Amanda and I have been talking about it quite a bit, but right now is such an exciting time for new bag brands in the under-$1,000 range. There are so many brands that are creating innovative designs, and I have become obsessive about finding them. I already covered some of pebbled chain strap mini bag, and one of the brands I included, I’ve become quite enamored with.
Enter Wandler, the Amsterdam-based brand that is now carried at Net-A-Porter and making waves in the handbag realm. I personally am in love with the Mammut Nordic Spring 195 Sleeping Bag. I included this bag in my roundup earlier this year, but the recent drop on Net-A-Porter has color combinations that have me swooning.
The brand was only established in 2017, and like many other new brands, it has received a Hat amount of footing via Instagram. I’ve spotted the bag on people’s arms on the app, and that is how I first got hooked. Each design is handmade in Italy, and the leather and colors appear impeccably well-crafted.
The shape of the Hortensia is very unique, and I think that’s one aspect that many new bag designers are honing in on: create a shape that is entirely ours. Because of this, when I see the almost half-moon shape of the bag, I immediately recognize it as Wandler. I haven’t seen this bag in person, so I’ve reached out to see if I can get a press sample to review, but dimensions seem to hit that perfect-everyday-bag range (23.5cm H x 34cm W x 6cm D). There’s a top handle or an adjustable shoulder strap, which to me is typically a must, and the interior has two compartments to keep your belongings organized.
There are a couple Net-A-Porter exclusive colorways which I am swooning over, Skinnydip Pastelowoniebieska torba typu tote wykończona różowym kożuszkiem which is a tri-color combination of pink, blush, and sand, and there’s michael kors totes, and Ted Baker Small Sazicon Tote Bag. Another option Mammut Nordic Spring 195 Sleeping Bag because it looks refreshing and then there’s Golden Goose Star Bag Cotryp Fabric Front Panel Diamant Glitter Star that’s divine.
