Marni Mini Balloon Bag | Sleek And Shiny Bordeaux Patent Balloon Bag

Posted on: Sep 12

Marni is one of those lines that combines designs and materials in unique and unexpected ways. The line, favored by fashionistas on both sides of the Atlantic, delivers classic style with a hip, youthful attitude.

Its modern take on the classic balloon bag is to die for. The slick maroon patent is the perfect material for this shape. The shiny surface makes it look almost weightless, but the thoughtful contrast with the tan leather details holds it firmly to this planet.

This bag has a lot of interesting details that are both beautiful and practical. The strongly seamed leather handles look great with their contrast stitching, and are also built to last. The caramel leather corner patches with stud detail give the bag a metal edge and will protect the patent from wear and tear right where it needs it most.

The only thing I'm not really digging about the bag is the detachable shoulder strap. It's simply too wide for the feminine shape and size of the bag, and it looks off balance and out of place. Luckily, it's removable.

The eclectic combination of details results in a bag that can do double duty. It will fit in nicely with uptown office attire, but also with some edgier looks.
