Salvatore Ferragamo keeps it simple with the Marisa, a timeless black leather carryall.
It’s crafted from supple calf leather, which feels so soft to the touch. This luxurious fabric gives the Marisa, with its gentle pleats, just a hint of slouch. While it’s an opulent choice, it’s not an ostentatious one. While croc and ostrich draw the eye, calfskin is subtle. This gives the Marisa the versatility you need to travel from the board room to cocktails after quitting time.
Some may be disappointed in the lack of colors available, but black really is the best choice. There’s that versatility we spoke of earlier, but it’s also about the look. No other shade would see the silver hardware pop quite as much. The belted accents at the sides and fold key-lock are inspired touches, ensuring the Marisa becomes more than just another basic black bag.
A zipper hides underneath the front flap. It might seem a little superfluous when you’re in a hurry, but I appreciate the double dose of security. After all, anyone carrying Salvatore Ferragamo probably has some things worth protecting!
As with so many Salvatore Ferragamo bags, the biggest stumbling block here is the price. $1390 isn’t completely exorbitant in the world of high-end European fashion, but it’s not chump change either.
