Currently there is an influx of new bags in the market, we rounded up 10 bags that we currently have our eyes on, see below!
1.
Loewe Flamenco Chain Mini leather clutch: $2,990
Yes, Loewe has other bags other than the cult classic puzzle bag. In my honest opinion, this bag (the flamenco) is extremely underrated. Crafted in the 70’s the bag was inspired by flamenco dancing, more specifically the frock on the dancer. Depending on creative direction the drawstrings have been revised throughout the years (from tassels to knots). Most importantly this bag is made with butter soft Napa leather obtaining their reputation for fine leather craftsmanship and status compared to their competitors

Normally, cross body bags are a hard pass but this bag is the exception to the rule. Creative director Heidi Silmane has successfully reintroduced the triomphe bag to a new audience with minor upgrades such as the double c gold hardware clasp and expanding color and material selections. Although the price tag is heavy, you are guaranteed to get your cost per wear, the equestrian inspired bag made with supple leather makes it a perfect everyday bag for the capsule wardrobe girl.

Simon Rocha Micro Star Bag $935
The original egg shaped pearl bag was the 2020 it bag of the year, fast forward 3 years later the new edition of their bag collection is the micro star bag. This bag is fun and different, similar to the original egg shaped bag the pearl strap acts as a bracelet when wrapped around the wrist, both straps are removable and can be worn as a clutch on its own. It adds flare to a mundane look and perfect for the creative dresser that values romanticism and subversive femininity. This is a guaranteed conversation starter.

This bag is for the fashion girl that goes into deep dives in fashion archives and loves fashion history.

Made in Italy with calf skin leather this bag is very popular among the Khaite and The Row girlies, this bag is extremely minimal, simple and most importantly- very well made. Although this bag may not turn heads in the street, it does exude an “in-the-know” energy having a cult following among “quiet” luxury fanatics. To us, the allure comes from its nostalgic appeal, looking like something straight from the 90’s, a bag the everyday metropolitan girl would wear marking it as timeless closet staple.

Montreal’s very own Jesse Dorsey and his wife and muse Wannasiri Kongman founded Boyy in 2006 marching to the beat of their own drum in a highly competitive market. The independent brand has experienced ample success with their signature simple yet bold buckle design making this bag easy to wear.
