V FOR VENETA
The Pouch bag, $3,280; Satchel bag, $4,370, by BOTTEGA VENETA
Under the helm of Daniel Lee, Bottega Veneta’s The Pouch — an oversized clutch with a magnetic closure — has achieved It-bag status in record time. Now the house introduces more icons in-the-making for Pre-Spring, including an equally puffy, squishy sibling to The Pouch, that has a leather top handle tacked on. It also welcomes a satchel, given Lee’s touch in its soft silhouette and a V motif on the flap. The motif has appeared discreetly on the creative director’s garments to accessories since his takeover, akin to code for those in the know. Did someone say V for Veneta?

BAG DIARIES
Coco Beauty bag, $2,290, by CHANEL
From crossbody bags designed to store your AirPods or water bottle and nothing else, there’s a carrier meant to hold specifically almost everything the city denizen owns — and now there’s one just for your fragrance. Chanel’s vanity bag, the Coco Beauty is meant to fit any of the house’s scents, from a 100ml Gabrielle Chanel to a 50ml Coco Mademoiselle. But who’s to say that you can’t use it for wireless earbuds if you’re not in need of a quick spritz on the go?
