Women’s designer bags in the archives sale

Among the accessories from the house, the bag is the one you keep longest. It moves from one outfit to another, from one season to the next, until it becomes such a part of your silhouette that it is hard to imagine without it. Soeur bags from past collections are offered at reduced prices during the archives sale, often providing the chance to choose the leather handbag you had noticed but never quite decided on.

Leather goods designed like the wardrobe

The house’s bags are conceived like the rest of its collections, with simple lines, little ornamentation and particular attention to proportion. A Soeur bag does not seek attention; it complements a silhouette and sits as naturally with a wool coat as with a poplin shirt. It is this restraint that carries it across collections and explains why a style from a past season still has its place today.

Crossbody bag, bucket bag or tote

The crossbody bag, worn across the body, leaves the hands free for days in the city or weekends away. The softer bucket bag is recognisable by its rounded shape and drawstring. The tote carries a laptop and everything needed for a day at the office, while the leather clutch is better suited to dinners and evenings out. Depending on the collection, the Archives also include more distinctive mini and oversized styles.

A leather bag chosen to last

Most of the house’s bags are made from smooth or grained leather, or softer split leather, in easy-to-wear shades from black to chocolate. Quality leather develops a patina and softens over the years; a little leather conditioner now and then is enough to care for it. The shoes and the other accessories from the archives sale echo the same tones. The sale can also be explored by budget, for example between €100 and €200.
