Marni Bi-Color Turn-Lock Bag: We All Need a Little Structure

Marni Hobo Bucket Bag: More or Less
It’s only natural that I wish there was more to this bag, but then again, I love the shape. It’s a totally relaxed take on a bucket tote but it’s not a bona fide hobo. Essentially, it’s an easy throw-around bag that’s got more personality (and somehow more elegance) than your average big bucket.
