Take two things I dislike - nylon and the straight-out-of-the-granny-glossary words “knitting bag” - and what do you get? A surprisingly decent Dolce & Gabbana Ruched Nylon Knitting Bag. High-quality woven nylon keeps this charcoal-hued purse looking suitably expensive and well-made, with black leather trim and ruched leather handles for extra polish; peek inside and you’ll be treated to a glimpse of animal print fabric, in case you forgot which designers you’re dealing with. Pintucking gives the nylon a puffy, cloud-like effect, but it’s all in good fun. Overall, I think the purse has a style that’s both stripped down and avant garde, making a good match for downtown gals of the skinny jean/black shrunken jacket/loose tee/Starbucks cup persuasion. Those seeking mega-watt glamour or a show-stopping status bag, however, may be a tad underwhelmed. Available for $1,295 at Eluxury.com.
