* Prada introduces this slate grey tote bag for SS23. Designed in slightly crinkled leather, it features two top handles and the iconic triangle logo on the front.
* This bag with casual, everyday allure is made of glossy nappa leather with a natural finish. The handmade wrinkled effect contrasts with the concept of a rigid construction, reinterpreting an everyday object that can be worn without constraints. Presented for the Spring Summer 2023 collection, the accessory is decorated with the enameled metal triangle logo.

Refined ease and elevated minimalism define By Malene Birger’s style, and the Oddas tote bag is proof. The leather silhouette is enhanced by a curved top, while a generous main compartment adds a practical touch.

THE DEFINITIVE INVESTMENT BUY: Designed by Jean-Louis Dumas in 1983 with actress Jane Birkin in mind, the Birkin bag has since been considered the epitome of handbags. Constructed with a spacious trapeze-shaped body and delicate metal feet for added structure, this Birkin 40 version is crafted from cognac-brown calf leather and finished with polished gold-tone hardware.

The quilted bag is a cornerstone of the COS collection. Designed to be slung across the body or worn on your shoulder, this oversized version has enough room for everything you need for an overnight stay, and then some. It’s crafted from 100% recycled fabric in the signature pillowy texture and offered in an enduring black shade that will go with everything.

The COS Autumn Winter 2023 collection is anchored by directional accessories like this tote. Supersized and ultra-slouchy in shape, it’s designed with a wide shoulder strap, tonal topstitching and an inner zip pocket to keep your valuables on hand. It’s crafted from butter-soft chrome-free leather tanned a deep-black hue and has polished silver-tone hardware.

Hand-stitched by artisans in Spain, this piece reprises the multifaceted design of Loewe’s best-known bag family: the Puzzle. Crafted from smooth leather, this Puzzle Fold XXL tote bag features top handles and a capacious interior.

Straight off the runway, the Crush Large shoulder bag from Balenciaga is set to be a coveted piece. Made in Italy from calf leather, it features signature logo hardware and a floral print.
