Marian Braided Bag, Brown & Green

The Marian Braided Bag in Brown & Green is a considered transitional bag — the exact right size and register for the season shift out of summer, into autumn, and on through winter. Handheld or crossbody, dressy or day-out, the Marian earns its place quietly.

The design detail: the braiding is super cute — a textural woven finish across the body of the bag that lifts it from generic-neutral into considered-design. The two-tone Brown & Green palette is a beautifully earthy autumn combination — chocolate-brown, warm olive-green, quietly grown-up. Plays with the bitter-chocolate winter capsule and the whole olive-and-earthy-neutral family.

Two ways to wear:

• Handheld — the elegant everyday grip
• Crossbody — the practical hands-free option

The perfect size for the essentials: phone, lippie, perfume, a bit of makeup for touch-ups, and your keys. Everything you actually need, nothing you don't.

How Hil wears hers — always handheld (crossbody isn't really her thing):

• With one of her gorgeous Rino & Pelle coats
• Her Toxik Tia Barrel Jeans in Chocolate Brown
• A chunky trainer — unusual for Hil, but this is her sports-luxe moment. The braided bag in her hand, the chocolate-barrel silhouette, the chunky trainer — considered elevated-casual through and through

How Sue wears hers — Sue is much more of a crossbody girl, so crossbody it is:

• With her cropped Toxik Keira jeans (her signature) and her beloved stacked olive boots — Sue's autumn-winter go-to. (An ancient Russell & Bromley purchase, not something we sell — we can't get them off her feet.) The olive of the boots picks up the green side of the Marian's braid, considered from every angle
• Or with the same Keiras and her new-in Emu Australia Sharky Scuff Boots in Chestnut — the chocolate-teddy-fur boot playing right into the brown side of the Marian's palette. Quietly gorgeous

Not fit-critical — universal, wear it with anything.
