I picture the spring fashion with flowers and more colors than the rainbow, but 3.1 Phillip Lim has other ideas. For the SS2013 Fashion week, the Boston satchel was shown in black and white speckle. Allow me to define it more specific, with natural cracked appearance unevenly distributed throughout the bag. Is it too much? I am speechless, but then again unusual designs are very inspirational and distinctive.

The first impression about the cracked leather might be: ‘Is it soft or hard?’. Well, even though the black cracks look more like dried-up paint, the material used is lambskin. Surprised? Knowing this, the new Boston bag actually looks quite good, doesn’t it? At Moda operandi for $975.
