Finding a perfect black bag that goes from work to play might be more challenging that you had thought but here is one Marc Jacobs you need to seriously consider. The Carla (probably named after the former supermodel French first lady, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy) exudes all the right aura of meaning business you want but it is at the same time, young and workable for play too. Made in Italy, entirely of leather at USD995. It’s been a while since we last tagged a bag HOT.
