NYDN: Brown-Bagging it just got a lot more expensive.
A top designer is hawking gussied up brown paper lunch bags for $290 a pop, and fashionistas are lining up to buy them.
The Jil Sander store in SoHo is already sold out of the Vasari sack, and you can’t buy it online either.
A black leather version retails for $630. W Magazine gushed that it’s “perfectly in sync with the fashion house’s minimalist roots. Forget recycling — this bag is a keeper.”
But style mavens on the street say that this bag is an accessory to a crime — grand theft.
With paper bags heating up the fashion world. Captiv8 decided to have a sale of its own, brown paper lunch bags – $0.25 ea! At a quantity of 1000, you still walk away with $40 for lunch over buying the $290 Jil Sander sack. Is that a deal or what!
