New York Fashion Week was teeming with very strange bags

Anna Sui

The designer is known for her fun, colourful, 70s-inspired bohemian style, and this season was no different. One new addition to the runway, though, was the plush toy-like bag in the shape of a platypus. Or is it an alligator? We’re not really sure.

Dauphinette

The dreamy NY brand’s latest runway served up bakery-inspired bags. Made in collaboration with Yukiko Morita at Pampshade, they are crafted from real, surplus bread which would otherwise have been discarded. Handmade in Japan, the loaves are baked, hollowed out and coated in an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, eco-friendly resin. The brand’s Bag-uette is a fan favourite (currently sold out, sorry!) but this season it was decorated with vintage brooches, pearls and rhinestones. Another star of the catwalk was a one-of-one giant croissant bag.
