Handbag enthusiasts, this is for you! This week, Acne Studios releases its latest handbag accessories worldwide: the ‘Musubi’ bags. These latest additions to Acne’s collection comprise three unique styles, including the shopper, the handbag and the clutch.

While quite different in style, all three bags feature the twisted-knot motif on the front, inspired by the obi sash found in traditional Japanese wear, particularly dresses. This, along with the detailed white hand-stitching, give the bags a truly artisanal look and feel.

Handcrafted in Italy, the Musubi bags are made from the finest calf leather, with a contrasting lining. They are now available to buy in Acne Studios stores, as well as online, with handbags ranging from £800 to £1,300. We at Wylde, are particularly smitten with the Musubi Shopper in black costing €1500. Mmm, leathery goodness!
