When it comes to luxury bags we all have our favourite brands.
Whether you’re a committed Chanel buff or a devoted Gucci disciple, there’s no questioning the place of those timeless investment handbags sitting in our wardrobes (dustbag and all).
But we are first to admit, we can also be creatures of habit.
So, if your New Year’s resolution is to try something new, here are five lesser-known luxury designer bags you need to know about.
Puffer Goya Padded Leather Shoulder Bag, $3,350 at Net-A-Porter
Loewe may lean more towards mainstream luxury, but its one particular bag from the collection that we’d argue is underrated: the Puffer Goya Bag.
Recently spotted on the shoulder on Emily Ratajkowski, we’re predicting this will be the next ‘it-bag’ for style savants in the know.
JW Anderson Bumper-15 Colour Block Shoulder Bag, $1000 at FARFETCH
It was an elaborate collection of accessories that first catapulted JW Anderson into the sartorial spotlight and onto the London Fashion Week runway. So, it’s no surprise their collection of bags are worthy of investment, starting with this season’s puffy styles.
Paco Rabanne Metallic Mini Bag, $1,360 at FARFETCH
We’re no strangers to Paco Rabanne, but it’s their current collection of bags that deserves our utmost attention. If you’re after a statement style that sparkles and has sartorial longevity, you can’t go past their dazzling metallic minis.
Yu Mei Scrunchie VI Crossbody Bag, $619 at David Jones
Launching into New York’s Bergdorf Goodman this year solidified, New Zealand brand Yu Mei’s status as a label you needed in your wardrobe. Sleek, sophisticated, and simple, they’re bags you can call on for countless occasions.
