It seems Marc Jacobs never misses any opportunity to show his design talent. The Marc Jacobs Bookmarc collection is his latest endeavor and it's all about stationery.
The Marc Jacobs Bookmarc collection includes pencil tins and colored pencil sets, each priced at $8 US--incredibly cheap compared to the designer's other items.
But fans have to wait as the urban-chic designer wants to sell his stationery products exclusively at his own store, the Bookmarc Bookstore located in West Village, New York City. The store is scheduled to open in winter 2010.
