Effortless, modern and relaxed are traits that dominate many bag styles today. Most of the time, save for the occasional soiree or black tie event, people go for versatile pieces that can be used throughout the day.

These handbags are practical, stylish and contemporary, each with their own little quirks that make them unique.

A thing of beauty

Loewe’s new Luna bag is inspired by the crescent moon (Luna is the Spanish word for moon), and is a fresh take on the classic hobo bag, an everyday carry-all that sits comfortably on the shoulder.

The Luna is available in black, pecan, avocado green, ash grey satin calfskin and a jacquard strap, with metallic sliding eyelets that allow it to be personalised with additional shoulder strap or charms.

The next iteration

Salvatore Ferragamo’s Cage bag is a creative twist on the classic bucket bag, with a modern flair.

This fresh iteration, composed of an outer cage with a soft leather drawstring pouch inside, is lit up in intense seasonal hues and the eye-catching structure made of smooth, Italian calf leather.

Flower power

Combining classic elegance with House modernity, Dior’s Medium Lady D-Lite bag in bright yellow and green is fully embroidered with the yellow and green D-Flower Pop motif that embodies the collection’s colourful universe.

Featuring a wide, reversible and removable embroidered shoulder strap, the medium Lady D-Lite bag can be carried by hand, worn over the shoulder or crossbody.

A real star

The Gucci Nojum collection, which takes its name from the Arabic word Nojum meaning “stars” casts a light on the leather goods world.

A selection of precious skins in timeless, yet contemporary pastel shades elevated with touches of gold and silver are featured on the House’s most renowned styles including the Gucci Bamboo 1947 bag.

City slicker

Finally, you can never go wrong with a large bag like this one from Kate Spade New York, called the manhattan floral jacquard tote.

Finished with a smooth leather trim, it has an open top with a dog-clip closure with several compartments for easy and convenient storage, and you can opt to get an adjustable shoulder strap.
