Mlouye Pleated Tool Bag
This Turkish brand is well-known among the elites of the world for their structured, 3D designs. And this special pleated tool bag by the brand is both, noticeably chic and subtly safe.
It’s multifunctional, versatile, and stylish–all qualities we admire. You can wear the bag in four distinct ways because of its several straps and adjustability:
1. Secure it across your chest like a crossbody purse.
2. Sling it over your shoulder so you can go about your day with ease.
3. Wear it around your waist with a belt to keep your personal belongings close to hand while out.
4. Detach the straps and carry it as a wristlet bag or clutch.
Despite its unassuming colourway, the accordion-like pattern in the facade make it a stylishly structured piece. You can add it as a finishing touch to your workwear look or a posh evening attire.
Mlouye Helix Bag
The perfect blend of artwork and minimalism, this Helix Bag is must-have in any wardrobe. The straps of this unique spherical bag swirl around in an array of pastel shades that are soothing and feminine. The whirlwind spin bowler pattern reminds us of softly blowing spring wind.
The top handle of the bag connects discreetly to the main facade, so you can detach and hang it while the shoulder strap is in use. Built to last with a soft leather outside, suede inside, and a drawstring closure, your belongings will stay safe and secure as you frolic around Europe.
Rosantica Primula Bag
The Primula bag by Milan accessories brand Rosantica is a truly unique masterpiece. It features the brand’s trademark round cage shape with floral white appliqués that cover the surface, highlighted with spherical gold embellishments acting as flower buds that contrast against the stark white patterns.
This showstopper is topped off with a slim gold round top handle. Accented with primrose daisies, wear this white metal and leather clutch with your evening wear outfits or with your elegant ethnic wear.
Marzook Crystal Pill Bag
Marzook–a Lebanese brand–has gained a lot of recognition of their signature pill bags. Playing on the shape of a pill, these magnificent tube-shaped pieces feature whimsical pink Swarovski crystals set in hand-cast resin.
The pink clutch is finished with gold-tone brass closure with a mirror finish. Toss in only your essentials and get ready for a night out unlike any other.
0711 Checked Nino
If you’ve heard of the brand 0711, then you know their signature handbags–plexiglass frames featuring traditional weaving patterns. But this Checked Nino bag is a hidden gem amongst the Georgian designer’s curation.
Made with a green and grey plaid wood, this tote bag entirely of fabric. It features a three-button closure and a scrunched vegan leather top handle. The interesting mix of materials plays with the contrast of shape and structure–making this bag a one-of-a-kind treasure piece.
Nita Suri Lia Mini Bag
Nita Suri loves to play with shapes, a point that’s clearly visible in her geometrical designs. The iconic Lia bag features four panels that come together in the shape of a pyramid, topped with two handles and a drawstring closure.
Reinventing their iconic silhouette in a mini shape, this bag is of soft sheep leather. It’s a statement piece that you can carry in multiple ways–crossbody, in hand or on your waist.
Lend a distinct character and attitude to your every look with the triangular shape of the Lia.
Mary Al Terna Moon Tote
