Try as we might to channel the sleek, silk-swathed Nü Woman inside, the truth is, we're really more maximalist at heart. Clashing colors, oversized silhouettes, patterns that sort of make our eyes hurt — these things bring joy to our sartorial souls. But, when we saw the new Imago-A lookbook, we vowed to double down on mastering that whole minimalism thing.
The line features teeny circle bags, oversized triangle-handle clutches, and pentagon-shaped crossbody purses in a super-restrained palette of black, white, silver, and, um, black-and-white. So Nü! Though the smaller sizes definitely would not hold all of our junk daily essentials, the larger options are deceptively roomy. We're guessing the two paperbacks and a deli sandwich we carry on our persons at all times would fit nicely.
