Wallpaper - 09.2019

There’s a sculptural sensibility behind autumn’s

most envy-inducing bags. Part accessory, part

objet, they will complement a console table as

much as a cocked wrist. Pared-back, deconstructed

shapes reflect a modernist mindset, and handles

are carved from the main body of bags to create

wearable windows. Bottega Veneta and Published

By are spearheading the sculptural trend, with

designs resembling military holders and glossy

meteorites, formed from padded leather, angular

metal and recycled microfibre. Elsewhere, this

Loewe bag is a re-edition of a style from its 1980s

‘Great Architects’ collection, a design that’s perfect

for complementing both outfit and mantelpiece.
