If you follow fashion shows, you know that Raf Simons’ Spring 2011 collection for Jil Sander was one of the most well-received and directional runway presentations of the upcoming season. Featuring traditional shapes in eye-poppingly vibrant shocks of color, Simons set the tone for spring and had everyone in the industry dreaming of pinks, oranges and kelly greens. Most of us are still dreaming, in fact.
To get the look without investing in expensive ready-to-wear, look no further than the Jil Sander Market Bags in the same bombastic brights as the line’s clothing. With great leather and a three-figure price tag (not to mention the cache of being from one of the season’s most important collections), I anticipate that these bags will sell rather quickly.
The spare lines of these hobos effortlessly evoke the minimal spirit that made the collection so good, and they allow the colors to pop without obtrusion or obstruction by pockets, zippers, tassels or other various and sundry handbag accoutrements. I can’t take my eyes off of the hot pink colorway, and I’m not even a “pink” girl. Buy through Net-a-Porter for $895.
Love. Can’t AFFORD, but love. (ipad)
The price is surprisingly low when compared to other designers, but I prefer to stay neutral with my bags. (ipad)
love, love, love the pink one! it’s so screaming my name.. (ipad)
I love the bright colors, but the bag is a little too large for my tastes.
I didn’t really like the Jil Sander’s clothing. It looked a little cheap. (iPad)
The simple shape of the bag allows the intense color to work. I am quite partial to the green one! (ipad)
By a conceptual point of view these bags are amazing btu I’m not so sure that they would be so nice on “real women”

The colors are divine, the style is fabulous (ipad)
Not my cup of tea… (ipad).
Love the pink one (ipad)
Too bright!! I think I may be blind! Sorry, just not my cuppa tea! (iPad)
i love the color and design…(ipad)
i’ll pick the yellow. What a fun bright bag for a dull, uninspiring day (ipad)
Too bright! (ipad)
Looks like it came from F21 or something. (ipad)
The colors are too bright. (ipad)
I don’t like the shape at all but the colors are to die for… (ipad)
These are smiley bags. I just love them. (ipad)
Looove the yellow one!!! (ipad)
They look beautiful for about a minute until the brightness starts to hurt your eyes! (ipad)
Cute. Love the crazy bright colors, but I wouldn’t spend that much for them.
Love the green and the yellow ones! (ipad)
i want the pink one!!!! (ipad)
The color unfortunately makes the bags look a bit cheaper, takes away from the extravagance, IMO (ipad)
(Not that I don’t want one!) (ipad)
I like the colors, but it is not my style.(ipad)
pretty but the colors are a little too bright for me (ipad)
don’t love, don’t want (ipad)
whoa for the bright colors not so with the price. (ipad)
Really too bright for the price-point. They look cheap to me. (ipad)
Love the shape, hope they’ll make it in other colors (ipad)
Does it come in black? I’d snap it up in a second. (ipad)
Love Jil Sander’s fun pieces! A brilliant concept of combining minimalistic shapes with bright colors. (ipad)
I love crazy colors! (ipad)
The shape reminds me of a plastic bag. (ipad)
Love the brights this season but not a huge fan of the bag (ipad)
The Jil Sander fluro maxis however, with a simple t , divine (ipad)
So bright colours but i love the HOT PINK So beautiful!! (Ipad)
Colors shout – Spring is coming! well in a few months (ipad)
Can definitely see these with beige or taupe clothing! Love it! (ipad)
Can’t… help… myself.. I like it!

Great bright summer colors. (ipad)
Not for me. If they made it in nylon or canvas then it would make more sense to have them in such bright colours.
The colours are hot but a bit much! And the design is so simple, I don’t think I’d pay nearly $1K. (ipad)
Oh yes! Now this is spring fashion! LOVE!

These are hot ! Being practical, for a large hobo I hope they have a zippered closure rather than a snap closure as I am always scared that I will lose everything out of my snap closure bags ! (ipad)
It’s a bit too bright for me. (ipad)
Love, love, love (ipad)
love the neon colors! so bright and cute (ipad)
Waaayyyy too bright (ipad)
highlighters (ipad)
If I hadn’t spend too much on bags already I’d buy the yellow one in a heartbeat – love it!
Great colors. Fun, fun, fun! (ipad)
allergic to these colors (ipad)
dont think i can pull off the neon colors (ipad)
oh this is fun indeed!
but where’s the blue shade?? (ipad)
Cute bags, but I’d quickly get tired of the intense jelly bean colors. Perhaps if I lived in Miami? (ipad)
such beautiful colors (ipad)
i think i would wear the pink one all summer (ipad)
🙂 (ipad)
love it (ipad)
yellow would be my second choice (ipad)
and then the turq 🙂 (ipad)
I’m not to sure about them but I like the turquiose (ipad)
too bright! (ipad)
i must. have. one. (ipad)
Love the yellow!! (ipad)
Love the saturated colors .. but I’d have to see the design in person
love the color of the bag!!! (ipad)
what pops of color! (ipad)
Love the bight colors I ‘d go for the green or the pink (ipad)
Fugly IMO.. (iPad)
they look fun, but too expensive for something so plain yet flashy at once. (ipad)
I adore the colors from this season. Just imagine carrying on the of pyramid bags inside this lucious hobo. Too cute. (ipad)
fun colors but not a fan of the shape(ipad)
Nice but for that price point, I would rather have a Goyard St Louis in a fun color (ipad).
scary colors (ipad)
Such summery colours. (ipad)
im a pink girl and i love this ! (ipad)
Eye catching colours but too expensive for me. (ipad)
How cool are these bags, I would absolutely love the pink one (ipad).
very cute bag for the summer. (ipad)
Holy bright bags! (ipad)
i love the bright colours ipad
Oh my gosh I j’adore these bags! They’re elegant, but so…effortless-looking! The colors are to die for; I’m not a huge fan of green, but the pink and yellow are delicious! Too pricey for me, but I will dream about them! [ipad]
They are as bright as a school bus. (ipad)
Yellow is awesome!! (ipad)
I think if neon is a trend this spring you will be able to find this bag a lot cheaper at places like target. (ipad)
I would like these colours if they were less neon-y because they would be more wearable. I love the design tho – simple yet beautiful. (ipad)
adore the colors(ipad)
i love love love the colors (ipad)
the pink one however is my favorite (ipad)
but i could totally use the green one for st. patricks (ipad)
looooove the colours! would totally buy a pink one (ipad)
and sport the yellow one during spring (ipad)
love those colors (ipad)
too bright for me…(ipad)
The colours are just… obnoxious. (ipad)
Im all for bright colors, but this is a major fail to me. (ipad)
