Marni Suede Satchel

I went in for the Marni sale and of course the bag that allured me was not on sale, it was new for Resort 2010. The classic balloon bags are on sale though and those are still great to have, especially at 50% off! Anyway, this cute and handy suede satchel has the Marni-esque minimalism with all the cuteness of an animated character. The leather handles are affixed to a metal plate that goes along the top of the bag, and somehow just that simple little detail makes the bag exciting and special. And as an exception, I don't mind the shoulder strap, it is so long you can go cross body with it and it transforms you from sophisticated to little girl. For $1300, contact Alicia at the South Coast Plaza Marni boutique to purchase, 714-380-3155. Net-a-Porter has a brown leather version for $1220 that is amazing!
