TRENDING: PILLOWY PURSES
The new accessory trend keeping us up at night
Words by Bridget Barnett
Since Daniel Lee’s inaugural Autumn Winter 2019 collection at Bottega Veneta, each season we’ve been introduced to a new cohort of leather accessories with immediate social appeal. Right now, the designer’s pillowy clutches and handbags are reigning supreme and, as the trend continues to grow and evolve, there’s a bounty of other designs competing for our attention.
Not only are these bags a stark contrast to the structured designs and sharp geometric silhouettes that the industry has recently been coveting, but they’re also upping their game when it comes to materials – think deliciously smooth leathers that feel like butter between your hands.
Among our favourites are Jil Sander’s glossy envelope clutch which offers a more streamlined approach to the trend, and as well as STAUD’s shoulder bag which uses ruching to add texture to its dough-like frames and By Far riff on their beloved baguette with updates that include a super soft exterior that easily collapses when empty.
