From Dior to Moynat: The battle of box bags

Whether you look back or forward, box bags have always been chic essentials in the fashion world. Not only good to keep our wallets, cardholders, phones and cosmetics organised, the box bag also exudes a bold yet elegant style. 

From the classics to new trendy comers, these are the ones that we’re feeling right now. 

Dior: 30 Montaigne 

Inspired by the House’s birthplace in Paris, Creative Director Maria Grazia Chiuri created the new 30 Montaigne handbag to represent the identity of Dior. Featuring an eye-catching gold-coloured clasp with the initial “CD”, the bag comes in five colours and two monogram prints. Well-proven by fashion influencers such as Chiara Ferragni, Chriselle Lim, Natalia Vodianova, Susie Bubble and Yoyo Cao, the bag goes well with not only casual wear, but also evening dresses if you’re planning a night out.  

Burberry: ‘TB’ monogram

Ever since fashion designer Ricardo Tisci has been appointed as the Chief Creative Officer of Burberry, we’ve seen mind-blowing changes of the House’s new collection and the Spring/Summer’19 campaign. In memory of the founder Thomas Burberry, his initials ‘TB’ are embellished in the monogram leather bag. Spanning from small, medium to large sizes, it comes in different colours such as black, dark brown and crimson. 

Louis Vuitton: Dauphine 

Presented at the Louis Vuitton Cruise 2020 show, Creative Director Nicolas Ghesquière made the new classic bag Dauphine for all the monogram lovers out there. Featuring the House’s signature print, expect to carry it through all the seasons. It also comes with a magnetic lock and a chain strap. Wear it on shoulder or hold it like a clutch in different occasions. Step up the game with the new it-bag.

Valentino: Vsling 

Under the direction of Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli, the House has entered a new era after launching the VLTN line and VRing in recent years. Note: it’s just the beginning. Showcased at the Fall/Winter 2019 show, Piccioli never disappoint us by introducing the new VSling bag. Featuring the house’s new logo and a stylish chain, it comes in various sizes and colours. Stay tuned if you’re looking to buy. 

Saint Laurent: Le 61

Founded in 1961, Saint Laurent, never lets us down when it comes to accessories. The new leather bag ‘Le 61’ is an ode to the brand’s identity throughout the decades. What we love the most about this bag is how vintage it looks. We’re pretty confident that when you look back after years, it will still look spectacular with a white shirt and a pair of denim jeans. Colours such as black, white, midnight blue and dark green will never go wrong with your outfits. 

Celine: Triomphe 

Creative Director Heidi Slimane introduced the Triomphe box bag after his appointment in 2018. Inspired by the 1973 logo, it’s pretty similar to one of the most famous monuments in Paris, the Arc de Triomphe. Whether you’re an aficionado of old Celine or not, it’s time to consider to update your bag collection now. 

Rejina Pyo: Olivia 

Summer’s just around the corner and we’re sure that some of you have started looking for beach bags. British fashion house Regina Pyo is known for its signature Olivia croc-effect bag. With a detachable strap, you’ll be able to transform from beachwear to evening dress effortlessly. Also, if you’re looking for an affordable box bag, this would be it. 

Moynat: Vanity 

Let’s just admit that Vanity is one of the most recognisable box bags in this list. Not only for its shape, but also for the stylish design and storage space that we love. Founded in 1849, French luxury house Moynat is well-known for their traditional craftsmanship and high-quality materials. Without a doubt, it’s worth every dollar. 

Prada: Belle 

Designed by Creative Director Miuccia Prada, the Belle leather bag is exactly what every woman needs. Featuring a detachable handle, metal chain, the lettering logo on the back, it’s stylish-looking yet classy. We know that there are always some days that you want to go for an elegant look instead of street style – Here you go!

Mark Cross: Grace

For those who’re looking to invest in the classics, read up. Seen on fashion influencers such as Alexa Chung and Kate Foley, the Mark Cross box bag is one of the most timeless styles on earth, which means it literally goes well with every outfit you pick. The Grace shoulder bag has more than enough room for your lipsticks, cardholder and phone.
