The Find: Jay-Z founded Rocawear in 1999, and by the mid-2000s the women's line was making exactly this: a compact patent flap bag with a chain-link strap and the RW script logo cast into a squared silver plate. What makes this one worth chasing is the color. Olive green patent is far scarcer than the black and brown these were mostly made in, and mossy green is the shade the current revival keeps reaching for. The small shoulder bag is back as the defining Y2K silhouette, and this is that shape in a color nobody else has.
The Details:
