Crafted from glossy padded shell, Acne Studios’ black Aslan tote bag is an apt example of the Scandinavian label’s contemporary aesthetic. It has a rectangular shape with a zipped top and rolled handles, then is hallmarked at the front with the signature yellow Face patch – a symbol of the Swedish notion of lagom, meaning ‘not too happy, not too sad.’
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.
