Acne’s got a brand new bag

Fashion

The Jensen boot is a perennial favorite on the feet of fashion insiders, the shearling-trimmed biker jacket is a shortcut to artful aloofness and the South straight-leg jeans are consistent sellouts – Acne Studios just knows how to do cool. But not in a flash-in-the-pan way, no. It is effortless, I-go-my-own-way style. So then, imagine if the label’s co-founder and creative director, Jonny Johansson, turned his eye to bags. Did you conjure up something as chic as this? Thankfully, the understated yet distinctive Musubi bags are not figments of your imagination, but the real fashion deal and already firm favorites with fashion polymaths such as Ada Kokosar and Amanda Shadforth. Just how Johansson hits the sweet spot between timely and timeless every time we’ll never know, but we’ll always be grateful.
