Travel-Ready Treasures: Jet-Set in Style
For the modern traveler, luxury is in the details. Whether you’re escaping for a weekend or embarking on a longer adventure, the right bag can elevate the experience. The Hermès 32 cm Rouge H Fjord Leather HAC, the original travel bag from the iconic French Maison, offers a spacious and structured design. Meanwhile, for those who want to channel their inner Jane Birkin, the Hermès Travel Birkin 50 cm in Étoupe Clemence Leather brings signature style to your getaway, effortlessly sitting atop rolling luggage. For a lighter, equally high-impact option, Louis Vuitton remains a travel icon. The Louis Vuitton x NIGO Giant Damier Keepall Bandoulière 50 and the Virgil Abloh Damier Distorted Canvas Keepall Bandoulière 55 make bold statements, all while offering practicality. Paired with the Louis Vuitton Horizon Rolling Luggage, you can glide through the airport in ultimate style.
Glam Night Out: Dazzle After Dark
When styling a night out, your accessories should seamlessly complement your look—effortless, chic, and fuss-free. Sleek shoulder bags, crossbody designs, and chic top handles allow you to dance and mingle with ease. For timeless elegance, the Hermès White Swift Leather Kelly Pochette offers a crisp, clean look, as the Hermès Black Chèvre Leather Kelly Elan embraces the east-west trend with understated appeal. For a touch of glamour, the Chanel Black Quilted Lambskin Mini Flap stands out with its versatile styling options, while the Hermès Box Calf Leather Médor Clutch allows you to embrace this season’s chocolate brown craze with a hint of gold. Perhaps the crème de la crème, the Hermès Doré Chèvre Chamkilight Constance 18, will dazzle effortlessly against any ensemble.
Workhorse Wonders: Power and Practicality
Finding the right bag for your 9 to 5 can be just as demanding as the work itself. Durable materials like textured leather and coated canvas stand up to the daily grind, while spacious totes hold everything from laptops to agendas. The Hermès 35cm Cassis Epsom Leather Birkin and Hermès 35cm Bleu Indigo Togo Leather Birkin offer sophistication with ample storage, while the Goyard Tan & Black Saigon Tote is a stylish, functional choice for busy days. For a more polished look, the Hermès 25cm Bleu Saphir Epsom Leather Kelly Sellier strikes the perfect balance of elegance and practicality. Meanwhile, the Louis Vuitton Metallic Silver Epi Leather Alma PM adds a modern touch to your daily routine. With these designs, power, and practicality go hand in hand.
For the Collector: Rare and Coveted Gems
Among the world of luxury bags, certain designs rise above as rare and coveted treasures. Perhaps the most sought-after Hermès bags this season, the Sable Doblis Suede & Shearling Teddy Kelly Pochette and its larger sibling, the Limited Edition Gold Veau Doblis Suede Teddy Kelly, offer tactile luxury and exclusivity. The Hermès Mini Kelly in Doré Chèvre Chamkilight Leather, with its gleaming golden hue, provides a compact yet bold statement, and the 35cm Fauve Barenia Leather & Osier Wicker Kelly Picnic blends chic practicality with signature elegance. For those yet to score a special order, the Hermès Special Order Horseshoe Swift Leather Kelly Pochette is a true collector’s prize. Perfect for curating a personal archive or simply admiring as masterpieces, these bags are the ultimate addition to any collection.
Fashion Icons: Vintage Classics to Love Again
Fashion has its icons, both past and present, but it’s the vintage classics that continue to captivate and inspire. These timeless pieces transcend trends, remaining just as relevant and stylish today as when first introduced. The Chanel Beige Lambskin Medium Classic Flap Bag from 1991-1994 remains the most sought-after Chanel silhouette of all time. Meanwhile, alternatives, such as the Chanel Brown Quilted Leather Camera Bag and the Chanel Metallic Gold Camera Bag, capture the brand’s signature style in equally chic ways and continue to shine brightly today. Moving into the 2000s, the Chanel Pink & Black Cambon Pochette channels serious Y2K vibes — a look that still feels fresh today. Finally, the Hermès 42cm Vert Chartreuse Clemence Leather JPG Shoulder Birkin from 2006 continues to gain momentum in modern collections, especially with its revival in Hermès’ Spring-Summer 2024 collection. These vintage treasures are not to be missed.
