Marni is a comparatively young fashion label that was founded by Consuelo Castiglioni in 1994. She got inspiration and support from her husband’s family fur business and became well-known for professionally wonderful design of fur. Fur apparel at that time was unpopular and old-fashioned, but Castiglioni’s design turned from overly sexy clothing and emphasized colors, shapes and prints. Thanks to Castiglioni’s striking contribution, fur was made into modern, versatile and wearable pieces. Nowadays, Marni has gained international fame and expanded to a full array of ready-to-wear clothing, handbags, jewelry and eyewear.

　

Fashion commentators throw around words like whimsical, off-beat and funky when they describe the aesthetic of Marni. Rooted in the rich experience of Castiglioni designing funky clothes and bags for years, Marni set its own style which was called quirky and finally hit it with the mainstream. Apart from the unique style, Marni handbags are cherished by bag collectors for exquisite craftsmanship, luscious materials and neutral palette including gray, beige and blue.
