When I heard the Marni designers jumped ship, I thought it would be the end of one of my most favorite bag lines. But apparently I had nothing to worry about. OK, last season sucked but this looks promising. It is a wool/cotton blend fabric frame with the signature leather straps. The straps attach toward the bottom of the bag, as you can see, so the outer zipper pocket is accessible even though it looks like it would be impossible to get to. Still, not the easiest thing but I do like the look of the straps going all the way down the bag instead of the typical, stitched at the top seam. The double clasp for the frame opening is another hurdle for me, it requires two hands or a bit of juggling to operate but like I said, this shows promise for what's to come, not that I'm running out to buy this, in case I'm sounding wishy washy. It has the usual natural cotton lining which makes the bag mostly fabric and thus the price extremely pleasing. At Marni for $715.
Fantastic Look simple, fun, yet Chic and elegant. Take anywhere.
I guess I could manage the zipper, but the double clasps are too much for me.
