Aesther Ekme

For women, a handbag is so much more than a fashion accessory. It’s a practical companion that holds everything they need to navigate their unique lifestyle. Aesther Ekme certainly stands out as the perfect lifestyle partner with its handbag designs that seamlessly blends aestheticism with functionality.

Taking inspiration from Brazilian modernism and Scandinavian minimalism, Aesther Ekme’s bags have a distinct and ergonomic shape, designed specifically to follow the contours of your body, allowing for ease of movement. One of its standout pieces is the Lune—a line of asymmetrical hobo bags. Structured, but relaxed, the collection is the perfect everyday handbag for those who are seeking a sophisticated and functional piece.

Wandler

Amsterdam-based luxury brand Wandler takes modernism into another level with its edgy, but elegant pieces. Founded in 2017, the brand features a line of shoes and handbags, crafted from sustainably-sourced leather.

A key aspect of Wandler’s designs is the combination of structure with rounded silhouettes. Its debut collection, the Hortensia, is a stunning take on round bags. Coming in a variety of colors and sizes, it can also be worn as a handbag or crossbody bag–lending itself to unlimited styling options. Feminine with a modern edge, it is the ultimate statement piece for the contemporary woman.

NEOUS

The understated look has never looked better with NEOUS, a line of handbags and footwear crafted by independent artisans in Italy. Founder and designer Vanissa Antonious blends the fluid lines of minimalism with a crafted femininity in her designs, creating truly timeless works of art.

One of NEOUS’ most popular collections is the Phoenix crossbody bag, which features a bespoke spherical magnetic closure in vintage gold. Simple and minimalist, it’s perfect for those who are looking for a timeless piece to add to their collections.

Maria Black

Elegance juxtaposed by a hint of playfulness, Maria Black seemingly takes you into the future of minimalism with its interpretation on jewelry staples. Its recent collections capture the vibrancy of Japan’s cities and culture.

Interesting shapes serve as the groundwork of the brand’s designs. Some of these include the Omotesando collection, which features chunky pieces that embody the bold energy of Japan’s luxury shopping and architectural hub. Meanwhile, the Shibuya collection, crafted from freshwater pearls, is reminiscent of Tokyo’s city lights. Lastly, the Ramen takes on a rather unconventional and organic shape–similar to the noodles it’s named after. If you’re seeking understated, but fun pieces, look no further than this sculptural jewelry line.

Otiumberg

Adding jewelry to your ensemble is a great way to elevate your overall look, but where do you begin in choosing which pieces to wear? London-based jewelry brand Otiumberg makes for the perfect everyday jewelry with its stylish, but functional designs.

What makes Otiumberg so interesting is how it takes any trend and makes it their own. The Stilla necklace and drop earrings are a stunning take on the classic teardrop shape. Meanwhile, their paperclip necklaces have mixed metals and mixed sizes versions, perfect for those who cannot decide on what to wear. With its versatility, the brand is perfect for those who are just building their collection or those who wish to make any style their own.

Suot Studio

The journey to discovering your personal style is so deep and personal. It’s a matter of connecting ideas and pushing the boundaries of creativity to communicate your unique story to the world. Suot Studio perfectly encapsulates this energy with its bold and eclectic take on jewelry designs. 

Founded in 2021 by Marta Tous, creative director of Tous Jewelry, the experimental brand mixes jewelry and visual art. Its core collection, a line of modular earrings called the Conexiones, stands out with its metal plates that you can attach individual pieces into.

The plates, crafted from silver vermeil, come in various shapes–a minimalist straight line and unorthodox u and s shapes–that you can drill holes into, depending on the number of pieces you want to attach to it. Stud earrings crafted from recycled gemstones serve as connectors, allowing you to either attach two plates together or simply adorn one–creating infinite combinations. The Conexiones can be worn as a whole or by its parts, giving you the freedom to style it in any way you can imagine.
