Spring’s most conspicuous carryall? By far, it’s the bevy of clear, cool designer shopping bags—the kind you might grab at the grocery store but certainly not in a Céline or Prada boutique. That is, until now.
Labels left and right, from Saks Potts to Raf Simons, are cleverly reinventing the everyday emblem to challenge our ideas of luxury while turning out something achingly covetable. Sadly, they don’t come free with purchase—but they’re a fraction of the price of, say, a slouchy leather shoulder bag. So show off where you shop (and showcase all your stuff) with a sturdy and chic tote that’s equal parts playful and weatherproof (after all, we’re heading into April, and you know how the saying goes). And who knows: Maybe there’s deeper meaning in the designer see-through shopper. In these uncertain times, transparency is key—even if it’s only to let the world peep into your purse. I, for one, will really look forward to getting caught in the rain.
Below, nine chic and clear shopping bags to shop now.
