The best bags of right now: Louis Vuitton Coussin, Versace La Medusa & more
Versace has just launched a line of La Medusa bags marked its bold colours and thick chain strap. Of the line, Donatella Versace herself favours the bag in DV Blue. She shared: “Blue is my favorite colour because for me it represents freedom. When I am in the sea, I feel free. When I’m surrounded by elements of nature and clear blue skies, I feel truly happy and all that is wrong in the world disappears. The world becomes blue.”

Kate Spade's Spring 2021 collection revealed an icon of the season, the Knott Satchel. Crafted in pebble leather, the bag sports a subtle knot at the gusset, with cinched sides and inside, all the pockets a girl could ask for. The Knott Satchel comes in mini, medium, and large, in a range of colours.

Tod's Shirt Bag is one to get excited about. The bag is made with the softest leather, folding to create a shape that reminds you of folding a crisp shirt. It's all leather, no metal -- there's no edge, and no straight lines. “We wanted to give it a
“cocoon” effect by using soft leather folded as if to look like a precious blossom," shared Walter Chiapponi, creative director at Tod's.

Dior has led the way in recent years with show-stopping bags like the Saddle and Book Tote. The brand's latest bag is called DiorTravel, a small vanity adorned with the "Christian Dior" signature and carnage motif, a House signature code. Bonus: items in the bag have an easier time staying upright -- no more hand sanitiser spills.

Louis Vuitton introduced the Coussin bag during its Spring/Summer 2021 Women's show, an anticipated moment for a bag the House is highlighting this year. Lambskin leather is used along with materials like a cotton strap and an aluminium chain that allows the bay to be worn as a crossbody, baguette, or tucked under the arm. The Coussin is available in colours like silver, cream, black, in two sizes.
