While you might think that this black Marni tote was designed for super organized Snobs, I’m a complete mess and feel like it was made for me! Not because the bag encourages tidiness (though having three pockets to throw odds and ends in that would otherwise fall to the bottom of the tote is hardly a bad thing), but because it’s so playful. The look reminds me of the comforting feel a high school locker – personal space amidst all the chaos and hustle of life (HS was a confusing time for me!). The sides are expandable with zippers that plunge all the way down, allowing you to be sleek one minute and uber-functional the next. And I love the vibrant teal lining. This is the pop of color we’ve been seeing on so many of Consuelo Castiglioni’s bags this season, like the equally enamoring perforated hobo ($1,760) – for the woman who likes to keep her spring hues minimal and in the case of this tote, almost hidden! At Neiman Marcus for $1,450.
Gorgeous bag, love it.
