Latest Handbag Collection

There’s something quietly radical about Miu Miu’s latest handbag collection. While the brand is best known for its playful irreverence, this season reveals a deeper obsession of craft, and tactile finesse. From nappa leather quilted into sculptural folds to woven textures that feel closer to gallery work than beachwear, the bags carry a distinct sense of purpose. Miuccia Prada has long blurred the line between ‘pretty’ and powerful, but here, beauty is a design strategy.

What sets this collection apart is how considered everything feels. Colours and shapes are decisive, and the materials do the talking with suede, raffia, canvas, matelassé each rendered with startling clarity. And whether you’re looking at the lemon leather basket or the marble-grey Wander, the question lingers… has Miu Miu just redefined its own idea of beauty?

Styling Tips – How to Make the Most of Your New Handbag

• Let the Materials Lead  Choose lightweight knits, cotton tailoring or linen coordinates to draw out the textural tension in woven, suede or nappa bags.
• Keep Accessories Minimal  These handbags speak volumes. Avoid layering with heavy jewellery, think singular gold hoops or a fine chain.
• Play with Proportions  Oversized trousers and sharp blazers work beautifully with sculpted or structured designs like the Aventure or Joie.
• Weekend-Ready Raffia  Style raffia textures with basket-woven flats, high-rise shorts and crisp shirting.
• Evening Transitions  Transform day bags with a blazer and slingback heels to make them work harder after hours.

Designer Handbags With Soul

Amid the clatter of heels on Haussmannian avenues and the hush of Luxembourg Gardens, AMI Paris finds its rhythm. Since Alexandre Mattiussi founded the label in 2011, it has woven the city’s energy into leather and canvas, a kind of Parisian realism rendered through clean lines and thoughtful details. For Spring/Summer 2025, the bags channel that same quiet clarity, capturing both the city’s heritage and its forward stride.

You won’t find AMI plastered across TikTok or chasing viral trends. But within fashion circles, it holds a certain quiet power, the sort of brand people discover through stylists, not slogans.

New Bags for Summer

Nearly a century since Aldo Furlanetto laid the foundations of this Italian maison in 1927, the brand continues to weave its narrative through leather and thread, crafting luxury that resonates with the pragmatist and the dreamer. This season, Furla beckons us into a realm where tradition pirouettes with innovation, where each bag emerges as a distinct chapter in a story.

From the sunlit palette of the Mediterranean to the crisp geometry of modern design, these creations promise to adorn the summer with a rare blend of class and spirit. Here is a selection of just some of the stunning new additions to the Furla lineup.

Heritage & Innovation

The Nuvola Mini in greige leather arrives like a soft breeze over a parched landscape, effortless, essential, transformative.

Supple leather yields to the touch, while an adjustable strap allows you to carry as a top-handle or crossbody bag.

A relic reimagined, the 1927 Mini Crossbody in panna leather evokes dawn over the Arno. Its frame is a homage to archival roots, bears the gilded Arch logo, an emblem of legacy.

McQueen’s Latest Collections

Alexander McQueen has long been a house that thrives on duality of delicate and the defiant. Under Creative Director Seán McGirr, this tradition flourishes in the Spring Summer 2025 and Pre-Autumn Winter 2025 collections, unveiled as part of a bold narrative arc that spans Irish folklore and Victorian streets. These collections are invitations to step into a story, one stitched with innovation, luxury, and unapologetic self-expression.

The Spring Summer 2025 collection, presented at Paris Fashion Week last year September, finds its muse in the banshee, a spectral figure from Irish mythology that McGirr calls a symbol of “strident self-expression.” This inspiration threads through twisted tailoring, shredded silk organza, and cobweb lace, painted in a palette of ivory, silvered grey, black, and jolts of yellow and orange. Accessories shimmer with sculptural, jewellery-like details, echoing the banshee’s haunting attraction.

Meanwhile, the Pre-Autumn Winter 2025 collection hints at the flâneur, the confident urban wanderer of Charles Dickens’s Night Walks, melding Victorian echoes with rebellion. Though less detailed in public records, it promises conviction and character in every seam.

Available at Alexander McQueen, these collections showcase a house that continues to redefine luxury through narrative and craft. From statement bags to stylish footwear, each piece beckons the wearer to live the story.

Burberry High Summer 2025 Collection

Daniel Lee’s Burberry High Summer 2025 capsule channels a playful British holiday spirit into swimwear, shirts and laid-back tailoring. Shot entirely on 35mm film and underscored by the Shipping Forecast theme, the campaign (starring Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and tennis star Jack Draper) is a “Burberry celluloid postcard” of sun-soaked escapism. Nostalgic nautical motifs – ropes, knots and sailboats – meet fresh seasonal checks in this sun-ready collection. Lee says it “captures one of the most enjoyable times of the year: Brits on holiday taking a moment away in the sun.”

The result is a high-summer wardrobe for seaside parties and yacht decks: bikini tops to board shorts, button-up shirts to cotton dresses. Across the line, playful prints and the iconic Equestrian Knight motif tie everything together.

Artful, Natural, and Thoroughly Considered

Burberry’s High Summer bags embrace texture and heritage craft. The crocheted EKD Crochet Pouch (in an off-white “White/Sand” shade) is a standout – a zip pouch crocheted with contrasting yarn to form the archival Knight logo. Softly structured and Italian-made, it slips over the wrist as a clutch (linen and viscose fibres add lightness) and nods to the season’s Resortwear trend.
Equally modern is the Small Logo Canvas Shoulder Bag, a top-handle tote in jacquard cotton-linen canvas. It features a bold horizontal stripe and woven Burberry logo, trimmed with smooth calf leather and brushed-metal hardware. Despite its simple shape, the lightweight linen–cotton fabric and hand-painted edges give it artisanal charm.

For an outdoorsy utilitarian flair, the Medium Highlands Tote combines rugged and refined elements. Italian-made from a cotton–linen blend (with a subtle coated finish inspired by classic rainwear), it’s jacquard-woven with a tonal Burberry check and leather Knight-stamp patch. All these totes are unlined, drop-opening bags – ideal for the beach or market runs – and come with dust bags. (pair with breezy linen separates or crisp white denim for a laid-back summer look.)

Logo Mini Bag in Natural – £550

Burberry

Medium Highlands Tote Bag in Sand – £1,290

Burberry

EKD Crochet Pouch White & Sand – £490

Soft Uniforms and Summer Statements

The High Summer clothes mix classic checks with crisp tailoring and beach-ready ease. On shirts and tops, a seasonal new twist on the Burberry check emerges. For example, the Cropped Check Cotton Shirt – woven in a fresh seasonal hue of the signature tartan – is cut very short and slim. It fastens with a neat point collar and self-tie hem for an effortlessly tousled crop-top effect. Its lightweight cotton feels breathable, and it comes with mother-of-pearl buttons for a luxe touch.

Pairs perfectly with anything high-waisted – try it with the matching Check Cotton Shorts, which feature an elastic drawcord waist and loose fit. These tailored shorts are cut from soft cotton jacquard in the same muted check palette, with side pockets and a single back patch pocket for a polished sporty look.

The collection also leans into graphic archival references. The Knight Stamp Cotton T-shirt in Chalk (creamy off-white) is slim-cut and ultra-soft cotton jersey. Its standout is an embroidered Equestrian Knight motif at the chest – the very same rider-and-horse logo first seen on Burberry bags in the 1980s. Ribbed trim and a slim fit make it a contemporary wardrobe staple, easily layered under light jackets or with a denim skirt.

Dresses and cover-ups skew easy and sporty. A black Check-Trim Cotton T-shirt Dress is cut from weightless cotton jersey into a relaxed, thigh-skimming silhouette. It comes with adjustable check-strap B-buckle tabs on the sleeves and, again, a tonal Knight embroidery on the chest. (think luxe Bermuda tee with Burberry swagger.)

For swim and beach, the campaign’s muses show that even bikinis and towels go high-fashion. The Check Swimsuit is fully printed in a creamy Sand check and edged with playful ruffle trim, while the matching drawstring tote pouch keeps essentials handy.

Grounded, Graphic, and Light on Their Feet

Footwear in High Summer plays into laid-back luxury. Espadrilles are everywhere – the women’s Check Mews Espadrilles (flat) and wedge Check Mews Espadrille Mules are both woven from stretch linen in a blue or sand check.

The flat pair features an almond toe and a rubber sole embossed with the Knight logo, while the pumps sit on a 9cm cork wedge and fasten with crossed buckled straps. Both come lined in check canvas, making them comfortable all day. In editorial style we might pair either with a floaty dress or cropped chinos.

Sandals in the collection also sport the check. For women, you’ll find simple slide styles in teacup or archive beige check pattern.

Styling Tips & FAQ

To channel the High Summer look, mix and match graphic check pieces with breezy neutrals. For example, knot the Cropped Check Shirt over white linen shorts, or wear the Knight-embroidered tee with a monochrome midi skirt. The woven totes and pouches soften hard looks: try the crochet pouch with a pure-white shift dress, or the canvas shoulder bag slung over a chestnut jumpsuit for an effortless city-to-beach ensemble. The espadrilles and slides work well with sun-kissed skin and rolled-up chinos or sarong-style cover-ups.

Q: What inspired the High Summer 2025 collection?
Daniel Lee drew on the joyful, idiosyncratic side of British summer holidays. His team filmed a playful seaside fantasy – complete with ice-lollies, sun loungers and even a scuba diver – to embody “the joy of the British at play.” Think sunlit yacht deck and sandy beach imagery mixed with classic Burberry prints.

Q: What are the stand-out fabrics and techniques?
The range is full of tactile details: crochet-knit pouches (viscose blend) and jacquard-woven linens (for bags and shorts) reference heritage weaving, while cotton jersey tees and dresses are lightweight and breathable. High-tech rubber soles and PU straps keep the shoes practical for the beach. Many items are made in Italy and Portugal, reflecting Burberry’s artisan production.

Q: How do I care for these pieces?
Most cotton and linen garments are machine washable (cold and gentle), but delicate items like the denim skirt (with suede patches) should go to the dry cleaner. Store the crochet pouch in its dust bag to protect the yarn; leather trims on bags can be wiped with a damp cloth. The slides and espadrilles (mostly synthetic or linen) can be hand-washed and air-dried.

Q: Are these pieces already available?
Yes. The High Summer 2025 capsule is live on Burberry’s website. (Burberry is also celebrating with pop-ups – for example at The Newt, Somerset and The Standard, Ibiza – so check local listings.) Sizes run true to form, but note that relaxed-fit swim shorts and dresses are cut roomier.

FAQs & Style Tips

1. How do I care for raffia and crochet bags?
   Gently spot-clean with a soft cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking. Store in a dust bag away from direct sunlight to preserve colour and fibre integrity.
2. What’s the best way to style cherry-print mesh pieces without overdoing it?
   Balance bold prints with neutrals: pair a cherry-print dress with nude sandals or a simple white tote. For separates, anchor them with classic denim or tailored whites.
3. How can I make the crochet maxi dress work beyond the beach?
   Layer it over a slip dress or a fitted midi tank for city-ready polish. Add a structured belt at the waist to define your silhouette.
4. Are the vegan leather sandals comfortable for all-day wear?
   Yes—styles like the Gaia espadrilles and Sneak-Elyse wedges feature cushioned footbeds and supportive straps. Opt for adjustable buckles or slingbacks for the best fit.
5. Which piece should I invest in first?
   If you want maximum versatility, the Falabella Raffia Crochet Bucket Bag transitions seamlessly from markets to nights out. For a clothing statement, the Cherry Print Mesh Strapless Midi Dress makes an immediate impact.

Loewe Paula’s Ibiza 2025 Collection

Launched on 17 April 2025, Loewe’s Paula’s Ibiza collection captures the untamed spirit of summer, bottling the Balearic island’s bohemian legacy into a wardrobe that feels like an endless holiday. Under the creative direction of Jonathan Anderson, this annual capsule pays homage to Paula’s Boutique, the iconic 1970s Ibiza shop that dressed free spirits from Freddie Mercury to Jean Paul Gaultier.

This year, the collection leans into earthy textures, playful prints, and artisanal craftsmanship, evoking the rhythm of sun-drenched days and balmy nights. Shot by Gray Sorrenti in the sandy dunes of Comporta, Portugal, the campaign features a dynamic cast—musician GISELLE, actors Sophie Wilde, Enzo Vogrincic, and Jamie Dornan—who embody the collection’s liberated vibe. From raffia bags to floral-adorned sunglasses, each piece invites you to move with ease and dress with joy.

Inspiration & Heritage

In the early ’70s Paula’s boutique at Dalt Vila was the island’s beating heart for artists, dreamers and fashion rebels. Loewe has bottled that free‑spirited energy for 2025, each piece feels like a souvenir from a sun‑lit day when time slows down and creativity runs wild.

Savette’s Fresh Spin on Luxury Handbags for the Modern Woman

If you haven’t yet heard of Savette, allow me to introduce you to your next handbag obsession. Founded in 2020 by Amy Zurek, this New York-based luxury brand is quietly revolutionising the handbag game. The result? Handbags that feel like they were made for the here and now. Savette’s Spring 2025 collection is no exception, offering a lineup that is chic, with minimalistic designs that speak to the style-conscious woman.

For this season, Savette has focused on their three distinct design lines, the Symmetry, Florence, and Tondo. Whether you’re after a versatile pochette for a night out, a top-handle bag for the office, or a tote for the weekend, there’s something here that’s bound to catch your eye. And with sustainability quietly woven into the brand’s DNA (more on that later), these are bags you can feel good about carrying.

Here are the standout pieces that are already making waves in the fashion world.

The Symmetry Handbag Does It All

If you’re the kind of woman whose day can go from a morning meeting to an dinner date without warning, Symmetry is your new best friend. This line is versatile, with designs that range from sleek top-handle pochettes to spacious shoulder bags. The materials for this collection range from mesh, grained or smooth calf leather, and suede, and the colour palette (black, coffee, sepia, ivory, ecru, and camellia) is neutral enough to pair with just about anything in your wardrobe.

Savette

Symmetry Mesh with Smooth Black Leather Trim Pochette – £1,250

The perfect evening bag—lightweight, with a mesh body that feels fresh and a black leather trim that keeps it grounded.

Savette

Symmetry Grained Black Calf Leather Shoulder Bag – £1,800

A workhorse that can handle your daily grind without breaking a sweat.

Savette

Symmetry 26 Sepia Suede Top-Handle Bag – £2,050

A statement bag that’s rich in this warm suede option.

Savette

Slim Symmetry Smooth Coffee Calf Leather Pochette – £1,400

Savette

Symmetry 19 Smooth Coffee Calf Leather Crossbody Bag – £1,800

Savette

Symmetry Smooth Ivory Calfskin Leather Pochette – £1,300

Savette

Symmetry Smooth Ivory Calfskin Leather Shoulder Bag – £1,800

Savette

Symmetry Mesh with Smooth Camellia Leather Trim Pochette – £1,250

Amy Zurek, the brains behind Savette, puts it best: “Symmetry is about creating pieces that move with you, not against you. We wanted bags that feel like natural extensions of your life—functional, but never at the expense of beauty.” It’s no wonder this line has been spotted on the arms of fashion insiders and celebrities alike, from Emily Ratajkowski to Katie Holmes.

The Florence Is A Classic Bag Option

If you’re drawn to a classic style of bag but want something that feels trendy, the Florence line is where it’s at. Available In smooth or grained calf leather and in shades like black, ivory, and ecru, these pieces are designed to last (in terms of durability and style).

Savette

Florence 20 Grained Black Calf Leather – £1,650

Compact and textured, this bag works well for the office or lunch.

Savette

Florence Smooth Ivory Calfskin Leather Clutch – £1,300

Sleek, minimalist, and the perfect clutch for evenings.

Savette

This gentle hue is a breath of fresh air for spring.

Savette

Florence Grained Black Calf Leather Shoulder Bag – £1,850

Savette

Florence Smooth Ivory Calf Leather Shoulder Bag – £1,850

Zurek explains the inspiration behind the line: “Florence is our love letter to the artisans who have honed their craft over generations. We wanted to honour that legacy while creating something that feels relevant today.” It’s this balance of old and new that makes the Florence line so appealing to women who appreciate a bit of heritage in their handbags.

Tondo Laid-Back Daily Luxury Handbag

If casual is your thing, then the Tondo line is your go-to. These bags (think totes and hobo styles) with materials like mesh and suede in colours that feel effortlessly cool (black, ecru, sepia, and camellia). They’re the kind of bags you can sling over your shoulder and be confident they enhance your look.

Savette

Small Tondo Mesh with Smooth Black Leather Trim Tote – £1,150

Lightweight and modern, it’s the perfect bag for a weekend wander or a quick trip to the shop.

Savette

Small Tondo Sepia Suede Hobo Bag – £1,700

This hobo bag pairs beautifully with jeans and a jumper.

Savette

Small Tondo Camellia Suede Hobo Bag – £1,700

Add a pop of personality to your outfit with this soft pinkish hue.

Savette

Large Tondo Suede Sepia Hobo Bag – £1,900

Savette

Small Tondo Mesh with Smooth Ecru Leather Trim Tote – £1,150

“Tondo is about luxury that’s not intimidating,” Zurek says. “We wanted to create bags that feel like they’ve always been part of your life—comfortable, but still special.” It’s this ease that makes the Tondo line a favourite among women who want their accessories to be special.

Why Savette Stands Out in the Handbag World

In a market flooded with fast fashion and fleeting trends, Savette is a breath of fresh air. The brand’s commitment to creating “modern heirlooms” means that each bag is designed to be passed down through generations. And with sustainability quietly baked into their process (using responsibly sourced materials and working with artisans who’ve been perfecting their craft for decades) Savette is a brand that feels as good as it looks.

But it’s not just about the ethics; it’s about the design. Savette’s bags are minimalist without being boring, and full of style. They’ve been spotted on the arms of celebrities like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Lady Gaga, and fashion insiders are already calling them the next big thing in luxury handbags. As Vogue UK noted in their Spring/Summer 2025 trends roundup, timeless, understated designs are having a moment, and Savette is leading the charge.

Why You Need a Savette Bag in Your Life

Whether you’re a handbag aficionado or just looking for a perfect piece for your wardrobe, Savette’s Spring 2025 collection has something for you. From the versatile Symmetry line to the heritage-inspired Florence and the laid-back Tondo, these bags are designed to fit seamlessly into your life, and stay there for years to come.

So, if you’re ready to invest in a handbag that’s stylish and sustainable, head over to savette.com and explore the full collection.

Bottega Veneta Women’s Spring Summer New Arrivals

When Bottega Veneta showed off its Women’s Spring/Summer 2025 Collection at MFW, the atmosphere swelled with a quiet, electric reverence. Creative Director Matthieu Blazy, a maestro of luxury, presented a vision that stretched beyond the runway, binding memory to innovation with deft hands. This season, luxury handbags, designer shoes, and fashion sunglasses emerge as echoes of delight, now available at Bottega Veneta Women’s Spring Summer New Arrivals.

Perfect as gifts for her or as additions to your wardrobe, these pieces shine with A$AP Rocky, Jacob Elordi, Kendall Jenner, and Imane Khelif lending their radiance to the front row, and voices from fashion’s elite hailing it a triumph. Blazy has sculpted a collection that resonates like a half-remembered tune, elusive and exquisite.

Matthieu Blazy’s Celebration of Youthful Fashion

Blazy found his muse in “the spirit of youthful imagination, power of wonder, discovery, and play,” a concept that unfolds across the collection with the ease of a summer breeze. The runway transformed into a stage of recollection, where guests sank into animal-shaped beanbag chairs of rabbits, frogs, as a gallery of charm watching models glide forth in garments that recalled the thrill of childhood dress-up. “It’s about the power of sincerity over strategy,” Blazy declared, and that conviction courses through every thread. This is fashion freed from artifice, a gentle call to reclaim joy, making it an ideal source for gifts for women who cherish authenticity.

The praise has been resounding. Harper’s Bazaar lauded its summons to “awaken your inner child,” while WWD celebrated its blend of bold artistry and practical grace. On social media, @pradapearll called it “ravishing and flawless,” a sentiment echoed by @BOTTEGAHOENETA “What captivates me about BV shows is how every look feels like a real person, a profoundly stylish one.” Amid the frog-embellished sandals and intricately woven bags lies a rare gift of couture that pulses with humanity.

Iconic Women’s Luxury Handbag Styles to Invest In

Bottega Veneta’s heritage is carved in leather, and the Spring/Summer 2025 handbags praise that legacy, each piece a tale told in grain and shade. These designer handbags for women are symbols of presence, crafted to hold the essential and the cherished and make the perfect luxury gift.
