Called the Cabat, or work bag, this
supple tote is well on its way to joining the house's signature hobo bag,
Hermes' Kelly and Chanel's chain-strapped shoulder bag in the accessories
pantheon. Using the brand's labour-intensive intrecciato technique,
in which fettucine-sized strips of leather are woven into intricate lattice
works, the bag takes two artisans and as many days to complete. As a result,
only 200 are produced a season. At $26,000-$35,000 a piece, you'll have to
join Jennifer Lopez, Madonna and Kylie Minogue on the waiting list.
