Well I could not wait for anyone to reply to me about these 2 bags, so I checked them out myself.
Kenneth Cole “Bottoms Up” bag was very disappointing...the leather was very thin, felt really cheap...I guess it was for $298, however I expected better. The photo online makes the bag look really cool.
Now the GOOD NEWS!! Marc Jacobs delivered a GRREEAATTT bag AGAIN with the “Groovee Dr. Q” satchel...I saw all of the colors..Tan, Chocolate, & Bordeaux (deep/rich burgundy color). I totally fell in LOVE with the Bordeaux color & called several stores (even Marc Jacobs store) to try & find it since the stores I visited (Bloomingdales, Nordstroms, & Neiman Marcus) only had the tan color in this style bag but there were other bags in the different colors, so at least I knew I wanted it in Bordeaux. I just got my Groovee satchel today & I am LOVING it

...the price was only $498 & the leather is very rich & soft. The photos online do NOT clearly show how nice this bag is...something you will want to keep forever & wear everyday!! Don't worry about it being pebbled leather, it's NOT very noticeable since the leather is very soft...great for work & play! Plus I am a sucker for the extra detachable strap, so you can hold it in your hand as a satchel (w/o the strap) or over the shoulder with the longer strap.
Happy hunting!
