Five Personally Selected Black Bags for AW18

GUCCI Soho leather cross-body bag


Established in 1921 by Guccio Gucci, the Florentine label has become one of the world's most coveted and influential fashion names. The iconic GG logo usually found repeated across canvas, is re-worked into a single interlocking crest on the Soho cross-body bag. Fashioned in soft grained leather, it opens to reveal plenty of space for all your essentials and it hangs from a slender strap with an oversized tassel detail.


CHLOE Tess leather and suede cross-body bag


Forever fascinated with the spirit of the 1970's, ChloĆ©'s designs echo touches of the inspirational era. Named the Tess, this cross-body style combines smooth leather with soft suede, designed in a round shape. Of course, this wouldn't be a signature piece without the collection's renowned ring, and this particular design comes in a gold tone.


VALENTINO Candy Rockstud leather cross-body bag


Valentino's latest collections are designed with the philosophy of romanticism at their core; a theme captured perfectly with this cross-body bag. Suspended from a polished chain strap, its soft leather body is quilted, and of course, accented with the iconic Rockstuds, while the signature spiked turnlock remains its centrepiece.


BALENCIAGA Classic City S graffiti-print leather shoulder bag


Under the reign of Demna Gvasalia, Balenciaga's vision of luxury is a modern one, disrupting timeless designs with vibrant prints and idiosyncratic details. Carried by the signature whipstitched handles or optional strap, the Classic City S shoulder bag is emblazoned with the Creative Director’s colourful graffiti print. The zipped compartment and front pocket keep essentials organised.


LOEWE Barcelona stars leather shoulder bag



Prodigy of London's fashion scene transplanted to Spain's most prestigious luxury house, Jonathan Anderson has imbued new life into Loewe with his forward-facing accessories. Offering up a wealth of sizes and colour variations each season, the brand's latest version of its Barcelona shoulder bag tempts the eye with its all-over stars details. Ideal for nights out, smooth calf leather showcases the brand's artistry.
