The Alaia Le Teckel made its debut on the must have lists of every fashionista last season and the demand seems to be just as high this spring as it did last fall. With it's structured handles and recognisable narrow style, (Le Teckel means daschund in German) the house have rejuvinated the design with some fresh statement materials.
This season discover the Le Teckel in not only sumptuous suede and smooth leather, but also in stand out denim washes as well as laser cut leathers that mix a modern twist with the classic shape. Don't be put off by the narrowed body of this now iconic bag though; the style can fit far more inside than first glances would have you believe.

The Diamond range has fast become a staple of the Jimmy choo brand, spanning across not only footwear and accessories (the necklace and earrings are amazing chunky statements) but in their bag ranges too. The Diamond Hobo is a softer reincarnation of the Diamond style, with an over shoulder adjustable strap that accentuates the flexibility of the shape.
The base of the Diamond Hobo has the now well known trapeze/diamond body that has stood the test of post Covid fashion trends for so many designers, but Jimmy Choo have accentuated the shape with stitched accents. Go bold with their leopard or studded colourways or choose spring time pastels with cream and baby blues - there's a choice for every personal style.

Loewe tend to set the standard for new bag trends and this last few seasons have seen the emergence of their now recognisable Flamenco bag. The pouch style with detachable chains and drawstring closure offers versatility in the hold of the style as well as the shape of the bag itself. You might see a multitude of dupes moving towards spring but the Flamenco is the original creation.
Last season the first iterations of the Flamenco bag saw classic leathers in seasonally apt jewel tones but this year the style can now be found in far more textures and materials. Opt for sequin smothered versions to bring the pouch into an occasion style or even the new for spring distressed style that has been uniquely made by artisans in Spain.

If you think indulging in a designer bag that's also exquisite quality shouldn't mean hitting the 4 figure mark, then look no further than the artisans at Strathberry. The bag brand hit the big time when big names like HRH Princess of Wales, Meghan Markle and Katie Holmes wore the bags on a continued basis.
One of the brands newest styles from 2024 has become a front runner for their most popular because of its sleek lines and pebbled leather - the Mosaic with detachable crossbody strap. Initially available in core colours, the style has now been launched for spring in raffia, stone blue and even suede highlighted dusky rose.

Jacquemus will always be at the forefront of seasonal trends and this spring is no different with the launch of the Rond Carré in a clutch style. The geometric styled clutch, features bold 3D shapes at either end of the pouch that contrast starkly against the flexibility of the main bag.
Just like so many Jacquemus designs, the Rond Carré is easily recognisable because of it's asymetric design and even more so because of the available colourways. Lean into the artistic style of the creation by choosing patent red croc effect, natural raffia with gold accents or even monochramtic effect python.
