Did anyone else just catch that balmy breeze in the air? What a delightfully fresh summer bag! Sometimes a bag is all it takes to make you feel like a new season is finally in effect, and for me, Viktor & Rolf’s eyelet-inspired creation is it.
We’ve been seeing a lot of this elongated bar hardware as a detail lately, but this feels different from the rest, thanks to the boldly faceted finials. It’s highly versatile: utilize the slim strap to wear it over the shoulder, or tuck it in to carry it as a clutch (the slim, east-to-west silhouette is the quintessential clutch shape).
With black accents, à la the gussets, lining, and optional straps, you don’t have to doubt this is a transitional piece, not to be strictly reserved for the hottest of summer nights. But it’s really about the delicately punched-out print. The perforated leather and spirited design make for the perfect addition to give your warm-weather wardrobe an instant (and possibly early) jumpstart. Viktor & Rolf bag on thecorner.com for $985.
