Marni’s sometimes unorthodox approach to design is often to my liking. It takes a lot of risks, though, which means that sometimes things don’t always come out perfectly. Unfortunately, while the design of this bag is interesting, it’s not particularly appealing.
The blueberry color of the leather on this bag is really unique. It’s a cross between blue and lavender, and if I liked the actual design of the bag a tiny bit more, this is definitely the color I’d get it in. The texture is extremely smooth, which goes well with the puffy, slouchy style of the tote.
The design of this bag is a little, well, it’s just a little off. For a bag with minimal embellishment, it has a little too much going on for my taste. First, there’s the cutoff corners, which might work if there weren’t also a giant front pocket and a giant ribbon tie.
Honestly, I think everything on this bag is just a little too big, from its size to the ribbon. On a smaller scale or with more restraint, I think this general idea might be interesting, but the sum effect here is sloppy. The only reasonably-sized thing about the bag is the slim shoulder strap, and it is way too skinny for a bag this size.
