Fendi Peekaboo Soft

Fendi reintroduced the Peekaboo IseeU in its recent autumn/winter show, as a reimagined version of the signature calf leather handbag in a softer texture, with smooth edges and an adjustable handle to wear as a shoulder bag or carry as a handbag. For the Soft, Fendi aimed for a lightweight look and feel, covering the signature metal bar in leather and drawing from natural, earthy colours for the tones. Other options of the bag from the Italian maison present mink fur, crocodile nabuk leather, and croco kashmir. All are available in medium and large sizes, but the standout from the collection is the printed version on Cuoio Romano leather, a rendition of the Testa colossale di divinità statue from the Galleria Borghese in Rome.

The Fendi Peekaboo Soft is available in select boutiques as of September 17.

Ferragamo Hug Bag

A testament to the craftsmanship of the Italian design house, the making of the Hug bag requires a series of meticulous steps from the artisans, from ensuring the use of high-quality durable leather to precise construction to hand-braiding the handles, strengthening the bag’s hold and adding a unique touch. The name and design were drawn from the gesture that is common in Italian culture. Two golden Gancio buckles envelope the sides of the bag as the closures, and on the bottom, metal studs protect the base when the bag is set down.

Loewe Medium Squeeze Leather Shoulder Bag

Aside from the exaggerated shapes, objects in place of heels, and pixelated clothing, Jonathan Anderson’s creative vision for the nearly 200-year-old Spanish brand upholds the craftsmanship and expertise in leather goods emphasized in its inception. Competing with the Puzzle bag for the brand’s best bag design, this nappa lambskin leather bag is a strong contender. Featuring a distinctive top handle and a zipper pocket inside, this versatile piece can be styled as a shoulder bag, crossbody, or handbag. In addition, the medium-sized bag has a Pebble charm embossed with Loewe’s four-Ls logo, which can be used to extend the chunky doughnut-style chain. Available in nine shades of leather, it comes in a gold or silver chain.

Each bag is made on demand, opting for a sustainable production model.

Alaïa Red Le Teckel Small Bag

What seems to be Alaïa’s interpretation of a classic bowling bag, this eye-catching accessory, though smaller in scale, has long top handles, making it an ideal shoulder bag with a pop of colour.

Bottega Veneta Liberta Bag

For its winter 2024 bag collection, Bottega Veneta stepped away from the intrecciato (woven- leather) bags that has been a signature for the brand since 1975, and focused on smooth leather and different silhouettes. Inspired by an archival bag model, Liberta is one the smooth leather bag styles presented in the collection that was crafted with a soft and silky feel. The Liberta bag is calf leather and suede, and a roped loop of the intrecciato leather coaxial cord wraps around a unique brass fastener. The crossbody bag (which doubles as a clutch) is available in two sizes.
