Cream Patent Tote: $960 Metallic Silver Hobo: $1,608
I was surprised to find out the metallic silver hobo was from Jil Sander as the trendy leather weave is a departure from its usual "less is more" aesthetic. The shape, however, is simple without fuss which is completely in line with what we're used to seeing from the house of minimalism. It's a nice attempt from Raf Simons (current creative director as Jil Sander retired to take up gardening) to bring a younger and trendier clientele. I am more into the dreamy cream patent tote, it just looks so chic and modern and not something you'll be sick of in like, a week. Plus it has a detachable body strap that busy bag snobs seem to love. Both bags are around 14 inches wide which will make our big bag fans happy but is still manageable enough for those of you contemplating a big bag but do not want to be laughed at. At Jil Sander New York 212-838-6100 , Barneys and Bergdorfs. Also online at MyTheresa.com

Nice pick!
I just adore the clean shapes of Jil Sander bags. They are so simple and chic, like the clothing. I especially love the cream with the cross body tote.

Couldn't agree more about Jil Sander. I'm a huge fan of the minimalist understated look. Could it be that Raf Simons will be the answer to Jil Sander as Tomas Maier is to Bottega Veneta? I'm not complaining.

Thank you for Jil Sander bags and the mytheresa.com site. I am in heaven. I've been looking for Sander bags for the past two weeks and bam you provide an excellent source.

Thanks for the heads-up on this one! I just ordered the cream patent bag at My Theresa; it's exactly what I was looking for but hadn't quite found. My thanks also go to you for the ode to the Lanvin Maxi-Miss a while back - I bought that one a few weeks ago and am in love with it. BTW, the $960 price listed on the patent tote is including V.A.T., which we non-EU residents don't have to mess with. It worked out to about $812 USD before shipping.

You just can't go wrong.
