Braun-Buffel_fd_12Nov15_theedgemarketsTHE French are known for their chic sartorial choices and it is no surprise that Braun Buffel’s autumn/winter collection takes inspiration from the much-loved French capital. Each bag range from the new collection is named after famous landmarks in Paris, and finely crafted with Parisian elegance and styling in mind. This new collection combines the city’s rich history of tradition and modernity with the practicality of Braun Buffel designs.

The collection celebrates the house’s trademark quality and elegance in the art of leather. For the men’s range, the designs have bold silhouettes that exude confidence and perfectly complement the women’s range. Homme is perfect for the man who appreciates subtlety, comprising a clean-lined briefcase and clutch made from fine grain printed leather, which are both practical and stylish. The Kaiser range is an update of the brand’s iconic monogram series featuring its signature pattern. The collection consists of a briefcase, messenger bag, clutch, document folder and cross-shoulder bag, all in noir patterns. The noir pattern is suitable for men who like patterns on their accessories without being too loud.

Urban travellers should definitely have the Palais range in mind. Anchored by a sleek, sartorial element, it is crafted from large buffalo grain printed calf leather and includes an overnight bag, briefcase, document holder and backpack, available in both cognac and noir colours. For the fuss-free guy, there is the Poche range which includes a duffle bag, backpack and messenger bag. The range is characterised by roomy interiors and compartments that allow you to store your essentials neatly. The overall look is cool and effortless.  

The women’s collection inspires the desire to take a stroll down the magnificent lawns of Jardin du Palais Royal or visit Musée d’Orsay while gracefully carrying a Braun Buffel bag. Patent leather makes an appearance here giving fashion lovers a plethora of styles to pick from. The bright and distinct colours of the season take inspiration from the opulent gems from Paris’ famous jeweller square, Place Vendome.

For the girl about town, the Avenue range features a bucket bag and chic clutch in nappa leather. The bucket bag is available in noir, powder blue and ruby shades. The fashionable jet-setter will love the Marais, which comes with a lock and key for your valuables. Distinctive colours such as mustard, ruby, noir and sapphire are complemented with the classic shape of the bag that will never go out of style. Another standout from the collection is the Paris bag, another classic addition to any women’s closet. Its boxy shape gives it an understated elegance and easily takes you from your day at work to a cocktail party with friends. The bag is available in sapphire, emerald, brick and plum shades.

Function and fashion collide with the Concorde range. The range uses signature monogram vinyl with horsehair printed calf leather, and is available in three signature shapes consisting of a large tote, small tote and small handle bag. The big tote is a spacious bag that allows you to keep your travel essentials safely with its bag hook closure. For the lady who appreciates simplicity when it comes to style, look no further than the La Rue range. The range includes a hobo and drawstring, both of which are roomy and versatile, making it suitable for work.

Whether for business or leisure, one thing for certain is that Braun Buffel’s new bags will ensure you’re always in style.
