Marni Leather Shoulder Bag, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

I like this shoulder bag because it's got a lot of style but isn't loud or impractical, plus it looks comfy and easy to use and to take care of (I love anything that looks low maintenance). The Marni Leather Shoulder Bag is made of soft green suede, bright silver hardware, and sides accented with a pretty shade of purplish-pink. It closes at the top with an oversized bobble push lock that shows through the flap via a cut-out, and the flap stays down with a clasp. $1,775

Daphne Guinness Auction, Fashion For A Good Cause

by Laura Malesich (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Apparel, Auctions, Charity

Daphne Guiness,socialite and couture collector, has decided to jump on the bandwagon and perform her own spring cleaning in her closet -- except she is auctioning her unused and unwanted items to support the Womankind charity which benefits women in developing countries. The auction of such pieces from Chanel, Versace and Alexander McQueen happens today at 2 pm with Kerry Taylor Auction House in London. For those of us who can't make the lightning-speed trip over the pond, you can also bid via eBay. A typical lot of shoes may include four or more styles from Jimmy Choo, Yves Saint Laurent or Prada and will range from $80 to $400. There are also Marni coats and a Lanvin shredded ribbon dress. Although you have to be a size 37 shoe (that's in UK sizing) you don't have to fit into the gorgeous handbags, hats or accessories.

Marni Feathered Evening Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Sandy Maple (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Feathers may be all over the runways this fall, but too much of a good thing can make one a little birdish. I think this bag strikes a nice balance with a wispy row of pink and grey rooster feathers against a soft grey satin.
A panel of dark grey latex is accented with a Swarovski crystal adorned latch and the wide leather and nylon strap is fortunately detachable. Inside, the bag is lined in silk raso and features one leather trimmed pocket. The clutch measures 10.5 x 10.5 x 1.6 x 5.5 and sells for $1100.

Leggings for Men?

Filed under: Apparel

After Balenciaga came out with their $100,000 metallic leggings, there was nowhere for the women's legging industry to go without changing materials and moving away from the easy, form fitting standard that makes leggings what they are. So, designers have moved their leggings onto men. Marni's brand new men's collection for this coming fall heavily features men's leggings. They're made of microfiber cotton and wool, have bottom stirrup straps and come in a variety of colors. Marni is describing them as "sophisticated," but it seems unlikely that too many men are going to dive right in to this extremely form fitting type of clothing for casual or evening wear.

Marni Balloon Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Even those metallic kids' balloons don't look as shiny as the Marni Balloon Bag, reported to be one of the hottest new bags of the season. Fortunately, the bag is made of red patent leather, not anything actually metallic. It has small top handles in smooth tan leather, as well as leather reinforcements at the bottom corners of the bag. An adjustable shoulder strap makes the oversized tote easy to tuck under your arm. If you prefer a more understated look, even though the lipstick red is very appealing, the bag is also available in black, grey, cream, and saffron. Price: $1,620, at Marni boutiques.

Marni Leather Frame Bag, Handbag of the Day

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Handbags

Marni's Leather Frame Bag is a nice complement to a business suit or other professional outfit. The bag, which is made of shiny tobacco-colored leather, has a slightly 80s look to it due to some of the more decorative links in the chain. Despite the fact that it has a chain attached to the top handle, it is intended to be purely decorative and the bag should be carried with the small top handle. Price: $1,605 (on sale for $963).
