Shape, Structure, and Substance: The Bags Defining Fashion’s New Era

Designed in New York and crafted in Italy, Savette’s Symmetry Pochette is quietly becoming the handbag of choice for the modern minimalist. At once sculptural and soft, its allure lies not in overt statements but in the purity of its form.

Founded by Amy Zurek - an alumna of The Row and Khaite - Savette is a masterclass in restraint. Built on an ethos of longevity, precision, and legacy-minded design, the label embodies a new kind of luxury: intellectual, intentional, and enduring.

The Symmetry Pochette is rendered in hand-lacquered box calf leather with impeccable structure. A removable crossbody strap lends versatility, while its architectural clasp recalls the quiet elegance of mid-century modern design. It’s a piece that adapts, but never disappears.

Spotted on Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Laura Harrier, the Pochette is a study in quiet power. This is not a bag for trend-chasers - it’s for the woman whose confidence doesn’t require a monogram.

There’s something quietly magnetic about the Prada Bonnie Bag. At first glance, it’s familiar - nostalgic, even. The elongated east-west shape, the gleam of calfskin, the understated belt detailing: all nods to Prada’s early-2000s lexicon. But this isn’t a mere revival. It’s a rearticulation of the past softer, slouchier, smarter.

Reintroduced in the Spring-Summer 2025 collection, the Bonnie carries the kind of relaxed structure that signals a shift from hard-edged minimalism to sensual pragmatism. It’s the sort of bag you don’t pose with - you just wear it, instinctively. Draped from the crook of the elbow or slung over the shoulder, it moulds to the rhythm of daily life while whispering impeccable taste.

Crafted in glossy calfskin with the house’s signature enamel triangle, the Bonnie is both iconic and understated. Its dual-zip closure and thoughtfully segmented interior deliver on function, while its silhouette captures a very specific kind of femininity: confident, easeful, and quietly assured.

Few bags have achieved the cult status of Balenciaga’s original Motorcycle Bag. Beloved in the early 2000s by Kate Moss, Mary-Kate Olsen, and just about every model-off-duty worth noting, it became a symbol of dishevelled glamour and nonchalant edge. Now, it returns - with intention.

Reborn as the Le City, this modern iteration retains everything that made the original so desirable: the slouch, the studs, the attitude. But it’s been refined - slightly softened, subtly updated, and newly available in three sizes to suit every style of wearer.

Crafted in Balenciaga’s signature Arena lambskin, the bag features braided top handles, antique brass hardware, and a choice of rich colourways - from matte neutrals to metallics. It wears in beautifully over time, becoming more personal with every outing.

The Le City is for those who remember fashion before filters - and for a new generation discovering that the best bags aren’t always the newest, just the most unforgettable.

Debuting during ALAÏA’s Spring-Summer 2025 show at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Le Click Bag arrived as more than an accessory - it was a declaration of form. With its sleek, elongated east-west silhouette and body-contouring curve, it immediately stood out in a season of soft structures and archival nods.

The Le Click embodies the sculptural DNA of ALAÏA. Its folded leather base and minimalist contours are punctuated by thoughtful detailing: a leather-wrapped hinge opening, metallic ring accents, and a smooth, polished finish that glows like lacquer. It’s a bag designed not to accompany the silhouette - but to become part of it.

Crafted in glossy calfskin and available in a restrained palette of noir, bone, and garnet, the bag’s structure maintains its architectural integrity whether worn crossbody or tucked elegantly under the arm. The name “Click” refers to the subtle snap of its secure magnetic closure - a tactile detail that feels as deliberate as it does satisfying.

Le Click isn’t loud. It doesn’t beg for attention. Instead, it mirrors the ALAÏA woman herself: poised, intelligent, and carved from her own convictions. It’s a modern icon - refined, exacting, and impossible to ignore.
