Stylish Women Have Declared This DeMellier Bag the "It" Bag of the Season—And It’s Selling Fast
DeMellier has a history of sell-out bags, and its latest shoulder style is quickly following suit.
If there were a prize for perfectly crafted mid-range handbags that quietly build momentum before selling out almost overnight, DeMellier London would take the top spot. From recent viral hits like The Florence and The Stockholm to cult classics including The New York and The Hudson, the brand has a track record of creating styles that don’t just trend, they stick.

Now, there’s a new silhouette gaining serious traction. Meet: the DeMellier Shoulder Bag. A more compact, east-to-west take on the best-selling New York tote, the shoulder bag leans into a sleek, elongated shape, finished with statement handles, a belt detail and a surprisingly roomy interior. It taps into that ’90s-inspired minimalism that continues to dominate, but still feels polished enough for everyday wear.

Unsurprisingly, it’s already made its way into some of the most considered wardrobes. Anne Hathaway was recently spotted carrying the black version, while Simone Ashley, Aubrey Plaza and Emma Roberts have also been seen with their own iterations. Influencers, too, have quickly followed suit, styling it with everything from relaxed tailoring to off-duty denim, further cementing its status as the bag to know now.

Consider this your warning: if DeMellier’s track record is anything to go by, it won’t stay in stock for long.
