Jil Sander Notte Bag: Clear and Present Glamour

I’m clearly changing my mind about clear bags.  Maybe I just had something to hide before because now, I am loving being open and transparent. Even though I’m content to be in the clear these days, there is something particularly alluring about clarity with a tint, like Jil Sander’s midnight blue-tinged top-handle. Offset with some hue, lucency is way more mysterious and interesting. Hey, you don’t need to give it all away!

You have to be careful when it comes to using PVC; it’s a notoriously difficult material to work with. The seams never want to be straight, but in Jil Sander’s genius hands, you know perfection is to be had. And you can really see it: not a flaw to be found. Just glossy, juicy, shiny goodness. The combination of dark blue with black is the epitome of classic chic. The best detail may be lurking within: keep your secrets in the metallic-silver interior pouch that glistens in the shadows for extra intrigue. On LN-CC for $1,746.

Pair with: A great wallet is an obvious must. Add a flash of metal with Jimmy Choo’s star-spangled Nikita wallet, studded and mirrored to perfection. On Net-a-Porter for $795.
