Marni is getting sloppy
By Bag Snob Tina on February 17, 2009 6:00 am Tina Craig

marnislouchbag.jpgmarnislouchinterior.jpg

I am showing my age but lately I can’t stand looking at sloppy people. Take some pride in yourselves! I’m not talking about being perfectly groomed, but is it too much to ask you to tuck in your underwear(or plumber’s crack), wash your hair, take a shower and be presentable? marnislouch2.jpgI am also a stickler for good posture, I know I am turning into a grouchy 90 year old but it drives me nuts to see people slouching! I want to slap their backs, pull down their shoulders and raise their heads, you know– pilates stance. Now once in while I’ll get into a slouchy bag if it has good form and shape but the Marni above has neither. See last Friday’s post of Halston bag for example of a good slouch. This, this is bad slouch– not to mention inconvenient slouch. The opening is so tiny that you’ll barely be able to reach in to grab stuff and you can forget about using a large wallet. All that ruching and slouchiness is such a waste of leather! Remove all that and you’ll have a simple round hobo. $1,795 at Net-a-porter.com

    haha, I get the same way around people with bad posture! Anyway, I saw this bag in person 3 days ago and have to agree. It’s like someone tried combining a scrunchy with a bag. Such a shame – it would have been quite nice without all the ruching.

    This should be the definition of f-ugly slouchiness. Looks more like a cheap knock-off of the Prada collection than an original design. Why does their seem to be a dearth of creative hands at Marni and others? I carried something like this back in the days when I shopped at Contempo Casuals! Recycling seems to be the style du jour.

    I had no idea the top opening is sooo small. It looks okay but I can’t live with the small top opening and the minimal strap drop. *sigh*

    It is the colour of chewed pink bubblegum tossed on the street hence the grayish tone. The bag itself looks like it is encased in a shower cap (note the garterized edges). Blech!

    The color of stale dusty bubblegum plus the garterized edges looks like the bag is encased in a shower cap.
