The story goes that while traveling the French Riviera, designer Marc Marmel realized that the luggage needs of the well-heeled travelers were not being adequately served. So, as Neiman Marcus explains, Marmel created “custom-made pieces that harken back to the designer luggage of a bygone era, luggage that combines functionality with inimitable style.” Each of the highly exclusive bags are handmade, crafted of Italian hand-cracked leather and finished with solid brass Italian hardware. Topping it all off is a secret Chinese silk brocade found in the large front pocket. Very nice touch. Get your basement-priced luxury Cracked Leather Mini-Bag for $1,420.
