Much of Yohji Yamamoto‘s energy and exuberance gets lost in the designer’s predominantly dark palette, but it shines through occasionally. Case in point: Y-3’s latest accessory is a nylon Eytys tote bag, complete with a adjustable straps and cozy carry-handles; the real standout aspect here, though, is the design on the face of the bag.

The ‘self-portrait’ features drawings of 72 year-old designer Yohji Yamamoto in four distinct poses, running the gamut from cool, calm and collected to an ecstatic handstand. These poses, coupled with the sketch styling of the drawings reflect a youthful energy and mobility — the perfect illustrations for an on-the-go bag. Head over to Oki-Ni now to step your accessory game all the way up for $180 USD.
