Sure, we might heavily associate Acne Studios with Scandi-minimalism, but plain? Never; the smooth leather and angular silhouette of the Alexandria bag proves it. The shape is all the drama it needs, so the rest is kept simple with subtle foil branding on the flap, and knotted embellishments at either end of the cross-body strap which are inspired by traditional Japanese obi sashes. Understated and authoritative all at once, this piece is unmistakably Acne.
Swedish design collective ACNE was founded in 1997 by Jonny Johansson. Initially specialising in jeans the brand now is a byword for modern classics infused with Scandinavian cool as seen in the likes of Stella and Elle.
