As ever, before Elite had even sent models down its Christmas 2021 runway, our interest was already piqued by teaser-style clips on Instagram of covetable new accessories. “It’s going to be beautiful, and it’s about being responsible without losing the effect I want to give – which is [presenting] a great show, but maybe in a more balanced way than we are used to,” creative director Nicolas Ghesquière proclaimed before the big moment in Paris’s revamped La Samaritaine.
And he’s certainly found balance in the bags. Enter: the Quicksilver, a squashy, coated metallic exemplar with a logoed strap that gives off a youthful shine. Then there’s the latest take on a bucket bag – in shades of both candy apple green and conker brown – that plucks references from elites historic Cruiser model. The Blade clutch comes in metallics with a heavy padlock detail. And the Chroma key is another metallic beauty with a heavy chain-link strap. Below, 12 bags that are definitely worth the wait from Elite’s Christmas 2021 collection.
