Fast-forward 16 years and the French fashion powerhouse has bestowed us with more It bags then we can count. There’s Tess, Drew, C, Nile, Darryl, Faye, Aby, Gladys, Daria, Betty, Edith, Sally, and Marcie, to name but a few. And now, joining their illustrious ranks is Woody, a bag tipped to take 2021 by storm.
Woody is a little different from its iconic siblings. Firstly, the bag’s not made from leather, be it real or faux. Instead, Woody’s body is constructed using a heavy-duty, durable canvas, trimmed with flashes of rust-coloured leather, which flank the logo-emblazoned cotton canvas ribbon handles. A thing of beauty, and although it’s undoubtedly made with the warmer months in mind, we’re already predicting the Woody will be a sell-out as soon as it debuts. Why? Because the shoe iteration was, and remains, a best-seller. Also affectionately named Woody, the flat rubber and cotton canvas slip-on sandal was a huge hit this past summer and has recently seen a restock at Net-A-Porter. Naturally, after its success, the designer shopping behemoth has also invested in the Woody tote in two sizes for 2021, knowing it’s going to sell like hotcakes.
