Bagaholicboy Muses #430 – 10 Things You Should Know About The H&M + Marni Collection!
With the full collection due to be launched in Singapore with less than a month to go, most if not all of you would have already found ways to take leave/off/MC just to get in on the action, which would start with standing in line and queuing up from the day before. But before that day that comes, here are 10 things you should know about the H&M + Marni collection.
01. As far as the limited edition collaboration goes, it is pretty extensive for both genders in the approximately 95-piece collection. Naturally, the girls get around 66 pieces, while the boys will have to contend with just 29.
02. Those in the queue will only be allowed to purchase one piece per style. In other words, if there are say, 6 different styles of necklaces available, you’ll only be allowed to buy one piece each.
03. Ladies can look forward to cardigans in wool or silk, printed trousers, silk shorts, blouses, jackets, skirts and leggings. There’s also a tee and a one-piece swimsuit that’s oh so retro. Accessories wise, there are 7 variations of chunky necklaces in different colours, a pair of sequinned collars, acrylic drop earrings, colour block bracelets, sandals and shoes.
04. The bags are pretty ho-hum (3 designs in all), but the silk scarves/foulards are darling. Rounding up the collection we have a conical wide-brimmed hat, a pair of sunnies, socks (yes, socks) and a pair of belts.
05. The hat and the belts will retail for SGD14.90 each, the sunnies and the earrings will sell for SGD39.90 a pair and between SGD39.90 and SGD49.90 for the chunky bracelets. Shoes will range between SGD119 and SGD199,
06. The most expensive piece in the womens collection is the long sleeveless silk dress that will sell for SGD199. The silk dress that was featured in the ad campaign that many of you have been lusting over will retail for SGD159.
07. And now for the guys. The mens collection is much smaller, but there are enough pieces to keep most of the boys happy. Besides the usual offerings of shirts, trousers and shorts, there is also a hoodie, a pair of swim shorts, 2 parkas and a coat.
08. Rounding up the collection for the boys include accessories like bags that include a duffle (SGD79.90) and a tote (SGD159), a pair of sandals, ties, sunnies, socks (yes, again with the socks) and a pair of silk scarves.
09. Prices will start at SGD14.90 for a pair of socks all the way to SGD299 for the parkas and the coat, which are also the most expensive pieces in the whole collaboration collection. Design wise, the mens collection is more limited, with only 2 shirts and the swim shorts in prints. The rest of the pieces are either striped or in bold colours, browns and blues.

Hey BB, do you know how much do the men’s shirts and sandals go for? Also, would you know if the lookbook is out? Thanks!
The shirts will range from SGD79.90 to SGD159 a pop. The leather sandals are SGD119, with all prices here subject to changes.
The look book should be out soon, and I’ll be uploading more looks in the coming week as well so do stay tuned!
I was so psyched when I heard HM will have a collaboration with Marni but after watching the commercial and seeing the menswear pieces I am starting to question myself. Is it worth it?
It’s true, the mens pieces aren’t half as exciting as the pieces they have done for the ladies. Oh well.
Love Marni! But the queue will be very long…
Do you know when it’s launching in SG and Korea? Is it true that SG and Japan will get a delayed launch (10 March) whilst Korea and the rest of the world will be on the 8 March?
Hi do you mean there’s only 95 pieces stocked across all styles and sizes? With so few how to get my hands on any?
95 different styles for both men and women, not 95 pieces available for sale.
Can’t wait for it to arrive!!! (FB)
hmm for some reason ain’t all that excited… the men’s range dont feel that lust worthy… hope the printed shirts aren’t in silk… eeks!
can’t wait to see the parkas and the jacket for men!

Thanks for the post BB! We can always count on you for exclusive updates when it comes to fashion!
There’s a silver version of the sandals for the girls, which looks beautiful (refer to first pic). I really hope its available for the guys too.
Sorry to burst your bubble Hahn, but there isn’t any mention of a mens version in silver within the look books.
Hey BB! Do you think there will be a launch party in singapore for the Marni H&M collaboration?
I’m not 100% sure at this point.
Around what time do you think should I queue? And can we buy 2 of each style?
Probably only allowed one style per person, but I’ll have to check out that. Last year the queue for H&M + Versace started around 5 in the evening the previous day, so your guess is as good as mine for the H&M + Marni one.
