments. I originally wanted the leather one because of the color options (also twice the price) but I'm thrilled with the quality of this one and it's easy clean. The little tag can be easily removed.

Love this bag. I was surprised at how much it holds for a smaller bag. I love the deep pocket on the front flap. Have received many compliments on the style. Very pleased.

While I absolutely love this bag - great size and goes with everything - I'm extremely disappointed with the durability. After maybe 4 months, the strap began to fray and it is now basically unwearable. For the price, I would expect much better quality. Very disappointing.

I wanted to love this bag but the strap has started to breakdown and come apart after only six months! I only use this bag on the weekends, too. I was very disappointed in the quality for such an expensive little bag.

I really like the weight of this bag but for the price, the quality is poor. I just received this bag and noticed the chip on the "pleather" material. I love the style of this purse and the weight is perfect for traveling; however, the poor quality is something I can't let go. I love Zappos and their speeding shipping but I think I will stick to ordering shoes with them and not purses...will be returning this.

This casual bag is great for daily use or travel. It is a good size, not too big and not too small, enough room for all my essentials, and like other reviewers, I can toss in a shawl or scarf in the evening in case I need it.

Perfect size. Not too small and not too big that it hurts my shoulder. I can fit my wallet, keys, cell phone, bulky sunglass case, work badge and reusable grocery bag in this while still using the compartments for small things like lip gloss and hand sanitizer. No need for anything bigger. Its also lighter weight than leather which is a benefit for me.

Love this bag, it's very nice looking and durable. I can be hard on my bags....so far (approx 6 wks) it stills look a brand new.

Great bag! Quite a bit smaller than I expected, given some of the reviews, but a nice size nonetheless. The fabric is a nice quality and the strap provides good length options for either cross body or shoulder. I don't understand why they attach a big and useless luggage tag on the front, but it removes easily. Very pleased!

I've had this bag for a year and a half now, and it's holding up brilliantly! I have the navy striped/orange polka dotted design, and I've received many compliments on it. My previous cross-body bag weighed me down and hurt my back and shoulders, but this bag is super light and easy to grab and put on. The zippered compartment in the front is perfect to put valuables/hygiene products. I took off the ID tag and put it on my luggage case instead. The capacity of the bag is also perfect--you can put a lot in, although it gets heavy and the narrow straps tend to cut down into your shoulders. I know I'll use this bag for years. I'm so glad I got this bag, and on sale too!

This is the best everyday and travel bag ever. The beauty of this bag for travel is the gold finishing on the black - it dresses it up just enough to use it when you are going out for dinner. You don't have to switch bags and look shulumpy! It also holds a lot and doesn't look bulky. I just returned from London where I used it every day and didn't have to bring an evening bag.

I absolutely LOVE this bag. The picture currently online is a dark grey, but the item is black (per the color selection/drop-down). I was fine receiving either color! There are three large pockets - the flip up zipped pocket, another main pocket, and the front (open) pocket. I can fit my (large) wallet, two cell phones, and makeup in the main pocket. I'm sure it will be a handy bag for everyday! I love the nylon - easy to wipe off.

I got this bag because I was having shoulder pain and could no longer carry a shoulder bag comfortably. It is a great little bag that holds a lot of stuff and is light to carry. It has 2 big compartments (along with a small zipper one) and expands to a comfortable depth. The cross body style has been great for me and is roomy enough to carry everyday. I highly recommend this bag.

I love this bag! Fits my iPad and everything else! The strap could be a little longer, but that's a very minor flaw! I'd buy it again.
