The Structured Satchel

 

This season the must buy bag is the structured satchel which is both polished and chic, practical and versatile.  These double handled bags also have a long shoulder strap for added versatility. These bags tick all the boxes that make a timeless classic:

1) Givenchy Antigona – this bag needs no introduction and just gets stronger each season with new animations and details:

Available in Small, Medium and large.  Prices start at $1,995 for the small…..

2) YSL CHYC Cabas in the Mini – this is the only size in the CHYC cabas family with a strap.  But don’t let the name fool you, the mini isn’t mini at all, it is a generous size that will easily fit all your essentials.   Available in the softer Ranch leather ($2,195) or the firm “Mini Tweed” version ($2,250) this bag is definitely very chic and will take you from day through to easily easily.  It is really perfect size. You can’t go wrong with this one.

Currently available in Mouse(grey) and black mini tweed.

3) Alexander Wang Jamie.  Introduced the this season, we predict a winner.  A polished style with the Wang edge, this bag is perfect for the girl that doesn’t like to try too hard.  It is a comparatively light bag and so for all the girls that have complained about the heaviness of the studded bags this is the one you need to try.  Prices start at $1070

4) Alexander Wang Pelican.  Another hit from the new FW12 season.  This sleek  carryall is sophisticated and timelessly chic. $1,148

Available in Black and Bandage.

Alexander Wang - Emile

 

The Emile is a structured new style for SS11.  We have two sizes in black and dove grey.  This bag comes in Rose Gold hardware this season.  The Dove Grey colour and the Rose gold hardware are both seasonal colours, so get these while you still can – there aren’t many pieces left.

Alexander Wang - VELVET CUT

We have received so many questions asking us about the "velvet Cut". The Velvet Cut is a leather which has a finely cut surface to create a short dense pile - soft velvet-like finish. The velvet-like surface is further enhance by the use full grain leather that that retains the natural grain of the leather. The results are stunning, almost fabric-like. We will let the photos speak for themselves.
