Shearling is everywhere these days. I guess it started with Uggs, but that was half a decade ago and the trend shows no sign of abating. Most of the time, I’m not really a big fan of shearling in fashion. It’s bulky, which is almost never flattering. But Marni has come up with an ingenious way to use it that I absolutely love.
Marni has combined a rich, weathered brown leather with fluffy ivory shearling to produce a bag that is smooth on the outside and soft on the inside, or vice versa if you reverse it. Personally, I prefer the leather side out, but I can see the voluminous and wonderfully textured shearling going well with a lot of boho styles.
The shape is a little bit structured, a little bit slouchy. It’s actually got a decent amount of structure as a design, but the supple materials make it slouchy. The shape also has a great balance of bulk and slimness. The heavy bottom of the bag contrasts beautifully with the svelte straps. My only concern with this is that the bag is large enough that the straps might get a little uncomfortable after a few hours of wear.
