Welcome to our list of The Best Bags From Milan Fashion Week Fall 24!
Milan Fashion Week has come to an end, so it is time to see the most amazing bags from the new collections. From some old time classics at Fendi to some new and trendy designs at Gucci the Fall/Winter 24 bags are worth taking a look at!
So, without further ado here are The Best Bags From Milan Fashion Week Fall 24:
Bottega Veneta
For his Fall 24 collection Matthieu Blaze focused on the day-to-day, he wanted to make a monument out of the everyday. These wear clothes made for daily life, but there was nothing ordinary about them. From coats to skirts and dresses there weren’t many embellishments but the pieces were far from simple, the technique was in the fabric itself.
As for the bags we saw some Bottega icons appear once more. The Hop was showed in both intreciatto and smooth leather. As was the Cabat and the Andiamo, both totes were the perfect fit for this “everyday” idea. Double bags continue to be a theme for the brand, pairing a small flap with a big tote for ultimate style delivery. The Sardine was showed in a few different iterations and also a sardine clutch was introduced, as a new playful twist on the style. The newness of the collection came in way of the Kalimero Città, an intrecciato flap bag with a knotted handle, and also another flap with a gold buckle, both great everyday pieces.
You can see how Blazy is tapping into Bottega Veneta’s origins of Italian craft and timeless style, all done with a new and contemporary flair.
Ferragamo
About his Fall 24 collection designer Maximillian Davis said: “The 1920s used clothing as a way to celebrate freedom. And that expression of freedom is something that resonates with me, my heritage, and with Ferragamo.” The 20’s were present is some feathered and fringed party dresses but most of the collection represented a different 20’s one with a somber and military aspect to it. There were some long belted coats, dresses, suits and overalls, making us wonder how similar to the 1920’s the 2020’s actually are.
As for the bags the Hug was presented in many different shapes like shoulder, clutch and tote, proving it will continue to be an It Bag in the seasons to come. The new Ferragamo bag the Fiamma was also a standout piece of the collection, showed in different colors and sizes. The utilitarian aspect of the collection was made clear in the big practical totes that made the rounds. There was also a little party in the form of mini Hug bags embellished with feathers and crystals.
Maximilian Davis was tasked with the revival of the classic Italian brand, we can see how he caters to a younger and modern clientele without loosing the core of Ferragamo. I have to say I have been really enjoying his work so far.
Versace
Donatella Versace said the collection was about rebel girls like Siouxsie Sioux and shy genius boys like Price. The collection was as refined and polished as you can expect from Versace, it was a little grunge but not overdone. Structured jackets, hourglass silhouettes and tweed suits showed how Versace can master the quiet aesthetic without loosing its flair.
The bags were overall classic silhouettes with iconic Versace motifs. Like the top handles with the Medusa buckle that were showed in different colors and prints. As well as the flap bag with a chain strap that also featured a small Medusa clasp. From big tote bags to small clutches there were many options to suit all tastes. There were even some woven leather bags that are strangely similar to Bottega Veneta.
A paired back collection of wearable clothes with a little Versace sparkle. In a time of economic crisis it seems like the smart thing to do.
Gucci
My favorite show of the season, I have to say I’ve been loving Sabato De Sarno for Gucci. He said about the collection: “I don’t have a theme—ever, My theme is the clothes.” De Sarno continues to present what he calls wardrobe essentials, streamlined classic pieces with a Gucci flair of course. Like the collections I showed before this one the clothes were understated and timeless, but in no way were they simple or ordinary. From long coats to see-trough dresses the collection was streamlined, elegant and fun, combining both the practicality of everyday garments with the excitement of some unique pieces. If these are closet essentials I feel I have some serious catching up to do.
As for the bags there was a new half-moon bag in patent leather with the double G logo that feels vintage and modern at the same time. There was also a dumpling like clutch with a gold chain that is very chic. The Jackie made the rounds in patent leather and croc-effect, in different colors. A new bamboo handle mini tote has a Gucci allure and a timeless silhouette. Another new bag showed was a padded flap bag with a top handle and the double G logo, inspired by the house archives I can see this bag becoming super popular in the upcoming seasons.
I enjoy fashion shows the most when they are about quality pieces made with the house’s historic codes and emblems, not when it is about viral instagram moments that are made to shock. That is why I enjoyed this one so much, unique pieces made with the classic Gucci style we all know and love.
Prada
For creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, the starting point of this collection was the Bow. At the same time representing nostalgia, femininity and youthfulness the bow came in coats, dresses and bags representing the romanticization of the past. The feminine bows were also juxtaposed by sharp tailoring and harsh silhouettes, with a utilitarian feel to them.
The bags wear all attached to small belts that hanged from the models arms, a unique detail that spoke to the 1950’s nostalgic feel of the collection. Many Prada Galleria bags were presented in different materials, prints and colors. As was the Cleo, showed both with and without the flap. The new Prada Buckle bag was the only bag that didn’t swing from the belt on the model’s arm, seeing it already has its characteristic belt buckle. There were also some embellished clutches, bucket bags and bowling bags, all with the removable belt buckle of course.
Overall this collection of opposites was wearable yet fun, with the nostalgia and the romance of the past somehow breathing new life into some classic Prada staples.
Fendi
Since Kim Jones was appointed as creative director 3 years ago he has been inspired by the Fendi women, specifically Delfina Delettrez Fendi, the houses artistic director of jewelry. He was inspired by the way she dresses but also by much more, like the house archives, England in the 1980’s, Japanese designers and Rome, the city where Fendi was founded. With so many different inspirations the result could be a bit chaotic, but what we saw instead was a cohesive collection of utilitarian staples that were elegant and wearable. From structured coats to dresses with classicist prints the pieces represent the Fendi woman, and what she expresses trough her fashion.
For the bags Silvia Venturini Fendi was inspired by the 99 years of Fendi history, and revived the classics of the house. The Fendi By The Way was brought bag in a few sizes and colors, that breath new life into this old favorite. The classic Peekaboo bag was of course present in different leathers, colors, prints and embellished by charms. The Baguette bag was printed in different classicist prints, tying them with the theme of the collection. The surprise was a new bag that is a mid sized or mini satchel called the Simply, which was often accompanied with other different sized bags, proving Fendi is also a fan of the double bag trend.
I have to say I’m not usually a fan of Fendi’s ready-to-wear collections but this one was a concise, cohesive collection that was elegant and practical, and it showcased some amazing bags!
