Ring lizard is my new obsession. You don’t want to go too crazy with a ring lizard though, the natural patterns holds its own, so a simple flap with no hardware and a simple strap is just peachy perfect. The strap though is not typical, there is a solid lizard part that goes up to the shoulder but the actual shoulder part is black leather. Although you won’t hold this in your hand, the shoulder part still gets a lot of action so it’s good that it is not lizard. There is some interesting knotting going on where the strap attaches to the bag. These are just little touches that add design elements without obstructing the beauty of the skin. Jil Sander is a genius! Love her. At Net-a-Porter for $1795.
This is a gorgeous bag. Classy and ladylike, and it looks perfect for day and evening. However, I hope the solid gold strips don’t hurt as you’re carrying the bag by the shoulder!
I love Jil Sander more than words can express. What a classic style with an innovative fabric. I love the strap– it gives this slightly ironic twist that pulls together the whole look.

Hi Shareen,
That gold part is actually lizard, so it is soft. The shoulder is leather so it’s nice and comfy.
Love, Kelly
The lizard is not Asian ring lizard. It is South American tejus.
