LIFE IS SWEET LIKE CANNOLO
Playfulness and Sophistication
with ‘CANNOLO’ BAG by JIL SANDER
JIL SANDER's iconic ‘CANNOLO’ BAG is charming and sharp. Hand-crafted in different sizes, with adjustable belts and unique, sculptural buckles, it can be quickly transformed from handbag to
shoulder bag, from crossbody bag to pouch. Its attitude, versatility, and sophistication are found in the rich choice of colors and materials, from matte to shiny, making it ready for day and night, for formal and casual wear. The name, inspired by the Sicilian pastry, adds playfulness.
In collaboration with JIL SANDER, a series of portraits featuring 32 individuals of various generations and genders wearing iconic ‘CANNOLO’ BAG showcases the importance of self-expression and a positive outlook that JIL SANDER advocates.
Additionally, "THE CANNOLO INSTALLATION" will be held from October 11th to October 20th, and "THE CANNOLO POP-UP"will be held from October 16th to October 22nd. Take this opportunity to find your favorite ‘Cannolo’ bag. The tabloid magazine, "LIFE IS SWEET LIKE CANNOLO" will be distributed at the venue!
