The cult buy: A sculptural bag

L-R: By Far; Marni; Staud; Pop & Suki; Staud

The humble handbag has come over all cerebral this season, as architectural, sculptural and abstract designs more akin to modern art than traditional holdalls were used to enhance SS19’s most refined looks. These pieces might be precious, but like all great artworks they’re open to interpretation, so pair them with somber suiting, ethereal dresses or blue jeans. To choose yours, simply channel your favorite artist: fans of Greek ceramics will love Staud’s amphora shapes, while minimalists will gravitate towards By Far’s Donald Judd-esque designs. If you’re more of a surrealist, Marni’s double purse is the style for you. But for real connoisseurs, there’s no need to stop at one – consider it building your collection.
