AN UNDER-STATEMENT

While some wearers feel a need to be seen carrying the latest must-have bag, others prefer more understated accessories to signal they are 'in the know'.

Quality craftsmanship, clean lines and stripped-back design with sustainable materials and the absence of prominent emblems are subtle ingredients that deliberately avoid drawing attention.

This trend relies on timeless design as well as the wearer’s informed knowledge about discreet details rather than on obvious logo recognition.
