Looking for a structured tote or a versatile crossbody bag that’s got the finesse and finish of a luxury piece without the price tag? CHARLES & KEITH is the brand the international fashion set is cooing over.

If your aesthetic is quiet luxury and CHARLES & KEITH aren’t on your radar yet, the Singaporean brand should be. Letting sleek design and seamless craftsmanship do all the talking, its handbags have been going viral on TikTok as of late and we can see why.

With a plethora of design choices, you’re sure to find a bag to fill the void in your wardrobe, from an elevated everyday slouchy tote bag to pair with a wool winter coat, to a sparkly baguette number for a night on the tiles.

@ines_rzkl What’s in Ines’s bag ? bag de chez @CHARLESKEITHOFFICIAL *produit offert* #whatsinmybag #imwithcharleskeith #Bag ? original sound – CJ is just testing stuff – Aniaaa


Using sustainable production methods and fabrics such as vegan leather and recycled suede, you can even team your bag with a pair of CHARLES & KEITH’s signature heels and flats, as well as eyewear, accessories and costume jewellery that make up the complete collection.

We asked the IMAGE team to pick their favourites from CHARLES & KEITH’s designs.

Cesia Metallic Accent Shoulder Bag, €95

Keeping it classic with a chic one-shoulder number in a berry red, the Cesia is an easy office-to-bar option that’s available in five other colourways. Super soft yet durable with a gold-effect accent, it’s the perfect way to add a drop of sophistication to any outfit.

Hazel Bow Elongated Trapeze Shoulder Bag, €105

For a clean-lined twist on the already-viral Britton bag, the Hazel trapeze shoulder bag features two graceful bows on the simple, small bag that packs plenty of punch.

Pencil-thin shoulder straps add to the delicacy of the design, and as part of CHARLES & KEITH‘s responsible collection, it is made using recycled, degradable, organic and water-based materials.

XL Calla Faux Suede Tote Bag, €145

The last Calla XL bag restock sold out in twelve hours, and we’ve set our sights on the Sahara Sand colourway. Made of faux brushed suede, it can be expanded to fit your laptop during the week or folded in to make the perfect weekend shopper.

A mini insert bag keeps all your smaller items together, and it’s the perfect all-rounder, as fitting for a holiday beach bag as it is for a dinner date.

Ivette Recycled Suede Woven Shoulder Bag, €139

For something with plenty of personality, this dinky little number boasts plenty of fun. The retro lattice design is complemented by the curved shape, all finished in a recycled suede.

Available in seven different colourways, it can be held by the shoulder strap but is also neat enough to be tucked under your arm.
