This backpack looks so entirely odd at first, it almost resembles more of a small teepee than a leather bag. But Jil Sander’s lean, offbeat, uncommon shape actually makes perfect sense. Think about it: what do you put at the very top of a backpack? Nothing. It all falls to the bottom anyway, unless, of course, you’re going camping and your puffy sleeping bag takes up every bit of space. So why not streamline your load and go for a lighter option?
The zip closure opens right on the side (with a protective panel to keep things from escaping), exposing the entire vertical length for easy access, and the ample height (coming in at 18.5”) allows for larger essentials, like a mini-umbrella. The bright yellow version is so amazing – especially because it ensures you won’t have a single cloudy day all winter long – it’s already sold out. But you can’t go wrong with black, which feels especially fitting for this sharply modern silhouette. Jil Sander backpack on MATCHESFASHION.com
for $1,204.
Pair with: I love the pairing of black and dark blue, and Toga’s belted wrap skirt of waxed fabric is a fitting companion for a unique bag. On Ssense for $1,085.
