STYLE & BEAUTY A SEASONAL COMPENDIUM TO SARTORIAL FLAIR, ENCHANTING JEWELS AND HAUTE HORLOGERIE EN VOGUE Making a Statement Sumptuous, handcrafted and unmissable, elaborately designed handbags are back with a vengeance, says AVRIL GROOM T he passion for a little piece of artisan craft hanging from your wrist reaches new heights this autumn. Perhaps stung by charges of pandering to “mass luxury”, even the biggest brands are returning part of their bag production to workshops where most processes are done by hand and only a few examples are made. Craftsmen take pride in producing small miracles of embroidery, beading, studding, weaving, embossing, screen-printing, metalwork or fur – their creations seem more jewellery than bag and it is it hard to believe they’re just leather underneath.
