The conversation around the next it-bag seems to be never-ending. In the last few years, there’s been a shifting focus toward big bags as the latest fashion accessory. It’s not entirely that either: a focus on bags that opt for functionality, versatility, and serve as a leather canvas for the wearer’s charms, accessories, and keychain toys, as an indicator of a life lived, a loud personality on display. Fashion houses have followed suit. In the last few seasons, we’ve seen different renditions of these bags come fresh off the runway. From oversized totes, large sackbags, and voluminous holdalls, there’s no end to our need for controlled chaos.
This time, Jacquemus has a new offering that complements their iconic lineup. Since the brand made a cultural-shifting wave with the release of the infamous Le Chiquito, a macro-sized carrying case that packed a giant punch, in 2018, they’ve released a series of bangers since then. The practical Le Bambino. The petite Le Bisou. And now, the Le Turismo.
The Le Turismo debuted in 2023 as part of the house’s push toward spacious, pragmatic accessories that are still well aligned with the Jacquemus house codes. This bag is equal parts playful-yet-professional, and an understated, ‘IFYKYK’ pick for many, including stars like Hongjoong of ATEEZ. With an interesting silhouette, the Le Turismo rejects slouchiness and stands itself upright. It is a soft bowling bag that encases itself in grained calf-skin leather, has a full double zip enclosure, and sports a strategically placed bow detail.
This bag offers versatility like no other. It fits all your needs that span from a busy 5-day workweek to a restful weekend getaway. Office accoutrements can easily be swapped with vacation essentials, and while the Le Turismo’s size isn’t exactly humble like its siblings, it fits just about enough for the average person. Accessories-wise, a personal touch of keychains or whichever choice of chaotic customisations would sit nicely against the smooth leather as a backdrop. If you fancy the Le Turismo, you can purchase it at Club 21 COMO Orchard.
