Inspired by the simplicity of life, the latest collection boasts a minimalist aesthetic

Inspired by the Danish hygge concept, a feeling of cosy contentment and well-being derived from the simple things in life — this seasons stunning selection of bags and shoes features a chic back-to-basics aesthetic. Reflecting a simpler time, this season, the brand gets creative with form, and plays with volume and proportion. The resulting minimalist aesthetic and sophisticated neutral palette is understated yet creative. The Terrazzo, a hygge décor staple, has been translated into a greyscale print and applied across much of the collection.

Shoe designs are seasonal staples with a twist. The innovative Lucile range, which features sandals in three familiar silhouettes — flat crossover sandals, platform sandals and stiletto heel sandals have been given a padded strap revamp and come with matching socks, transforming them into versatile transeasonal pieces.

Complementing the shoe line are the Zadie padded chain handle bag and the Charlot crossbody bag. The puffy Zadie Bag, whose padded texture evokes a sense of comfort while the chunky gold metal chain elevates it in the style stakes, is a versatile carryall that transforms easily from work to play.
