Whether you’re searching for a romantic gift for a big date night or want to find a trendsetting bag, we’ve got you covered.

At Fashion Week, the handbag offerings that mattered most were about modern cuts’ radicality. Bags can be an innocuous way to add panache to clothing. The epitomic wardrobe balances the contrasts called for by modern life: individuality versus adaptability, substance versus lightness, and exceptionality versus ease. For Spring-Summer 2024, ladies’ handbag offerings reflect the contemporary culture of feminine dress codes. Anchored in everyday savoir-faire, these bags represent the fusion of contrasts that shapes authentic garments and accessories relevant to today. Over the following two chapters, from Spring to Summer, new codes are explored– reinvigorated in new artisanal manifestations.

In addition, there is also a focus on lightness crafted in super-light materials- including vegan leathers – often adorned with characteristic new bag stitching. Similarly, new dying techniques draw on the colors and textures of the bags. This makes it interesting because it is an exercise that mixes accessories with wardrobe. It is a vibrant luxury story that embodies the premise of fusion in garments that blur the lines between fabric, leather, and hardware.

With an increasing focus on investment pieces these days, gifting a functional yet gorgeous carrier that can be used season after season seems to be an excellent gift choice that can even be passed down from generation to generation.

A precious light is hidden in the small things and illuminates our days. To celebrate the beauty of the little big things, our team has curated a selection of bags in which leisure spirit is paired with stylistic sophistication and natural elegance that embody a polite and charismatic style, which is the perfect gift for mom this Mother’s Day.

Here is a list of handbags for every family matriarch with a certain savoir faire at any stage in her life.
