Hold your horses: Maison Alaïa has got a brand new bag and it’s yours for the taking. Dubbed the Demi-Lune bag, this marvellous creation comes crafted in a variety of luscious leathers. If it’s the perfect partner in crime you need, then the slick “nappa” leather has got your back, but there’s also a perforated leather offering for those who fancy themselves a taste of punk personified. And what’s more, the lux leopard print outer is ace if you’re on the hunt for something a little more carnal.
Emblematic of Alaïa in every aspect, the bag’s lightweight, crescent moon shape slips softly under the shoulder and nests against the body as if it’s born to be by your side.
This expertly collated collection of purses is offered in a range of hues – our favourite being the fiery fuchsia moment – raring and ready to zhuzh up your every day. But its cool colours aren’t the only features that make this piece so drop dead gorgeous, oh no. As if it were a precious jewel, Alaïa’s Demi-Lune comes embellished by a range of silver bells and dome or toroid studs, with leather hinges that embody the essence of Alaïa’s radical ready-to-wear collections.
This satchel takes the signature architectural aesthetic of creative director Pieter Mulier’s first collection for the house, and merges it with modern magnetism attuned to a new archetypal Alaïa. Fluid, flexible and versatile, does it get any better?
