- Why Trust Us
Conversations about luxury handbags typically revolve around which is the most desirable at a specific moment in time or worth the investment. Now, the tone has shifted, with the most stylish women around instead asking what the best quiet luxury bags are?
Far more than a passing trend, these designer bags combine ease, subtlety, and quality craftsmanship without prominent logos. Such discussions are unfolding everywhere, from our Who What Wear UK office to the pages of The Wall Street Journal. But this isn't to say that these bags are completely unidentifiable despite a lack of branding. Rather, they have details such as signature clasps and unique silhouettes that only astute fashion observers would recognise.
Though there are a number of cult bags that fall into the camp of quiet luxury, there's a few noteworthy newcomers. According to Net-a-Porter's former Market Director, Libby Page, sleek silhouettes from Savette—an Italian brand that specialises in leather goods—are resonating with shoppers, making it one of the only brands to successfully break into the luxury-bag market across the e-tailer in a long time.
This signals a rise in the quiet-luxury category overall, as the label joins the leagues of investment brands such as Hermès, Khaite, Celine, and Prada that are as quiet as they are cool. Here, see the most low-key and best quiet-luxury bags that are primed to be in your wardrobe for many years ahead.
The 17 Best Quiet Luxury Bags of 2025
1. Savette Symmetry Bag
Style Notes: One of the breakout brands from the last several years, Savette—the brainchild of founder and designer Amy Zurek—is known for its logoless bags that are finished with its signature metal hardware. If you're looking for which style to choose, we (and ever fashion person ever) would recommend the Savette Symmetry bag.
Shop the Bag:
I'm a big fan of the Pochette suede bag.
The sleek box shape reminds me of the Hermés Constance.
Savette's founder Amy Zurek spent a full year designing cross-body bags, and it's paid off.
2. Hermès Kelly Bag
Style Notes: Wondering how to buy a Hermès bag? The French brand's accessories are famous for long waiting lists and mysterious buying practices. (You only need to look at the Birkin bag prices to see how in demand this style is.) Still, the Hermès Kelly has reached cult status among fashion's most in-the-know insiders. Kelly bags, in particular, are a style that is practically free of branding and known for their expert craftsmanship. For the uninitiated, Kelly bags feature one top handle and an elongated flap that folds across the front of the luxury shopping item.
Shop the Bag:
A work of art.
The gilded hardware is so elegant.
This sumptuous plum shade is one of the key colour trends for autumn 2025.
3. The Row Margaux Bag
Style Notes: If you've been around the past few seasons then there is one bag that has undoubtedly been on everyones's lips: The Row's Margaux bag. The Margaux bag is the epitome of quiet luxury, beloved for its minimalist design and top-notch craftsmanship. It's crafted from smooth, supple leather and features a sleek, structured silhouette—a go-to for any fashion-forward wardrobe. Seen on style icons like Jennifer Lawrence and Kendall Jenner, this bag nails the understated elegance vibe.
Shop the Bag:
This is an exceptional price point for an authentic pre-loved style.
In the meantime, this Reformation option is a great alternative for The Row's Margaux.
Consider the Marlo tote as 2025's answer to (and in-stock version of) the Margaux.
4. Celine Triomphe Bag
Style Notes: The metal clasp on Celine's Triomphe belts and bags takes inspiration from the metal chain surrounding the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. This is one of the best Celine bags to invest in as the shape retains clean and sleek lines, making them seasonless, functional, and beautiful pieces.
Shop the Bag:
There's so many gorgeous colours to choose from, but we love this burgundy especially.
Only in-the-know fashionista's will know this motif. (Hint: It's the brand's jacquard logo.)
A truly timeless investment piece.
5. The Row Sofia Bag
Style Notes: The Row's signature understated minimalism has been distilled into the brand's latest Sofia bag—an unfussy, simple leather crossbody bag that is already cropping up in the most luxurious (and stylish) closets.
Shop the Bag:
The top handle makes this so chic.
This light brown suede is so luxurious.
This beautiful mocha suede is such a nice alternative to classic brown leather.
6. Toteme T-Lock Bag
Style Notes: Inconspicuous, elegant, and unrecognizable except for the subtle "T" clasp, Toteme's T-Lock bag is one of the most notable bag launches in recent memory.
Shop Totême:
The black leather is simply stunning.
I'm loving the crocodile leather.
Who knew that khaki green canvas and brown leather trim were a match made in heaven? Well, we did, considering this combination is one of the biggest colour trends for 2025.
7. Prada Re-Edition 1995 Bag
Style Notes: The Prada Re-Edition 1995 bag was famously carried by Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy—a fashion icon known for her quiet-luxury style. It was brought back by Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, and the co-designers ushered the timeless bag back into the fashion space, making it one of the key investment buys and best Prada bags to own.
Shop the Bag:
The bag is still holding a firm spot on my wish list.
The sharp structure would make it difficult not to feel elegant when carrying this.
I love the brushed body on this version—perfect for elevating more casual looks.
8. Khaite Olivia Bag
Style Notes: At Khaite, Catherine Holstein designs pieces for New York women. Among them is the Olivia bag, a style that masters the balance of simplicity and modern cool. We also love the brand's studded bag, but this quiet luxury bag is arguably amongst one of the most timeless and best Khaite bags.
Shop the Bag:
The purse version of their beloved Benny belt.
The cream version we all need.
This slouchy bag has forever appeal.
9. Bottega Veneta Arco Bag
Style Notes: Bottega Veneta has reached a new level of buzz in recent years, thanks to the work of the inimitable Daniel Lee, Mattheiu Blazy and now, current creative director, Louise Trotter. Their tenures helped distilled some of its archival design elements (including woven leather) into some truly seasonless bags, including the Arco Tote.
Shop the Bag:
There's something about a woven leather bag that is just so opulent.
The candy-sized version is so cute.
This east-west shape doesn't so obviously adhere to the trend, meaning it's a subtle way of nodding to the viral shape without looking too overt.
10. Métier Perriand Bag
Style Notes: With a line of expertly crafted travel-inspired luxury leather goods, London-based brand Métier should be on the top of your radar for timeless pieces to bring on a flight or road trip.
Shop the Bag:
There's something really beautiful about a brown suede bag.
Each bag is skilfully handcrafted.
This one might just be my favourite.
11. DeMellier New York Tote
Style Notes: Spotted on influencers and royals alike, DeMellier’s New York tote, is celebrated for its versatility and chic appeal. It's both practical and polished, making it a must-have for the modern professional. Made from premium leather and designed with ample space, it’s the ideal mix of form and function.
Shop the Bag:
It really is a Mary Poppins-esque bag.
I love how many colours and finishes the New York Tote comes in.
The grain leather brings another textural element to the folded shape.
12. Saint Laurent Manhattan Bag
Style Notes: Like the city it's named for, Saint Laurent's Manhattan bag is sophisticated, elegant, and timeless. It's also one of the only style to lack the signature 'YSL' gilded logo, making it one of the best Saint Laurent bags for minimalists.
Shop the Bag:
An elegant shoulder bag for all occasions.
I don't know how I'd choose between the chic colour options.
I'm even more obsessed with the mini version.
13. Tory Burch Lee Radziwill Bag
Style Notes: Named after Lee Radziwill, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis's younger sister, the eponymous Tory Burch bag mirrors the late fashion icon's style with its structured silhouette, top handle, and timeless design. (Celebs are also fighting over the Tory Burch Romy bag, too.)
Shop the Bag:
Such a classic.
The unique floral pattern really caught our eye.
An undeniable alternative for the Hermès Kelly, especially with the chic contrast stitching.
14. Ferragamo Hug Pouch
Style Notes: Ferragamo is one of the buzziest bag brands right now that to it's fresh yet classic silhouettes and colourways. The Ferragamo Hug bag has already earned itself icon status and includes the clutch style, shoulder bag, tote and top-handle number.
Shop the Bag:
This would work hard in any minimalist's wardrobe.
The zips nod to a more practical and punk-esque aesthetic that is certainly more fanciful for those who prefer timeless design, but don't want their pieces to be completely devoid of personality.
The distressed effect, thanks to the cracked leather only enhances this style's conviction as a life-long collectable.
15. Loewe Paseo Bag
Style Notes: Ah Loewe, how you never fail me. The Spanish fashion house has gone from strength to strength in recent years under the tutelage of Ireland's Jonathan Anderson, but after the dominance of the Puzzle bag (a true icon) it's the newer Paseo that is catching the eye of the most stylish people out there.
Shop the Bag:
This raffia tote screams summer.
The Flamenco style has a similar folded detail, but is a great clutch version.
To emulate a chic woman about town, reach for this tote.
16. DeMellier Vancouver Clutch
Style Notes: If you haven't gauged already, the best quiet luxury bags have a sharp shape and polished gold hardware. DeMellier's Vancouver tote is the epitome of this with an elongated and rectangular form and prominent gilded fastening.
Shop the Bag:
You can also wear this on your shoulder thanks to the chain link strap.
This style is Jas Tookes-approved.
This dark sand style is heavenly.
17. Manu Le Cambon 35
Style Notes: Like how woven leather conveys an aptitude for craftsmanship and classic design with boasting a logo or obvious label, Manu Atelier's Le Cambon 35 relays a similar effect. With a suede exterior and a belted buckle that wraps around the trapeze-shaped body, this Turkish-designed offering has quickly become the most prominent piece of arm candy tucked into the elbow crooks of It girls all over Europe.
Shop the Bag:
This is the exact shade that every stylish dresser seems to own.
Personally, I prefer this midnight blue suede. Not only is it not a very popular shade, meaning that the style will be more exclusive as not many people tend to reach for this exact hue, but it's especially versatile for effortless styling.
The LBD of designer bags.
