So how to choose the ultimate bag and, more importantly, how to make it personal? A good starting point should be the new Mica Mini Bowler, made in buttery soft pebble leather and warm shades of Dark Khaki, Brandy and Cashew. This clever compact features a bold utility pocket and brass hardware with a removable top handle and crossbody strap, making it a star piece when it comes to navigating work to weekend styling.
An intriguing Autumn palette is the season’s other subplot: take the Margot Tiny Bucket Bag seen in striking shades including North Sea, Whiskey, and Clotted Cream. Crafted in luxurious leathers, this is a favourite bucket style not just for its rich colourways but also for its stitched detailing and its statement on relaxed sophistication.
Also in the mix, the Florence Small Shoulder Bag - a must-have piece that can be worn in a number of ways, which is a styling saviour when it comes to rushed mornings. Note too, the Clara mini bag, and the appeal of a beautifully curved shape – we love this bestseller for its sculpted handle and bauble zipper, its statement hardware lends the bag polish, a clear modern touch.
And that’s precisely the point: Oroton’s designers are always considering how best to balance timeless lines with modernity, and how to push the traditions of the house forward whilst honouring its codes and craft. Hence, the strong structured shapes, the ultra-luxe leathers and the brass hardware that nods to both vintage detailing and minimalism. Best of all, these new collection bags double as evening clutches on nights out. In other words, if you have to dash straight to dinner from work, you’re all good here.
