Mark Cross Red Grace Small Leather Box Bag

One of Mark Cross’s most iconic shapes and favoured by many A-listers, the Grace Box Bag was designed in the late 1950s. It was inspired by the overnight case created for Grace Kelly in “Rear Window” and is updated each season in new colourways and sizes. This signature piece displays the Grace lock, 18-carat gold- plated hardware and a top handle with an adjustable crossbody strap. The Grace Box is a timeless accessory and can be worn with elegant midi skirts or for a more modern look with wide leg jeans and trainers.

Bulgari Purple Serpenti Forever Leather Shoulder Bag

The iconic serpent motif has been reimagined by Bulgari since the 1940s. It’s now become a high fashion staple, with the Serpenti Forever bag being one of the house’s most desirable creations. The Serpenti head symbolises rebirth, as a snake continually sheds its skin. “The Serpenti is a symbol of power and seduction, but it is also transformative,” Lucia Silvestri, Bulgari’s creative director said in an interview.

With its highly appealing sleek silhouette, this stunning, dazzling wisteria jade version is an irresistible and charming piece. In a metallic amethyst finish with the trademark bejewelled serpent house emblem and gold-toned chain handle, this one was made for disco queens. The first Serpenti bag debuted in 2012’s Fall/Winter collection and the rest is history.

Gucci Beige Dionysus London Supreme Canvas Shoulder Bag

Hands up if you knew that Gucci’s iconic Dionysus which debuted in Gucci’s Fall 2015 collection was inspired by the Greek God Dionysus, son of Zeus? 

Rumour has it that Dionysus transformed himself into a tiger so he could marry a young nymph across the Tigris River. It is said that Greek Gods possess superpowers including vitality, longevity and resistance to injury, which all play a significant role in the creation of Gucci’s Dionysus. 

This London edition of the iconic Gucci Dionysus was released as part of a 2015 limited edition collection of handbags created to pay homage to different cities across the world; launched in-stores of the bags’ respective city by Gucci.
