Check mates are rare designs that we need to see more often. Unlike single colors, they are unique, fun and mostly great for work and casual.

The Marni Check tote is one of the best detailed design I’ve encounter. The white window patterns and black stripes make it look like it’s made overly simple, but yet deceiving, and by staring longer anyone will recognize the comprehensive master work that this bag had gone through. And to strengthen my point of view, swap the bag to its side, just to see how the black stripe pattern is giving the zipper a spotlight of its own.

Stunning as it is, two zipper is attached, giving you the option to either open the bag on the right or on the left, so you can easily get access to whatever you are searching for. The zipper has a style of its own, black in white striped and that’s another proof that you are actually buying a highly completed detailed handbag. The Marni Check tote is the perfect stylish bag for work or a simple diner will make the lights shine upon you. Grab yours at SSENSE for $2,300.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Checkmate Tote
This bag was introduced by Marc Jacobs as the new spring summer collection of 2013. If you think the Marni is a simple bag, then think again about the Marc Jacobs checkmate. Fresh summer requires you to carry fresh handbags, this checkmate is as transparent as a tote can be, makes me reminding of Jil Sander’s style. The balanced light blue patterns is the perfect color for all your summer clothes, make it a blue tee, white tee, short skirt or even jeans with slippers on.

Marc Jacobs hasn’t disappoint us so far, a small Marc Jacob logo plate on the bottom right add much value to this tote and keep in my mind that it is still perfect if you take it out in the next summer. ‘Take this bag’ for a walk on the beach or move together with your summer styles around the big cities. Complete your summer look with the Marc Jacobs checkmates at Shopbop for $198.
