Ben’s Bag Edit: 8 Designer Bags You Can’t Miss from SS26
Straight from the runway
Spring has officially arrived, and the season’s most coveted pieces are finally hitting stores. From runway-ready jackets to statement shoes, there’s plenty to admire. But the bags, as always, steal the show. Here’s a closer look at the season’s standout bags that are too good to miss.
Chanel Bowling bag
“You’ve probably seen all the new Chanel bags online—the crocodile-embossed tote, the flap with double straps—but it’s the bowling bag that really stands out. Not only is it big enough to carry everything you need, but it’s also stylish enough to take anywhere, from errands to city strolls or even a quick weekend escape.”

Dior Lady Dior bag
“While the Lady Dior has always been ‘that bag’, this green clover-embroidered version takes it even further. The motif feels intentional—it’s like a tiny wink to Jonathan Anderson’s Irish roots. And the way the silver hardware complements the green leather? I’m obsessed.”

Versace Pivot bucket bag
“The Pivot bucket bag from Versace feels like a little piece of fashion history, especially knowing it’s Dario Vitale’s only season with the Italian house. From the Medusa logo to the chain detail and the rich colour, every element hits nostalgic notes. And unlike most bucket bags with drawstrings, this one opens with a magnetic leather tab, which makes everyday wear effortless while staying chic.”

Delvaux Brillant Tempo S
“One thing I like about Delvaux is how it refreshes its classics. The Brillant bag has evolved into versions like the Brillant MM and Brillant Tempo, and now there’s the Brillant Tempo S. This one stands out for its slightly slouchier top handle, giving it a more relaxed feel. The colour options are just as tempting, from pastel tones like Brume to bolder shades like Orage and Cinnamon.”

Loewe Amazona 180 bag
“When Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez updated the Loewe Amazona 180 for their debut show, I wasn’t immediately sold. The single-strap placement looked awkward, but its versatility wins me over—swap in a longer strap, and it works perfectly as a crossbody. The subtle Loewe anagram tucked inside adds just enough personality without being in-your-face.”

Fendi Peekaboo ISeeU bag
“If you’re looking for an everyday bag with a little twist, the Fendi Peekaboo ISeeU is it. This brown version is my favourite—purple sequins peek mischievously like a playful secret, while the other compartments are lined in soft suede. It’s the kind of detail that makes opening it a treat every time.”

Bottega Veneta Veneta bag
“When I think of Bottega Veneta, Jodie or Andiamo usually come to mind, but the Veneta bag has been quietly sneaking onto my radar. I love how it looks structured at first glance, yet softens beautifully with wear. The mini makes a cute statement, the maxi fits a laptop, and the medium hits that sweet spot for daily use.”
SHOP HERE
Louis Vuitton Noé Trunk
“I had the chance to check out Louis Vuitton’s takeover at the Kimpton Naluria a few weeks ago, and while I couldn’t take my eyes off the Speedy and Keepall, it was the Noé Trunk that truly captured my attention. Bucket-shaped bags have always been my weakness, and this one—with smooth calfskin and gold-toned details—proves a bag doesn’t need logos to make a statement.”
