Designer Ela Kowalewska didn’t fall for the overwhelming palette of fluorescent tones and crayon box colours for her first collection of clutches, messengers and tote bags. Instead, she focused on developing the line’s signature details, including asymmetrical flaps and angled hardware, in materials like supple nubuck and stiff canvas. The bags are instant classics and the sleeper hit of an otherwise manic fashion season.
Asymmetrical tote in blue canvas, $380, Chasse Gardée.
