From Copenhagen to Stockholm, the scandi style is characterized by its minimalism, functionality and of course its beauty! The past years have witnessed a rise in popularity of the Scandinavian style not only in fashion, but also interior design and lifestyle. Essentially, high quality, long lasting and timeless pieces are key to this aesthetic. Today, we're going to talk about the three most iconic and timeless bagssynonymous with scandi style, and why we love them so much.

 

Goyard Saint Louis 

Let’s kick things off with a classic: arguably the brand’s most iconic bag, the Saint Louis tote epitomizes the Scandinavian ethos of simplicity and quality. The brand is the perfect example of quiet luxury, being the oldest existing leather goods makers . The tote was created in the 1930s and is still a staple almost 100 years later, needless to say, the timelessness of this bag speaks for itself. Its popularity likely comes from its classy, minimalistic look, combined with the fact that its light as a feather, and holds so much. It comes in a wide variety of colors for all styles, the most popular being blue or green. Pair it with some jeans and an oversized blazer or a cozy jumper for the ultimate scandi look!

All your favorite celebrities had one in the early
2000s, including Kate Moss, the Olsen twins, Nicole Richie and basically every other IT girl.. It’s logo-less, relaxed silhouette combined with the iconic studding gives it an edginess all while staying classy, making it the perfect IT girl bag. The city bag is one of many sizes and styles featured in the motorcycle bag range, with many shapes and sizes being available, with different size studding and more colors than you can imagine. Once again, the outstanding quality of these bags combined with their functionality is what has popularized them among the scandi style.

Bottega Veneta Intrecciatio Hobo Bag

Bottega Veneta, established in Vicenza in 1966 has become a household name in the short time it has been in the industry, and for a reason. The Bottega Veneta artisanal leather goods are some of the best on the designer market, dedicated to the amazing traditional Italian craftsmanship. Indeed, the ‘Intrecciato’ pattern,
characterized by hand woven leather, has become the brand’s iconic look. This
pattern does not only make the bag strong and high quality, it is extremely elegant
and beautiful, adding an extra refined touch to an otherwise simple bag. The hobo
bag is an absolute timeless classic, with a relaxed yet elegant and minimalistic
silhouette, that fits perfectly on the shoulder.
