In the same way that there’s always a sandal you see on just about every foot, every season there are a small number of bags that reach cult status and find themselves being toted by everyone from a-list celebrities to the woman sitting next to you at work.
The start of the year may have played host to a slightly pricier hit piece in the form of the Chloé ‘C’ bag, this season the fashion industry is championing a slightly more affordable piece.
Complét is a handbag label headed up by three friends, Emily, Sivan and Leonora, whose pieces are designed in Tel Aviv before being made in Italy with high-quality Italian leathers produced by artisans in Northern Italy.
And while they have a series of different designs, it’s their Valery bag that we’re predicting big things for.
Every minimalist fashion fan’s dream, these bags feature a slim, rectangular shape with a large looped handle to either tote or rest on the crook of the arm.
Boasting seemingly endless incarnations of the same style in various monochrome hues, the smaller versions also come with a belt strap, offering up a modern, blissfully hands-free approach.
Already spotted on the arm of many fashion editors and influencers, they’re even making their way into the celebrity circuit with one recently spotted being toted by the one and only Celine Dion.
We’re sold.
