Your definitive guide to the season’s need-to-know bags.
Our AW23 collection centres on the optimistic spirit of retrofuturism, and the season’s bags capture the mood just as successfully as their footwear counterparts. All-new silhouettes sit alongside returning favourites, each one meticulously crafted in Italy from the finest materials. From classic carryalls in smooth leather to glossy, after-dark clutches, there’s a bag to suit your every new-season need. Here, we spotlight autumn’s hero styles – and discuss how to wear them now.
All Eyes on Audrey
Audrey is our take on the all-time classic top handle bag and has been a favourite since we first debuted our collection of handbags in November 2022. Complete with a crystal-embellished crest, it works just as well for evening as it does for daytime. This season, its rectangular silhouette is presented in a number of covetable finishes. First up is can’t-go-wrong black calf leather – endlessly versatile, we think it’s perfect for the office, particularly when teamed with the oh-so-sleek Jacqueline flat. This iteration is available in three sizes – mini, small, and medium – one for every eventuality. Each size comes with a gold chain crossbody strap for maximum flexibility.
The Audrey Mini is the daintiest member of the family, its dimensions ideal for carrying just the bare essentials. As well as black calf, this version comes in burgundy embossed patent – match it with the tonal Maureen or Una for a day-to-night look – as well as directional distressed denim. Look to the Yasmin platform, Una sandal, and Misha slingback in the same baby blue fabric for a more-is-more approach to event dressing.
Say Hello to Olivia
From chocolate to cinnamon, it is safe to say that brown has seen a fashion renaissance of late. Tap the trend whilst also making an investment in timeless style with Olivia. Made from buttery soft calf leather, this elegant shoulder bag spells ‘future heirloom’, and is sure to maintain its sartorial value. Roomy enough for everyday use, it has a practical flap front while our signature crest buckle lends it a high-polish finish. Wear this truly versatile bag with everything from the Norah mule to the Maureen flat, both in the same irresistible toffee hue.
Vivien is Party Ready
A metallic bag is a key accessory for party season. The Vivien, in gold embossed leather, is a classic clutch that’s perfect for stylish soirees. A light-reflecting ripple pattern subtly nods to retrofuturism’s fascination with shimmer and shine. Tuck Vivien beneath your arm after dark, styling it with the Una sandal in the same glistening finish. Alternatively, use the pretty chain strap and sling it over your shoulder to elevate a casual jeans and T-shirt ensemble by day.
Simply Divine
Of all of AW23’s handbags, it is undoubtedly Divine that stands out as the embodiment of the season’s retro-futurist theme. With a curved, asymmetric silhouette and an octagonal crystal disc embellishment, this is arm candy with avant-garde appeal. The standout sunset-hued, metallic nappa finish piles on the glamour, and a black satin version feels ultra-luxurious.
Divine can be effortlessly paired with footwear from the collection. Vilma in black satin sports the same disc decoration, while our ombré finish adorns knee-high boot Markle, and the curved heel Maya pumps. Whichever direction you go in, prepare to make an impact.
Here Comes Hollie
There’s nothing quite like a red handbag to inject a shot of feel-good colour into pared-back outfits. Hollie, in a sumptuous wine hue, is made from grained calf leather that’s accented by gold hardware. This classic, rectangular silhouette has a strap fastening top that’s punctuated by our signature crest embellishment and is the ideal size for day or evening.
This compact carryall will seamlessly transition from day to evening. We love it worn with a white shirt, black tailored trousers, and our Tina flats for breakfast meetings. Meanwhile, switch up your look for after-work dinners by slipping into the Ilenia platforms in lustrous burgundy satin.
