Jil Sander is known the world over for its modern minimalism and simple, streamlined silhouettes, so amid this summer's edgier offerings, including heeled pumps in pastel shades and snakeskin sneakers, purists will be relieved to find a variety of classic handbags in the label's signature shade, black.
Our favourite style has to be the petite yet perfectly formed square calf-leather handbag with chrome accents, a timeless classic whose quality is evident in its demure appearance.
This piece stays true to Jil Sander's core values, established in 1968 and honoured to this day, by being both easily coordinated and refined in its design. Team with a black tuxedo for a 21st-century take on the Jil Sander aesthetic.
Metal and calf-leather evening bag, €1,550
