Style For September THE BAGS, THE DRAMA


Summer may be winding down, but to me September is when the real fashion fun begins. As the leaves change, so too does our wardrobe… and I’m not talk ing about just swapping sandals for on trend boots.


I ’m excited by


statement bags that double as ar t, the nostalgic f lorals you never k new you needed, and a gloriously offbeat return of playful sailor -core (yes, it’s a thing—and I ’m obsessed).


This month I am walk ing you through what’s truly turning heads this season—because beige minimalism? Sweetie, that’s so last season.


The Bags Are Not Just Accessories - They’re Conversation Starters


Designers have decided we deserve drama—not in our TV screens, but on our arms. This season’s handbags are loud, proud and utter ly sculptural. We’re seeing twisted silhouettes, sur real propor tions and luxe mater ials that feel almost edible. Think of them as the It Gir ls of accessor ies: gorgeous, attention-hungry, and absolutely


T HE GLORIOUS RE T URN OF P E RSONA L I T Y not here to play it safe.


Miu Miu is having a moment (a 38% sales surge, no less) and I’m not surpr ised. The Arcadie and Ivy bags are everything. That plush matelassé leather ? Divine. That metallic hardware? Dripping. That price tag? Wor th every penny for a piece that screams, “I’m chic and I know it.”


My take? I f your outf it whisper ing, your bag needs to shout.


And it’s not just Miu Miu in the spotlight. The Margaux, Bayswater, T-Lock , and Puzzle bags have transcended trend, they’re the new guard of timeless elegance.


But if timeless isn’t tick ing your box today, go bold.


Bottega’s tassels, Chloé’s crochet, and Louis Vuitton’s gem-spangled lovelies are practically wink ing at us. Even if you’re wear ing the same white tee and denim you’ve had for year s, pair it with one of these eccentr ic stunners and voilà, you’re the main character.


My current obsessions: CHLOE 20

MIU MIU


Precious matelassé workmanship revisits the classic silhouette of the top-handle bag thank s to its three-dimensional, tex tured, and ex tremely sophisticated effect. The lettering logo on the front that echoes dif ferent metallic f inishes of the hardware stands out against the ar tisan motif with an iconic and immediately recognisable touch. The dynamic and elegant lines and the adjustable, detachable shoulder strap contr ibute to the versatile, functional and modern design of the bag.
