The handbag is the one accessory we find it hard to live without, so much so we often find ourselves buying one for each look. With Spring Summer 2019 bags arriving thick and fast, Browns are giving you a head start on the hottest picks of the new season that deserve a place on your arm.

One of the most spotted bags at Copenhagen Fashion Week, the Wandler Luna is a contemporary classic that you’ll want in every colour and texture. Created by Elza Wandler and based in Amsterdam, her bags have quickly become the influencer’s bag of choice. Minimalist and elegant, the Luna is the perfect everyday city bag that embraces modern. The Italian-made Luna is the right size for all the essentials and its cross-body strap will allow you to go about your busy day without her leaving your side.

The bag that attracted waiting lists is back! First released in 1997, the Fendi Baguette bag is one of the most successful handbags of all time. Relaunched as part of the Fendi Mania capsule with Fila, the bag that was designed to be ‘minimal and functional’ has had a bold makeover in a bright white, red and blue colourway, all over logo and added fringing. The Baguette bag was designed by Silvia Venturini Fendi, who works alongside the brands current creative director Karl Lagerfeld. Designed in the late nineties, this small pochette fits snuggly under your arm, freeing your hands to get on with more important things. 

A sparkling spherical masterpiece, the Marzook Swarovski Sphere bag was created by brother/sister duo, Fahad and Shouq Al-Marzook. Based in Kuwait, these Instagram-able bags have graced the shoulders of many a millennial trailblazer and have swiftly become the ultimate party piece. Inspired by the sibling’s upbringing amongst Eastern and Western cultures, Marzook uses a mix of precious metals, plexiglass and Swarovski crystals to create a bag that is the focal point of any outfit.

The bag that has gained cult status amongst the style set, Rejina Pyo’s Olivia is the ideal day-to-night transitional bag. Giving us vintage vibes with a contemporary silhouette, the Olivia was one of the most spotted bags at London Fashion Week SS19, draped on the arm of editors, influencers and models alike. London based brand Rejina Pyo, introduced the Olivia two seasons ago to work alongside her elegant, everyday ready-to-wear and quickly became the ‘it’ bag amongst the fashion elite. This boxy bag can also be switched between a top handle and a clutch with a simple switch of clips, adapting to your style needs in one click.

Inspired by a bag that went down the runway in the Spring Summer 2000 collection, Prada’s Sidonie has curvy edges, Cahier style hardware and a short strap that can be thrown over your shoulder with ease. Already sported by the supermodel set, the Sidonie is your must-have for the upcoming season. Trust us, this one is going to be big…
