This New It Bag Has Become An Instant Classic—Here's How it Surpassed the Trends
Hailey Bieber's status as a style icon certainly isn't anything new, but after studying some of the looks she wore this spring in New York City, I must say her style has never been this good. From simple workout outfits for trips to Gotham Gym to skirt-and-jacket ensembles for errands around Tribeca, every look she's been spotted wearing the last few weeks has been perfection.
That said, something about her most recent look stands out. And that something is the introduction of a single item: her handbag. Over the last few days, the model and Rhode founder hasn't stopped carrying a white version of Bottega Veneta's new Andiamo bag, which is already one of 2024's most talked-about purses despite only recently being released last year. Bieber wore a baby blue 16Arlington blazer dress, matching Jil Sander heels, and a vintage Porsche cap with the small calf-leather Intrecciato bag.
Also spotted on Kylie Jenner, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Jacob Elordi, the Andiamo bag was last year's most coveted designer items of the year, and, honestly, it's a miracle there's still a few styles left in stock. Now, in 2024, it has surpassed the trends and become an instant classic that we'll come back to year after year as an iconic style. Keep scrolling to shop Bieber's bag and other equally covetable Bottega bags below.
On Hailey Bieber: 16Arlington dress; Jil Sander heels; Porsche hat; Bottega Veneta Andiamo Small Intrecciato Leather Tote (£2960)
Shop Bottega Veneta's Andiamo bag:
If you prefer a more roomy bag, opt for the medium size.
Classic bags needn't be boring. This playful style will look so good with jeans and trainers or a smart dress and blazer look.
The large is the most luxurious ludicrously capacious bag I've seen. Ever.
A crossbody bag is always a good investment thanks to its practical elements.
Shop more Bottega Veneta bags:
Roomy enough for all the essentials but still chic enough to earn you major fashion points.
Ok, this might just be my absolute favourite of the bunch. The shape, the shade, the fabrication... It has everything going for it.
Picture this with white linen and tan sandals... or with indigo jeans and a cashmere knit.
A very cute shoulder bag that is just big enough for your card, phone and keys. What more could you want?
