Jil Sander’s pared down aesthetic appeals to a lot of different kinds of women. Her pieces are versatile enough to be loved by posh uptown types, and crazy avant garde fashion loving types alike. The Madame is a good example of that versatility, although it veers a little to the conservative side.
The beige leather has a fine, sandy texture that is lovely, and I love the way the smooth-grained accents contrast just slightly enough to add a little extra interest. The geometric gold hardware accents the color of the bag beautifully, as do the subtle shapes of the leather attachments.
The classic shape of this tote is so refined and elegant that it will really work not just as an errand running accessory, but as an everyday bag, as well. Although at $1,635, it isn’t going to make it into the closets of that many women.
