These Minimalist ‘It’ Bags Are Future Classics
By Sarah Macken
Classic, timeless and minimal: these bags are worth the investment …
French brand APC is a go-to for sleek, affordable bags that go with everything. Find the brand at Electra boutique in Donnybrook. Black Ninon recycled drawstring bag, APC, €255, at Electra.
Bohemia may be back in style, but that doesn’t mean you need to go heavy on hardware. A large bucket bag in perfectly soft suede, the Belted Bucket Bag by Liffner, above, boasts a neat buckle detail. Because, often with the best minimalist bags, it’s not about an absence of hardware, rather the right amount of it. Cinnamon suede bucket bag, €625; www.liffner.co.
Vying for cult status, just like The Row’s Margaux bag, the buzzed about Rodeo bag by Balenciaga is reminiscent of a vintage briefcase, boasting a slouchy shape to bolster the effortlessness of your outfit. Black Rodeo medium shoulder bag, Balenciaga, €3,800; www.net-a-porter.com.
Speaking of the aforementioned bag by The Row, the high street is upping its game when it comes to fuss-free, simple designs and coveted bowling bag shapes. Dark brown suede bowling bag, €290, at COS.
New to Brown Thomas this season is London-based leather goods brand DeMellier, which has a steady parlance with the Instagram set. The brand’s New York tote, with its triangular fold details, reminds of Céline’s iconic Trapeze. Black leather New York tote bag, DeMellier, €620, at Brown Thomas.
