At the heart of the AW22 collection, Chiuri refines the DiorCamp bag with the iconic fluffy macrocannage stitching complemented by a soft and luminous finish.

Coach Coachies Collection
A fashionista’s best friend is her favourite designer bag. And now, your best friend can have its own quirky personality! Introducing the Coach Coachies, starring five unique and fashionable characters, each imbued with its own distinct charm. Taking the form of the limited-edition Rogue bag, the Coachies family embodies the brand’s playful and optimistic essence with eccentric details such as blinking eyes, bushy eyebrows, and cheeky smiles. The crew consists of Groovie the free spirit, Dreamie the sassy beauty, Sparkie the perky leader of the pack, Sweetie the precious cutie, and Winkie the mischievous joker.
Tory Burch Kira
By the hazy cityscape of New York, Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney fronts her second Tory Burch campaign featuring the cult-favourite Kira handbag. As she drifts along the Hudson River on a boat, Sweeney carries three Kira styles—the classic black Kira shoulder bag, a lemon-yellow Kira mini bag, and the brand-new square Kira crossbody bag with vertical quilting on a cream canvas. Timeless and versatile, the bags are the epitome of effortless elegance.
Gucci Lovelight bags
Express the joyous warmth of romance on your arms with the dreamy bags of Gucci’s Lovelight collection, featuring a selection of the Maison’s signature designs evoking all the effervescent shades of love and adoration. The Gucci Bamboo 1947 bag, for one, sees a flirty transformation with heart-shaped cut-outs and light-catching studs reflecting the gleamy eyes of the enamoured. Joining the romantic ode, the mini Gucci Diana totes adorn whimsical motifs with lovely hues of cream and baby blue, while the medium totes encapsulates the sentiment of being ‘Loved’ in its rivet details.
Saint Laurent Manhattan Small Shoulder Bag
For those who prefer ageless classics, you can never go wrong with Saint Laurent’s Manhattan Small Shoulder Bag. Its sleek silhouette flaunts minimal sophisticated details with gold metal hardware that exudes mature elegance, balanced by an impeccably polished calfskin leather with a glossy finish that radiates a modish allure.
Balenciaga Crush Bag
The Hourglass bag, a Balenciaga staple, has been introduced to a sister collection that has certainly become the new fan-favourite of the year. A relaxed, everyday version of its antecedent, the Crush bag is crafted with exceptionally supple leather characterised by diagonal quilts to emphasise its tactility. The bag’s crinkled finish and soft form take the unmistakable curved figure and pointed edges of the Hourglass, but with a pliability that allows it to expand and collapse with pressure. It comes in three sizes, as well as a choice of silver or gold chain straps that can be worn effortlessly across the body, or looped and doubled for shoulder carry.
Bottega Veneta Mini Cabat
Bottega Veneta’s Cabat family has been graced with a new addition of the Mini Cabat, reinterpreting the House’s most iconic bag with fresh dimensions. Retaining all the signature details and exceptional craftsmanship of the classic Cabat, the Mini Cabat collection is woven by hand from strips of Lambskin Intecciato leather and kept completely unlined with an immaculate, seamless finish. Its simplistic, yet intricate design flaunts a timeless appeal that somehow feels modern and classic simultaneously—a unique flair of the Mini Cabat that makes it such a significant piece.
Louis Vuitton Bubblegram
In the sunny season of summer, Louis Vuitton unveiled the playful Bubblegram collection presenting dashing leather goods that flaunt a stunning smooth finish with a bouncy, cloud-like touch. The collection comes in four models—namely Papillon, Alma, Over the Moon, and Wallet on Strap—each emblazoned with the French Maison’s motifs. Design and texture aside, the Bubblegram collection would not be without its youthful and lively assortment of bubblegum shades such as Ice blue, Dragon Fruit, Snow, Banana, and Black. Additionally, the collection also boasts strong details with gold chains for Papillon and Over the Moon bags, as well as sporty-chic shoulder straps enhanced with new typography.
