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. Born in Paris and worn from Milan to Hackney, AMI’s charm lies in how little it tries. And in 2025, that might be the most desirable thing of all.
