Four years after launching its first leather apparel collection, British fashion house Muubaa is finally adding handbags to the mix.
The purses are made from the same soft cow and lamb leathers we’ve seen in the brand’s clothing lines. They also share the apparel’s sophisticated, yet slightly edgy, sense of style. The leathers have been washed, puckered, or distressed to give them a worn in, weathered finish. Large rivets, padlocks, and lobster claws decorate the bags and up the attitude. They’re available in a range of sizes and styles, from small clutch purses to everyday satchels and large duffles for weekends away.
The Nerissa Duffle pictured is just one of the handbags in Muubaa’s new collection. I like the way the modern details work with the conservatively colored brown lamb leather. Choosing a neutral hue ensures all that metal doesn’t seem too overwhelming or trend conscious, as well as making it easy to work into your wardrobe.
The various sizes of the Muubaa bags see the prices ranging from $299 for the smallest to $750 for the largest. That’s on the high side, but also not unreasonable for such quality leather items. They’ll be available at selected stores on America’s East and West Coast, and at the Muubaa website.
