This Raf Simons PVC shopping tote is an exclusive design for high-end retailer Voo Berlin. The collaborative statement accessory boasts a transparent plastic design that is accented with the designer's logo and America-themed typography. The bag is also sold alongside a simple, black dustbag which can be added as an insert if looking to keep the accessory's contents out of view.

Known for his signature shopping tote silhouettes -- both during his time at Jil Sander and at his own label -- Raf Simons remixes a classic design for Voo Berlin. This limited edition tote is also reflective of the fashion industry's current translucent design obsession which has also been adopted by labels like [Celine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mschf-3), [Off-White](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-baller) and [Marine Serre](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heartbeat-campaign) in the past year.

Priced at €148.00, the high-end accessory marries form with function and is a luxe take on classic supermarket carryalls.
