Fit and Practicality

The Berlin has a slim, tapered shape that measures 23cm wide at the base and opens to 32cm at the top. At 8cm deep, it has more room inside than you'd expect. It holds a phone, wallet, keys, sunglasses and a lipstick comfortably, while still sitting neatly under the arm. Because it's so light, it's easy to carry all day, and the zip closure keeps everything secure when you're out and about.

Best For

• Everyday wear when you only need the essentials
• Lunches, coffee dates and weekends in town
• Evenings out and dinners where a large bag would feel too much
• Weddings and christenings as a practical alternative to a clutch
• Adding texture to simple knitwear and tailoring
• Women who want a compact bag that doesn't feel too small

Styling Guidance

Woven textures and soft, muted neutrals are two of the strongest bag trends this season, and the Berlin brings them together. Wear it tucked under the arm with a cream knit, straight-leg trousers and loafers for a clean, relaxed look, or carry it with a camel coat and suede boots for a tonal autumn outfit. In summer, it pairs well with linen, white denim and sandals. The antique brass hardware suits gold jewellery best.

• Works well with: camel and cream coats, fine knitwear, tailored trousers, linen dresses
• Colour palette: cream, camel, chocolate, olive, soft grey
