When creative director Pieter Mulier created Alaïa’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection, could he have imagined the enormous impact that Le Teckle’s bag design would have on the accessories world? The designer presents us with a modern take on this bag from the past. This bag model, known as a pencil or chocolate bar because of its long horizontal line, is also called “East West”, meaning East and West. The body of this bag extends to the east and west. Some companies have redesigned their existing models to fit this trend. For example, Dior’s Lady Diana resembles a D-Joy woman, and the Olsen twins’ Line brand offers the Abby model, which they call the quiet luxury model. This suede model is enough to be the number one conformist.
Inspired by the 1950s, this bag combines a modern style. Enough to be our dream bag, with patterns like metallic stones or patent leather, passion items also have signature patterns. Bottega Veneta presents a knitted bag model with a design named Andiamo. Italian brand long clutch with handle pattern adapted to the coherence with its elegant design with clever details.
This model, with a slim and masculine silhouette, also refers to the recent rise of the office mermaid model and is the sign that luxury can be achieved through simplicity and variety of models and colors.
