From Jonathan Anderson’s Dior debut to Chanel’s jet-setting It tote, these designer bags aren’t just purchases—they’re personality statements for the woman who knows exactly who she is
The most exciting thing about designer bags isn’t the trend cycle. It’s the return to identity. Forget chasing what’s “in” and focus instead on who you are and how you move through the world. These bags don’t just carry essentials. They crystallise personas, from the executive who commands a room to the insider who stays three seasons ahead without trying. They mark intention, signal confidence and give shape to the version of yourself you’re ready to lead with. This is luxury as self-definition, not decoration.
Consider this your permission slip to gift yourself a designer bag that reflects who you’ve become and hints at where you’re headed next.

For the historian: Lady Dior by Jonathan Anderson
You want a designer bag that defines one of the most significant fashion moments of the decade. Creative director Jonathan Anderson has purified the classic architectural Lady Dior silhouette, introducing a sophisticated leather bow that adorns the handle. Releasing in January 2026, the new Lady Dior balances the history of the 1995 original with a softer, lighter, more modern attitude—provenance meeting innovation.
