A few months ago, I was invited to view DeMellier's autumn/winter collection. As someone who has an extensive handbag collection, walking into a room with shelves filled with handbags was a real-life dream for me. Looking around, I was excited to see new updates that are coming to some of the most iconic styles for the brand, think the Hudson and the New York Tote (as soon as they launch, I'll be sure to update you). However, I found myself immediately drawn to a new style that, even months ago, I had earmarked as the It bag for autumn. Now, it's time to get ahead of the next sell-out style—the Siena bag (£475) has arrived.
By now, you may be well aware of DeMellier. The London-based brand has made a name for itself by creating timeless, high-quality bags that have all the appeal of a designer buy without the four-figure price tag. The refined aesthetic and anti-trend appeal of the pieces is what draws us in, and just when I thought the It-bag lineup was complete, I locked eyes with the Siena hobo bag.
It's the considered design details that always bring me back to the brand. Creating a bag that looks this elegant is one thing, but the practicality of a piece is what really sets it apart. The crescent shape is crafted to fit neatly over the shoulder, with an adjustable strap that can be altered when pulling on over a simple T-shirt, or over a heavy coat come winter. Of course, DeMellier has thought of everything, and the ends of the strap tuck neatly into leather tabs to secure to refined shape of the bag.
The spacious size is primed for everyday use, along with an interior zip pocket and exterior front pocket which secures with a magnetic padlock to keep your most essential items secure and close to hand. Currently, the style comes in four shades—black, tan, off-white and red—and is made from sustainably sourced Italian leather. With an elevated look, luxurious composition and versatile design, this is a bag you'll want to consider before it sells out.
