Neutral colors and a checkered motif: this is quintessential Marni at their very best. They have a way of throwing caution towards the wind, without chucking it completely and when they do, they hit all the right notes. This bag is at once cheeky, capricious, astute, and elevated.
But forget all the big words. I love this bag because it makes me feel happy and already has me daydreaming about picnics on the prairie. The magic is in the high-contrast weave; there’s something so playful about it. As it goes with anything and everything Marni, there’s also an element of whimsy here I can’t help but adore.
They’re also wise enough to let the weave speak for itself. This bowler shape is on the basic side, but it’s differentiated ever so slightly, with squared-off corners and zippers that travel all the way down the gusset. Check, mate! Marni Woven Leather and Raffia Bowling Bag on NET-A-PORTER for $1,690.
Pair with: Keep it simple and a little sweet with Saloni’s easy drop-waist dress in royal blue crepe de chine. Available for pre-order at Barneys New York for $360 (expect delivery in April).
