Manolo Blahnik has always been a guy who does things at his own pace. While almost all designers hopped on the platform bandwagon in the mid-2000s, Blahnik was steadfast, sticking with the single-sole shoes he’s produced decades. now that the shoe pattern pendulum has firmly swung in his direction, the designer has set his sights on a bag line for the very first time.
Women’s wear everyday reported earlier this week that although Blahnik has designed one-off purses to match specific shoes during his career, the bags that are set to show up in stores soon make up the designer’s very first full line. If you’ve been looking for a new evening bag, look no further–the line is completely clutches, all with intricate, jeweled ornamentation.
Blahnik fans will acknowledge a few of the ornaments, including the Hangisi buckle, which now graces a square evening bag that’s offered in several colors of satin. The Hangisi Pump ($965 via Neiman Marcus) played a big function in the second Sex as well as the City movie–it was the pair of shoes Carrie left in the wardrobe of the new apartment huge bought her.
The association, in addition to the formality of the bags, means that the style is likely to be a hit with brides, as the shoes have been for years. Take a look at the Hangisi clutch as well as more below; if you’re thinking about buying, the bags will be offered before the end of July at the Blahnik flagships in both new York City as well as London, in addition to at liberty as well as Harrods, according to vogue UK.
