So the trendy brand Guess might go a bit over the top with studs, plastic embroidered plates and logos on their handbag designs, but what do you ladies think about Marciano handbags, the upscale brand owned by Guess Inc? I never really looked into Marciano’s accessory line, but upon viewing their Fall 09’ collection, some of their goods don’t look bad at all. I can’t say I’m in love with the Martha Cutout Tote, but from all, it has got to be my favorite.

I like how this bag has a rocker chic vibe to it; it’s great for the ladies who want to try the heavy rock gal look without breaking the bank much. A cool array of knotted leather adds character to what would have been another simple black bag, and I can’t possibly complain about the distressed look either.

Carry this tote with the studded cut out handles or by means of the chained leather wrapped shoulder straps, if the tote gets heavy for everyday wear, simply detach the chains for a much lighter feel. It’s a cute bag, extremely roomy, and a great tote to call your “kick-around”.
