Marni was founded in 1994 by Swiss-born but Milan-based Consuelo Castiglioni, who has remained the label’s chief designer over the years. Marni offers its wearers unique silhouettes as evident in the eye- catching Fold Handle handbag, while bold colors come to life in youthful pieces like the Drawstring Tote or Convertible Backpack. Though Castiglioni drives the design, frequent artistic collaborations influence the brand’s cult status. But the perfect partnership is really between you and the must-have Marni.
Miuccia Prada’s family nickname was brought to life when Miu Miu was established in 1994 as the whimsical counterpart to its sister brand, Prada. Miu Miu’s signature quilted design, the Matelassé, is implemented throughout the line, as evidenced by the Coffer Hobo. Other pieces like the Madras Lock Tote embody modern femininity with quiet sophistication. Through its continued evolution, Miu Miu has clearly made a (nick)name for itself as a brand worth watching in the world of luxury handbags.
