Marc Jacobs is back with yet another trendy bag, that has been all over our feeds and most likely yours too, and after the iconic "the tote bag", they bring "The sack bag" which has been endorsed by the likes of Kendall Jenner, Sabrina Carpenter, Dakota Fanning, Lila Moss, Lil Uzi Vert and more. Since we could not keep the hype down, we decided to pick out some bags that in our opinion come the closest to the style Marc Jacobs is offering. 

The style of the bag is more commonly known as 'hobo bag' which essentially represents the large storage, singular handle and snap closure that comes in it. Marc Jacob's original design comes in 3 sizes, the mini, the original one and the XL size. All of them are made out of full-grain leather, and have a magnetic closure and a singular top handle with a slip and zip pocket inside the bag. The only exception is the woven sack bag, which is made out of straw. Almost all of them come in solid with 3 other options in tie-dye, polka dots and woven. 

Pro-tip: Dior book tote dupes.

This one is the most similar to the classic Sack Bag in terms of colour, material and structure, but style-wise varies slightly as it has a zip pocket on the front and a lengthier silhouette. We like that it is more spacious and functional with an additional pouch that comes with it for more organization. It also features a magnetic closure similar to the original one.

Although it does not look similar to the original sack bag because of the knotted handle, it comes pretty close in colour, material and design to the Camel Shade of the sack bag. It also has a similar magnetic snap closure and is a much more affordable alternative to the original.

This bag from Tan And Loom has four colour variants and looks very similar in structure to the mini Sack Bags. They have a very rustic and boho charm compared to the modern style of Marc Jacobs but looks wise will give you everything you're looking for. Although it is on a steeper end price-wise, it is made out of pure leather and will last you longer than the trend itself.

In our opinion, this strays a bit more from the original colour and material, but it has the same style as the Marc Jacobs one. This one features a classic silhouette with its hobo shape, but a trendy light blue denim finish that looks much more street-style compared to this original one.

It is sleek, well-finessed and large which is what makes it come very close in terms of colour, style and material to the sack bag. Although the design varies with a zip closure and removable handle, it does resemble the classic one with its faux leather finish made to look like grain leather.

A personal favourite, this one comes very close to the mini green sack bag from Marc Jacobs. It has a classic shoulder bag silhouette with ruching on the top. We like the grain leather and bright green colour that looks just like the sack bag, save for the pleats which do look great as these bags don't have 'the sack bag' written on them.

Another ruched one, the JW PEI bag comes in ivory shade and is made out of vegan leather. This mini bag is quite on the higher end but if you're in the mood to splurge look no further. It has a classy and chic design that looks rich and comes very close to the comparatively more casual-looking MJ mini white sack bag.

This one has a beautiful blush shade that looks very similar to the rose shade of the original mini sack bag. We do like how the pattern comes very close to the original one especially with the handle, although the pleating at the bottom slightly strays from the design but still adds an elegant touch to it.

Structure-wise if something comes the closest to the original design then it is this one from Miraggio. Although the grained leather effect is missing, this glossy animal pattern in black looks equally classy. We like the way it carries on the shoulder, looking quite similar to the original size of the sack bag, even though in comparison it is slightly smaller.

This one by Twenty Dresses has 2 colour options (tan and black) which are just like the original one, save for the ruching. We love the semi-casual chic design and style of it and the colour options just make it even better. It might not be the sack bag, but it will surely last you longer than the trend and will pair easily with any outfit you decide to wear.

We had to find an alternative for the woven one, as it gives boho chic and we're here for it. This one from IYKYK comes the closest when you carry it without the sling strap, although that is a helpful accessory to have. The material is raffia which is also a kind of straw, similar to the original one. We also like that this does not just match the boho vibe but is also very chic with the tan leather piping on the edges and handle.

If you're looking for something casual and comfortable, better suited for daily use then this is it. Although it does not have the polka dot pattern, it has a black and white stripes pattern which gives a similar vibe. The large storage space is what catches the eye as the sack bag is popular for being so large and spacious, which not many bags are without looking unflattering, but this one does it well.
