Last week we saw Chloé’s moderately unsuccessful attempt at handbag minimalism, so to brighten up your Tuesday morning, I thought it would be nice to take a look at a bag from a brand that does minimalism far more successfully: Jil Sander.
Sander long ago ceased contact with her eponymous line, but her preference for minimal, modern design lives on in pieces like the Jil Sander Gray Manga Madame Bag. Competitors, take note: this is how you do chic minimalism.

just sheer chic minimalism!!! =]
That got an “oooooooooooooh” out of me!
Is that stingray? I love sting ray.
I don’t really like this bag. I may need to see it in person. Right now, it looks awkward and chunky. And that wide strap is a little weird.
Love the contrast of the gray pebbled leather with the smooth leather. Need to see more of the bag. That luggage tag in the front might bug me big time. The shoulder strap does look quite wide.
Sigh, this is gorgeous.
GORGEOUS! http://www.bagpoor.com/
Absolutely beautiful, this is a must have item!!!!!
love this…………….smile
LA LA LOVE
I agree with posters above that the thick strap seems awkward. Maybe if it were removed the bag would look better, but then the shoulder option is lost.
That strap is WAY too chunky for the rest of the bag – the handle is so delicate and small – to put that big strap on just detracts from the bag as a whole. Big thumbs down from me.
I really like the bag. Not so fond of the price, if in fact $2K is what it rings up on the register. (fb)
Amanda, I want this bag! I love the color and the details. Jil Sanders continues to surprise me!
OMG, I am in love, this is beautiful..I love it..
I have to see it in person but it looks very elegant.
beautiful!!! although i think i would take off the shoulder strap, i love the contrast in the two textures and the colour is very soft and versatile.
PERFECT!
Amazing, gorgeous bag. The material looks amazing. I love the wide strap- so architectural. I love everything Jil Sander but can’t afford any of it!
This bag is gorgerous! Loving the leather texture! Great example of minimalism!
Gorgeous!
I am in love.
I love this.
This bag is way to plain to cost $2K
*sigh* This bag is like a perfect typeface: sleek, simple, and just enough embellishment and attention to detail to keep you looking. The “serifs” are in all the right places.
