High-fashion and cult favorite fashion brand [KARA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kara) released a new transparent PVC Pinch Tote as a part of its new Spring/Summer line.

The new bag has one-of-a-kind [tonal detailing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marc-jacobs-tote-bag), that is noticeable atop the see-through body material. The handbag was made with a vinyl material and includes serrated edges with [calfskin carry handles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/river-suede-shoulder-bag) in a stylish off-white shade. Adding silver-toned hardware accents, the brand created a contrast that is sleek and pairs delicately with the logo-embossed calfskin patched pocket. Finally, the bag is finished off with a small logo engraved round button on the front.

The new PVC Pinch Tote from KARA is being sold exclusively online with SSENSE for $325 for a limited time.
