Bags by brand: fabrics, finishes and how the lines differ

Our bag lines, one by one

  • Stylish Paris Bags

What browsing bags by brand actually changes

Browsing by line rather than by shape changes the way you search. Each line keeps the same visual choices from one model to the next, whether that is a print, a fabric or a finish. Once a line appeals to you, half the decision is already made and only the silhouette is left to settle. If you already know which shape your wardrobe is missing, the selection of bags arranged by shape and material gets you there faster.

Telling the lines apart before the silhouette

The difference shows up in the fabric long before it shows up in the outline. Cork, linen, printed canvas and velvet do not sit the same way in the hand, and each belongs to a line you can name at a glance.

Fabrics and finishes that identify each bag line
Systyle ParisPlain shades closed with a gold clasp, alongside a cork range printed with geometric, floral and vintage graphics.
Sweet & CandyIllustrated canvas: tropical foliage, butterflies, dancers and drawn scenes, in strong colour contrasts.
Mélanie ParisLinen paired with lurex in gold or silver, plus chevron, tribal and woven motifs.
MandolineDeep, plain tones in velvet and suedette, with faux leather on the roomier models.

What the fabric changes once the bag is in use

Cork stays light and holds its shape. Linen has a matt grain that softens with wear. Velvet catches the light and reads better for an evening out than for a rainy commute. None of them is more practical than the others outright, so the honest question is which one suits the clothes already hanging in your wardrobe.

Choosing the shape once the line is settled

Whichever line you start from, the same shapes come back. A crossbody bag frees both hands and stays in front of you on a crowded train. A handbag, carried by the handles, reads calmer. A belt bag is what you reach for when you want to leave with very little, and a satchel opens wide enough under its flap to take documents. Both ways of carrying exist within every line, so nothing forces you to settle on one for good.

Starting from the need instead of the style

Still hesitating? Step back up to the section that gathers bags, wallets and clip-on straps in one place, and start from what you actually need rather than from a style. That is also the place to look if a wallet or coin purse to match matters more to you than the bag itself.
