The pleating of the main panels is characteristic of 2004, fastened through two tubular handles: a typical Armani process of construction and deconstruction. With the exception of the logo pendant, enameled in the same color as the bag, the 2004 is made entirely of leather -with no metal elements- through a process that requires great dexterity and skill.

Smooth in design, the 2004 is also smooth to the touch. It is available in matte python, leather and silky reversible suede, in a variety of neutral tones with hints of light colours. An interior zippered bag provides storage for valuable items. Functionality and a sense of beauty come together in a timeless balance.

Hedi Slimane has not been able to resist the 90's revival either and after rummaging through the archives of the French house she decided to rescue one of the most emblematic pieces of the maison. This bag is part of the Triomphe Canvas collection that was launched back in 2018 but whose inspiration dates back to much earlier.

The monogram and closures of this collection are inspired by the Arc de Triomphe in Paris when, in 1972, the creator of the French firm (Céline Vipiana) was totally enthralled and decided that the chains that surrounded the monument deserved to be part of her signature , thus creating the emblem (in the shape of a double C) that Hedi rescued to complete the bags and that has already been a complete success.

What Jacquemus began almost as a joke with his microscopic Le Chiquito bag has become a trend that has dragged the big firms. Without going any further, Dior has reinvented the curves of some of its iconic bags in a series of miniature versions, exalting its graphic lines in new dimensions.

Alongside the iconic Lady Dior and 30 Montaigne, Dior Caro and Saddle are also revealed in these charming mini iterations that complete any silhouette with a touch of contemporary daring. Available in black, red and a palette of soft hues including sky blue and mint green, these micro bags celebrate some of the founding couturier's favorite colours.

Ironic and irreverent, Jeremy Scott reinvents for Moschino one of his mythical garments, the leather biker jacket, turning it into nothing more and nothing less than a handbag. Made of leather and imitating the shape of a folded leather jacket, the shoulder bag is pure fun. Made in nappa leather in colors ranging from classic black to red, yellow or sky blue, the gold zippers and chain strap are the final touch.

Although Valentino will always be synonymous with elegance and a certain restraint, we cannot also forget that the resurgence of studs is a trend for which Pierpaolo Piccioli is absolutely responsible. The latest idea of ​​the designer for the French firm has been to maximize the size of the studs to embed them in leather bags with a quilted effect. In addition, the removable handle allows it to be worn over the shoulder, carried across the body or used as a handbag.

Few symbols are as unequivocal as the head of the Medusa to associate them with a brand. Versace works visual identity like few others and with this mythological reference has built an empire full of references that for more than 40 years have not stopped setting style. The star of its summer collection is the La Medusa bag. "To me, the jellyfish represents that woman who walks into a room and draws all eyes," says Donatella.

It's a sophisticated yet comfortable bag style made from supple leather that creates a slouchy silhouette and brings a young, fresh attitude. Made in leather and declined in a palette of bright colors: from intense orange, coral pink and navy blue to classic black and white. The different styles in which it has been made have macro studs, while an ultra-luxurious variant is made of precious python skin.

In this version it takes on a sportier feel thanks to a modern, wide jacquard shoulder strap with delicate stitching and adorned with embroidered Louis Vuitton lettering on one side and Monogram Flowers. for the other.
