callum one of my expert goals for this year was to spotlight lower understood brands, as well as while usually that means indie brands at a more contemporary cost point, today I’m discussing a high-end brand that I extremely frequently fail to remember even makes handbags: Byredo.
You may be familiar with Byredo thanks to their cult-favorite fragrance Gypsy Water. established in 2006, Byredo originally began as a maker of high-end perfumes, as well as its creator Ben Gorham was influenced by the link between scents as well as memories.
Though Byredo’s trajectory into purses as well as high-end products may seem a bit far off, it’s not uncommon for high-end brands to create both categories, nevertheless generally the fragrance comes second. Regardless, the move into leather products began in the late 2010s as well as was a natural progression for the brand. Byredo aims to “reinvent the world of high-end with a new approach”, as well as looking as well as its present bags it seems that they are doing just that.
Though Byredo is top of mind for me when believing about high-end fragrances, I frequently fail to remember that Byredo really makes purses as well. just recently I was scrolling with the rabbit hole that is instagram (I promise I’m doing this less—it’s one more resolution), when I spotted a smooth bag with clean, sharp lines in the hands of an incredibly stylish woman.
You’ll likely be thrilled to understand her follower count wasn’t equivalent to any type of number you’d kill to add to your bank account as well as therefore wouldn’t be thought about an ‘influencer’. I don’t even recall her account however I do recall the bag, it was Byredo.
I made a mental note as well as lastly got a possibility to inspect out a few of their present bags. My eye was instantly drawn to the Circuit medium Bag ($2,100). I instantly liked the clean lines as well as stitching, as well as was drawn to the bag’s general smooth silhouette. Its lack of branding was also, rather honestly, incredibly refreshing.
The Circuit Bag is crafted of traditional calfskin, as well as lined in elegant lambskin. While I was drawn to the downplayed calfskin version, the bag likewise is available in a truly stunning painted python version. Take a look at more silhouettes from Byredo below.
