ALAÏA Le Teckel PVC Shoulder Bag

ALAÏA’s Le Teckel PVC shoulder bag leads the edit because it takes the familiar long, narrow bag and removes the expected leather. The clear body, yellow and green floral print and transparent strap all belong to the same idea. Its narrow shape keeps the flowers contained and makes an unusual material surprisingly easy to carry.\n\nSaint Laurent’s Le 37 mini leather-trimmed beaded wood shoulder bag arrives at the same destination by a very different route. Its black beads form an open grid, broken up by black leather trim and handle. The small gold Cassandre gives the front a crisp focal point. This is a compact black bag with far more to look at than an unbroken leather panel. The open beading gives black a pattern and lets light pass through it.
