Call it turning a necessity into an indulgence: Jil Sander has taken the humble lunch bag and rendered it in leather, rolling out the edges and giving it a chic, folded-down makeover with a magnetic clasp. The design does two very interesting things: It doesn’t venture far from the original, and it’s perfectly in sync with the fashion house’s minimalist roots. Forget recycling—this bag is a keeper.
