La Vague Leather Shoulder Bag

Simon Porte Jacquemus may have made a name for himself with micro bags, small enough for your lipgloss and not much else, but the self-taught creator is moving towards slightly roomier silhouettes with styles like La Vague. Inspired by its namesake (which translates from French to wave), this suede piece of arm candy boasts a curved shape to mimic water lapping up on the shores of the coastline. And, of course, it features a gold-tone moniker across the front.

• 100% leather

Essentially pared back and minimalist, self-taught French designer Simon Porte Jacquemus pairs tradition and modernity with playful irreverence. Classic references meet with unexpected proportions and distinctive details, in collections that are youthful, fresh, yet with a timeless elegance.
