As fashion month draws to a close, one front-row regular was Alaïa’s ‘Le Coeur’ bag. Crafted from supple leather in a palette of red, black or silver, the heart-shaped cult item has been adorning the shoulders of our favorite aesthetes. Don’t let its pretty shape belie its practicality: it’s the perfect size for essential items – phone, keys, credit cards – and comes with an elegant adjustable strap. Wear it draped over your shoulder or as a cross-body bag while on the go to add an irreverent touch to any outfit.

The romantic shape makes it an ideal choice for date nights or gifting to a loved one. Taking note from Marie von Behrens-Felipe, style the black leather version with an LBD.
The dainty handle complements the delicate straps of a slinky slip dress, and the bag’s silver hardware matches silver-tipped slingback heels. If the red edition is your pick, look to Naomi Elizée for styling cues; the vivid hue adds a pop of color to a black midi dress and pairs perfectly with a bold red lip.

Alternatively, contrast the romantic appeal of ‘Le Coeur’ with a rebellious aesthetic. Yoyo Cao pairs hers with a leather jacket, mini skirt and chunky Oxford shoes, while Sophia Roe wears the black version to add an eclectic detail to smart tailoring.
As for the striking silver version of ‘Le Coeur’, try pairing it with a chainmail dress and platforms for a night out, or as a directional detail to an understated look.
