Gwen Stefani’s taken an uncharacteristically conservative approach to fashion with this Marlene satchel.
Ordinarily L.A.M.B.’s accessories feature loud Rasta inspired color schemes, neon colors, or checkerboards, but there’s none of that flamboyance here. Instead the soft tumbled leather finish is classically rendered with diamond quilting. The black color is another traditional choice.
The Marlene’s also perfectly serviceable, with just the right amount of space and plenty of functional features. The interior is generous but not overwhelming, with a collection of interior pockets to complement the zippered one we see on the front. Its shoulder straps are long but not too long, and flat so they’ll stay on your shoulder while you’re out and about.
In the Marlene, Gwen Stefani’s probably created her most accessible purse. You really can’t say anything bad about it. But in creating something so crowd-pleasing I also feel her L.A.M.B.’s label’s lost its spark. It’s nice enough, but you’ll probably find something comparable for less than the $368 price tag we see here.
