Marni Balloon Handbag with Richard Prince Print
Sooo... do you have your Marni Balloon Bag yet? On Friday I went to a launch party for a Seattle-focused nightlife Magazine, and I was amazed at how many Marni Balloon bags were out in the crowd. I would say easily 4. Everyone else was holding Chanel or Louis Vuitton (Riveting and Olympe Stratus!).

At first I didn’t like the Marni Balloon bag, well because, it looked like a giant balloon. But now I am in love – my favorite for spring-summer-days is the one pictured above. Dressed in nylon canvas and topped off with double straps (hand straps in two-toned acetate, detachable shoulder straps in ribbon with leather accents), this bag features a fun print by Richard Prince for Marni - Definitely a casual spring day bag. Price $1,100

horrible desgin...and to think people would actually pay that much for this...it looks like something you would get at wal-mart...sorry to anyone who likes it, but that is my honest opinion...

like the balloon design? or the actual design by Richard Prince? I like it because it's unique. Everyone I know has the patent red or black version... this one is alittle bit more spring-y

the balloon shape is alright, but the design is not my style.

here are a couple more bags (the shoppers) with the Richard Prince design... all $325 @marni.com

I definitely do not like the other prints nearly as much. I do like the shopper with the first print on the left
