Rag & Bone is adding handbags to its contemporary fashion range.
The label says purses will join its Newbury boots and androgynous apparel items next season. It’s acting quite coy about the details at the moment, although the leather accessories it sent down the fall runways should give us some indication of what’s in store.
Those boxy bags were made of leather in neutral brown hues, so it makes sense that the Rag & Bone accessories released to the public will have some of these characteristics. Although as it hasn’t leaked early photos like so many labels do, we’re really left to speculate. What are you expecting from Rag & Bone?
This isn’t Rag & Bone’s first foray into the accessories market. The label’s released the occasional casual tote, duffel, wallet, and cosmetics case over the past few years. However this will be the first time we’ve seen the fashion house release a comprehensive handbag line. Early indications also seem to suggest that these handbags will be more luxurious than Rag & Bone’s previous accessories offerings, which are typically made from canvas and other fabrics rather than real leather.
Look for Rag & Bone’s handbags at Barneys New York stores and its signature boutiques, including its new Madison Avenue digs, this September.
