New Collection leather bags for the way we really move
The outfits I reach for in the mirror lately – linen blazers, relaxed wide trousers, open-collar shirts – only really come together once there's a clean, structured bag anchoring the whole look.
Our New Collection is built around that idea: pieces with clear lines that sit close to the body, slip over a bare shoulder, and move with you through crowded pavements, coffee runs and late dinners without feeling fussy or fragile.Every style in this drop is made in small Tuscan workshops where families have been cutting and stitching hides for generations, so the bags don't just look refined – they're engineered to cope with real life. The Italian leather we use has enough body to hold its silhouette on a chair beside you, but it softens just enough against the hip or under the arm, and over time the handles and corners develop that quiet patina that makes a bag feel truly yours.
In this New Collection you'll find everything from streamlined everyday pieces to more statement shapes: perhaps you're refreshing your work uniform with one of our structured leather tote bags, or you want the ease of slipping a slim baguette from our leather shoulder bags line over your shoulder for evenings out. There are also compact hands-free options, like the edited run of black crossbody bags that sit neatly against the body, and softly structured neutrals such as our beige leather handbags that work with almost any palette.
Spring and summer 2026 is all about balancing ease and precision: fluid midi skirts, relaxed linen layers, cropped wide-leg trousers – grounded by a bag with enough structure to cut a clean line. I've been wearing our new city totes with lightweight blazers and flat leather sandals for the office, then switching to a slim shoulder style with a cotton dress and espadrilles for dinner. For warm evenings and al fresco suppers, I love a long-strap bag worn slightly higher, so it clears the hip and stays close when you're weaving through busy streets.
Behind the scenes, we've quietly reinforced the stress points on these designs – where straps meet the body, where a laptop or water bottle might pull – so you can carry more than just your phone and lipstick without worrying about strain. Our makers double-stitch these areas and choose hardware with just enough weight to feel solid in the hand but not drag the bag down, which makes a real difference when you're commuting or travelling with a full load.
Capacity-wise, I think of this collection in three moods: compact pieces that hold your phone, keys, cardholder and a lipstick for evenings; mid-sized day bags that comfortably take a notebook, small water bottle and sunglasses; and larger carry-alls that can handle A4 documents or a slim laptop for office days or weekend trains. In the lighter months, many women gravitate towards the compact and mid-sized styles – there's something freeing about carrying just what you need when you're not weighed down by extra layers.
If you're building outfits for the warmer months, try pairing a structured tote with a linen blazer and clean white trainers for the weekday rush, then swap to a softer shoulder style with a Breton top, straight jeans and loafers at the weekend. For evenings, a small crossbody worn high over a light jacket or a silk blouse keeps your silhouette sharp and your essentials close, whether you're at a gallery opening or slipping into a favourite restaurant.
A practical note for the season: lighter-coloured leathers look particularly beautiful in natural daylight, and our beige and tan styles pair effortlessly with the softer palette most of us reach for once the weather turns. If you tend to carry sun cream or a small bottle of water, the mid-sized styles have enough room without losing their shape.
If you're tired of juggling your phone, keys and coffee while your bag keeps slipping off your shoulder, this is exactly the gap these new arrivals are meant to fill. Let the shapes do the work – try them at home with the sandals and the summer dress you actually wear, and keep only the ones that feel effortless with your real wardrobe. And if a size or style isn't quite right once you've lived with it in front of your own mirror, returns are straightforward.
FAQs
Are the bags in the New Collection suitable for lighter summer outfits?
Yes – I've paid particular attention to strap length and drop so they sit cleanly over bare shoulders, sleeveless tops and lighter fabrics without slipping or bunching. Many of the long-strap styles are adjustable, so you can shorten them for a close, streamlined fit or lengthen them when you want a more relaxed crossbody look.
How much can I realistically carry in these new tote and shoulder styles?
From using them myself, I'd say the medium totes and larger shoulder bags are ideal for daily life: they take a notebook, small water bottle, glasses case and makeup pouch without warping their shape. The leather has enough structure and the strap attachments are reinforced so the weight is supported without digging into your shoulder, even on long city days.
Will the leather in the New Collection age well with daily use?
The hides we source from our Tuscan partners are drum-dyed through the grain, so small scuffs blend into a soft patina rather than stark scratches. I usually suggest keeping the bag out of prolonged direct sunlight and giving it an occasional conditioning a few times a year to keep the surface supple and the corners looking refined.
Are there hands-free options in the New Collection for commuting and travel?
There are several crossbody and long-strap designs that sit flat against the body, which I find invaluable on crowded trains or when you're pulling a suitcase. The hardware is chosen to be sturdy enough for repeated opening and closing, so you can get to your passport or card quickly without babying the bag.
Can I return a bag from the New Collection if the size doesn't work for me?
Of course – if your chosen style feels too small for your everyday essentials or too large for evenings once you try it with your own outfits, you can send it back within our return window. I always prefer that you live with a bag briefly at home and only keep it if it genuinely fits your routine.
