Every Stylish Person I Know Is Already Carrying This Designer-Passing Autumn It Bag—But It's Selling Fast
DeMellier's new Brooklyn has just arrived, and it's already the It style of autumn.
September has only just arrived, but already autumn's hit bag has been unveiled. Dedicated to creating sleek, timeless and understated bags, DeMellier's new collection sees a new style in the spotlight. For now, the Brooklyn bag is the insider bag on every fashion person’s autumn wish list, and I’m snapping it up before everyone else does.
Marisa carries the DeMellier Midi Brooklyn Bag (£540)
Named the Brooklyn, there are clear familial links to the brand’s iconic New York tote. It follows the signature metal closure across the front and spacious size, but distinguishes itself with an east-west silhouette and flap closure. As with each of the brand's creations, practicality and look are considered in equal measure when approaching the Brooklyn bag. Long straps allow the bag to sit neatly over the shoulder or be carried in the crook of an arm, whether you're wearing a light knit or bulky coat in the cooler months. A zip pocket and card slots keep treasured items close at hand, whilst the overall look of the bag is high-end, without the matching four-figure price tag.
Paula carries the DeMellier Brooklyn Bag (£625)
The first unveiling of the Brooklyn bag sees two distinct sizes: regular and midi. Each is spacious and offered in a series of sleek colourways and various finishes, from suede to grained leather to croc-effect. Like all of DeMellier’s creations, this bag was designed to go the distance. The shape feels current yet enduring, the leather is high-quality, and the finer details of metal feet on the base support the longevity of the style. It’s the kind of bag that will induce compliments every time you wear it and encourage onlookers to ask, “Where did you get that?” as the understated appeal isn’t based on bold branding, but immaculate craftspersonship.

Already, some of the most stylish fashion insiders have added this to their autumn rotations, paired with soft knitwear and tailoring, smart blazers and capri pants and just about everything else. Whilst it remains an insider favourite for now, this bag is sure to be a sell-out success. Trust me, autumn 2026 will be all about the Brooklyn bag.
