The Irish design handbags we’re loving lately

The Irish design handbags we’re loving lately

From eye-catching metallic and bold leopard print to the wear-everywhere leather shoulder bag, here are some of our absolute favourite handbags from Irish designers at the moment.

I absolutely adore this Aisling Duffy star bag with a patchwork ruffle. It’s made with up-cycled fabrics, is entirely one-of-a-kind, and ties shut with a sweet little ribbon. I also love this leopard print mini from the Limerick-based brand, byReidin. Both of these handbags immediately kick a more minimal look into the next gear.

I want and need just about every handbag on the August Night website, and their new spring collection features three styles crafted in crisp gilded cotton that immediately grab attention. And for a night out handbag that will hold all the essentials, you can’t beat a KALO bag.
