Marc Jacobs Round Coin Purse Appraisal
Category: Accessory
Description
This item appears to be a small, round coin purse or small cosmetic bag made from a glossy red material, likely patent leather or a synthetic equivalent. The color is a vibrant, true red with a high-shine finish that reflects light. The shape is perfectly circular, with a gold-toned zipper that runs around approximately half of the circumference on the top edge. The zipper pull is a small, plain loop. The front of the purse features the embossed text "MARC JACOBS" in all capital letters, horizontally oriented, in the lower central area. The text is the same color as the purse itself and is slightly raised. There appears to be a small loop or attachment point near the zipper on one side, possibly for a wrist strap or to clip onto a larger bag. The stitching around the edge seems to be narrow and neat, indicating good craftsmanship. There are no visible signs of significant wear, damage, or patina in the provided image. The condition appears to be very good or excellent. The style is contemporary or modern due to the use of patent material and the prominent branding.
Appraisal Report
I have examined the provided image of this Marc Jacobs round coin purse. Visually, the item appears to be in excellent condition with no visible signs of wear, scratches, or damage. The red patent material is vibrant and high-shine, and the gold-toned hardware appears intact. The embossed "MARC JACOBS" branding is clear and consistent with typical branding from the designer. Based *solely* on the image, the quality of the stitching and hardware appears good, suggesting authenticity. However, I must stress that definitive authentication of luxury items cannot be performed from images alone. An in-person examination would allow me to assess the texture, feel, weight, smell of the material, and precise details of the hardware and interior labels (if any), which are critical for authentication. Provenance documentation, such as original purchase receipts, box, or dust bag, would also significantly aid in confirming authenticity. Regarding value, small designer accessories like coin purses from contemporary brands like Marc Jacobs tend to hold modest value on the secondary market compared to larger bags or limited editions. This particular style is relatively common. Demand exists for accessible designer pieces, but rarity is not a significant factor here. Market comparables for similar used Marc Jacobs patent leather coin purses in excellent condition typically range from $30 to $60, depending on the specific model and selling platform. The vibrant red color is appealing and may slightly enhance marketability. Based on the visual information and typical market trends for this type of item, the value is primarily driven by its brand name and apparent excellent condition.
