Earlier this summer I spotted celeb style star Diane Kruger carrying a studded, bohemian-chic cross body bag as she headed out of BUILD series in NYC. The bag was different from many celeb favorites of late, and though I could tell the leather was great quality and the bag appeared to be beautifully crafted, I couldn’t immediately identify it. With a bit of digging I was able to positively ID the bag as the Isabel Marant Nasko Bag. Though the bag wasn’t particularly my style as the oversized studs were a tad bit too bohemian, there were a lot of elements that I liked about it and I wondered what else the brand had to offer. I tabled the idea of owning an Isabel Marant bag, and truth be told I forgot all about Isabel Marant in general until one of the designer’s coats landed on my fall wishlist. When I began to dig deeper into Isabel Marant handbags I soon discovered that the bag came in other versions that I could genuinely see myself wearing. Additionally I found some other covetable Isabel Marant Bags as well.
After studying design, now iconic, Parisian designer Isabel Marant founded her namesake label in 1994. Founded on French design principals, her designs ooze Parisian culture with a romantic, bohemian vibe. A favorite of fashion editors and insiders, Marant is known for chunky knitwear, romantic dresses, flowy skirts and her famous wedge sneakers. The perfect finishing touch to the carefully curated Marant aesthetic, her handbag designs posses a casual, boho feel with a chic finish.
From slouchy leather totes and crossbody bags to studded belt bags and fringed bucket bags, the average price for a Marant design is around $800. The price point alone makes these contemporary designs a solid, affordable option. Most of the bags posses a youthful feel and are a refreshing choice for those looking to branch away from overly branded logo pieces. My favorite bag is very similar to the design we spotted on the shoulder of Diane Kruger, called the Oskan New Hobo Bag, I love the overall shape of this design. And while the large studs were too much for me, I don’t mind the tiny gold studded outline. The black versus the brown feels a bit more chic and less bohemian, fitting perfectly into my current wardrobe. Other notable designs from the brand are below.

She doesn’t need attention, she wrongfully steals from indigenous artisans and creators and then goes ahead and sabotages them when they call her out for it.
THIS !
Interesting. What is this story?

Basically Isabel Marant and another designer stole designs from an indigenous group from Mexico and when the group from Mexico took legal action Marant tried to file patents of the design to stop the indigenous group from creating their own designs and selling them, and also as a way to shun them. She did not sue, so that was my fault in my previous post. I thought she did…but yeah still screwed up to do that.
I love all the bags you presented. Thank you for introducing me to Isabel Marant. I am so sick of all the haute couture duplicate fashions of late. She is a breath of fresh air with prices that are acceptable. I will even look in the second hand market for her beautiful leather.
simple she rips off other cultures and makes bags that look like they belong in the airport boutique discount section
She’s one of the few celebrities that can pull of this style. I can totally picture Vanessa Hudgens and Kate Hudson pulling off this bag since they both can pull off Boho-chic pretty well.
Boho chic is tough to pull off without looking like you tried to hard or are going to a festival. But I agree you about Kate and Vanessa for sure and probably Sienna Miller.
I could be wrong, but these bags look like they have quite a bit of empty weight
Reminds me of heritage-style goods from Frye, Fossil, Antik Batik, etc…….
I was thinking the same thing re: Frye
Way too pricey for Made in China.
Dated, cheap looking & forced to me. Prob great for the high schoolers at burning man or Coachella.
Nothing confusing here. We’re not paying attention to them because they are UGLY.
No confusion. I’m not seeing anything special.
So ugly.
