On April 20, 2025, I attended the Bark Jacobs event at MARC JACOBS - The Forum Shops at Caesars. With my in-store purchase of a leather bag, I received complimentary, hand-painted pet portraits of my fur babies. I chose the placement and a local artist artfully rendered their faces directly onto my tote.
Customer service was outstanding! My sales contact was Zai. She immediately responded to my appointment request via email and scheduled me in for the event. Luckily, there were a few slots open! I met with her in advance to select a handbag as the canvas for the pet portraits. It was a tough decision due to the great designs available. But, my heart was set on the iconic, The Tote, and I couldn't be more happier! It's a solid, durable, functional, and fashionable piece. Its one of those carryall totes in which I know I'll be throwing in other smaller totes and stuff. IYKYK! I like that it has a zipper, too.
Laura was the local artist who custom painted my dogs Fiji, Makana, and Summer. She did an amazing job!! I love the way it turned out and am very proud to showcase their faces every time I carry the tote around.
Marc Jacobs is a brand that I regularly follow now. I have my eye set on other bags and accessories and will certainly reach out to Zai on my future purchases. As far as future Bark Jacobs event, you'll have to do some searching on their website to determine if it's offered in your city. I believe it is an annual event now. read more
