Marargent Makes Handbags for You and Your Chic Grandmother to Share

Sometime last fall, I became aware of a new "influencer bag," if you will, that looked nothing like an "influencer bag" at all. Rather than serving as a tidy evolution of the micro Jacquemus top-handle or the early-2000s-beloved baguette, this new contender was slender and boxy, with gold-plated brass fixings and in the lower corner, an embellishment of a woman's naked figure.

Mariana Ramirez, the brand's founder and creative director, started Marargent out of her own desire for an aesthetically-relevant handbag label that defied the tides of time. "When I was growing up, I wanted something that could be passed down from generation to generation," Ramirez tells me over Zoom from Bogotá, where she's based and where the line is designed, sourced and hand-made in small batches.

While the brand's bags themselves are testament to Ramirez's own work as a student of design, the label's Instagram account is perhaps a more literal representation.

In November, Christie Tyler, the influencer you may know as @nycbambi, posted an outfit shot for her 400,000-plus followers that pictured a chocolate-brown wool coat and a coordinating "Pierre" bag. The next day, Moda Operandi was in Ramirez's inbox. And two days after that, Ramirez was at the luxury e-commerce platform's offices in New York City, with the retailer proposing that they host Marargent as a trunkshow to see how the buyers responded.

In pandemic-driven quarantine, where Colombia's mandatory stay-at-home orders were enforced until May 31, Marargent had real moments of stillness for the first time. It's important for creativity, explains Ramirez, but also increasingly difficult for her suppliers.
