After hitting some of the fashion shows during New York Fashion Week, showcasing the latest and greatest for Spring/Summer 2008, there was one recurring theme: ethnic. Some of the top designers from Oscar de la Renta to Versace are all doing tribal patterns and ethnic prints so authentic-looking, you would think they were…well…authentic and straight from the Congo.
One designer known for embracing an ethnic print season to season is Marni. Whether it is in the clothing or accessories, they always do it right! I’ve found the perfect bag that I’ll be toting along with me everywhere this summer. It’s large enough to hold all of my magazines, iPods, Blackberry, makeup and all else that fills my handbag on a daily basis. Yet it’s slouchy enough to conceal it all with leather shoulder straps sturdy enough to support it all. 
The bag has a finish resembling a beautiful abstract painting with large wild brushstrokes. And its colors are cool earth tones of grassy greens and sunny yellows reminiscent of the wilds of Africa. Available at Net-A-Porter.com for $354, this bag will definitely carry you throughout the summer. Pair it with a simple tank and a pair of your favorite jeans and let the bag be your showpiece.
Maybe that trip to Africa will happen one of these days, but for now, I’ll carry my new Marni bag throughout the urban jungles of NYC.
