I thought the Ava bag we gave away in black was pretty awesome but then I happened upon the distressed metallic version and can’t decide which one I like better. Both are equally eye catching and though the black leather shows off the chain detail better, the metallic has a glitzy appeal that I’m loving for fall. Just imagine it with your new winter palette, all the somber black/plum/chocolate hues will need a bold bag to brighten up the mood! Botkier Metallic Ava Shoulder Bag for $445
It wasn’t just the proportions of his spring collection that Raf Simons played with at Jil Sander. The totes in the collection were, get this, based on ordinary, run-of-the-mill plastic grocery bags that, while we’ve certainly seen done over the years, seemed fresh and new under Simons’ watch. At quick glance they look like plastic; a closer look reveals them actually be leather and vinyl. A novel idea, yes, but how practical can a shapeless–and transparent–sac be? We’ll see come spring, as the company plans to produce these totes but will add a small leather strap to loop through the handles so that they can be worn as a shoulder bag. Would you invest in such a piece? Or is this a DIY project in the making?
