Between maxi volumes, deconstructed silhouettes and suede textures, the bags spotted on the catwalks they mix functionality and elegance. From handbags to XL clutch bags, the watchword is only one: refinement, in all shades of grey.

The soft bag, a seasonal trend
In light or dark grey, the sack bag is rightfully among the strongest autumn trends. The rigid structures of the classic tote bags leave room for soft textures and fluid volumes, which adapt naturally to the body and give the look a relaxed elegance.
