"Save My Antarctic!"

Over the years, Marc Jacobs has been socially responsible by releasing environmentally friendly handbags. The particular bag on the right was a campaign to save the earth, specifically penguins in the Arctic. The bags are made of organic materials and produced in eco-friendly ways. The dyes used on the print are also all environmentally friendly.

Advertising Genius

Marc Jacobs is well known for his interesting and innovative ad campaigns. Two different campaigns that really caught my attention were the 2008 advertisements with Victoria Beckham and singer M.I.A. Victoria modeled for Marc Jacobs while M.I.A. modeled for his famous diffusion line, Marc by Marc Jacobs.

The Victoria Beckham ad was particularly successful because of the comical appeal of the advertisement... "Posh In A Bag!"

Giving Something Back

Marc Jacobs has been extremely charitable over the years. He and Robert Duffy, president of the company, have been very commited to giving back to their community and anywhere Marc Jacobs has stores located. He has been involved with several different charities including: Active Element Foundation, America Coming Together, Artsconnection, Cancer Care, Creative Growth, Preservation, just to name a few.

Stores Galore

Marc Jacob's boutiques have been a huge success and have popped up all over the globe. The first Marc Jacobs store opened in 1997. It is located at 163 Mercer Street in New York's Soho district. The second store opened in San Francisco's Maiden Lane in August of 2000.
