Jil Sander Manga Madame Bag (who is she?)

Jil-Sander-Gray

So I don’t want to sound big-headed but it’s not too often that I find a handbag by a designer I’ve never heard which is the case with this shoulder bag by Jil Sander. Just from the pic above you can see it’s quite a departure from the usual summer leather we’ve been seeing lately. First thing that does spring to mind is the world “futuristic” and that’s not a phrase I’ve used here before. I suppose it’s quite a trick to predict what bags will look like in 10 years which is probably why everyone is so obsessed with making vintage bags at the moment. There really is something of the “sci fi” movie about this handbag don’t you think? Something in my head keeps screaming out “Minority Report”!

As you can guess from the sketchy content of this post so far details of the bag itself are very thin on the ground, even at the official site at store.jilsander.com there’s no mention. Could be (and probably is) some attempt to drum up some more hype but I don’t really see the need as something this good sells itself. From design alone it really does look a class act, everything from the oversized strap to the clasp on the front scream effortless cool (with a dash of comfort). To many this will look like a business bag from the off but to me it’s going to go great with anything even slightly classy in your wardrobe. Prices are still unknown but I’d be surprised if you can snag it for under £1500.
