Mansur Gavriel fans, you’re in luck. Not only did the brand release two new bag shapes, five new shoe designs and Bucket and Lady Bags in suede and patent at its Fall 2016 presentation on Monday, but a huge proportion of the new line is available for pre-order via Moda Operandi starting today. If you’ve ever tried to snag one of the brand’s sought-after bags before, you know how good of an opportunity this is.
The two big bag debuts are the Sun Bag, which is an everyday, arm-carried tote that sports the brand’s signature tie closure, as well as the Elegant Bag, which is a frame-top day bag that harkens back to midcentury accessory design. The Sun Bag will come in three different sizes right off the bat, while the Elegant Bag will have just one.
Potentially even more exciting is the introduction of both suede and patent leather as options for the brand’s existing bags, including the Bucket and Lady lines. Both materials will be available in the brand’s limited palette, and both complement the designs’ simple structures quite well.
There are also nearly half a dozen new shoe designs available, including boots, ballet flats and two kinds of loafers. Not only do we have photos from the presentation and 15 product images to check out below, but a huge proportion of the collection is available for your pre-shopping pleasure right now through Moda Operandi, but we suggest you shop quickly. Not only does the pre-sale only run through February 19, but Mansur Gavriel’s bags tend to disappear from online retailers very quickly.
Slide 3 reminds me of a SDJ.
These are gorgeous.. I love the way they set up the bags and shoes.. Everything looks wonderfully together.. Its beautiful
I am LOVING the suede versions! These bags are very ladylike
Am I the only one not impressed? Yet another Birkin wanna be. Looks like a Sac du Jour (itself a Birkin wannabe) and the other design is like LV or Fendi. Yawn!
I just perused the site. I do like the new designs Sun and Lady because I was never wowed by the bucket bag or the tote. (I jumped on the early bandwagon and immediately put the bags on eBay upon receipt. I hated the leather). However, their pricing is slowly inching towards the upper end and to me that was the allure of the brand in the first place. Plus, I’m going to put down a 50% deposit for something that won’t arrive until July or August? Do I earn interest on my deposit? No thanks.
I really love the bright blue bag and the yellow one. Sooo pretty!
Does anyone remember the Bamford bag that was sold at Neiman Marcus in 2007? (http://www.purseblog.com/totes/bamford-ombre-crocodile-tote/)
Literally a carbon copy….. Not that original if you ask me.
I love the Elegant bag! It’s so chic.
I love the suede lady bag. It softens the silhouette of the bag and makes it appear more slouchy. I want the red! So pretty.
I’ve been obsessed with the Lady Bag all year. I just ordered a mini black one and one of the aptly named Elegant Bags in black. I know I need to get a little color, especially for Spring, but I’ve never been disappointed in black. Black and I go way back.
I was baaaad and snagged 3 bags during the trunk show: mini bucket in light pink patent, Elegant Bag in navy suede and Sun bag in burgundy suede. It was soooo hard to decide. I already have large buckets in cammelo and black and a lady bag in black, so I knew I wanted different sizes, styles and/or colors. So excited!
OMG, you are so lucky!! I will probably have to wait another year stalking them to get one that I want, LOL.
That pebbly leather on the red Sun bag is gorgeous! Not particularly a fan of the red, but the leather itself looks lovely and sturdy.
The penny loafer has a lovely classic look as well.
The new satchel in the patent leather looks incredibly cheap. Patent is hard to pull off. It looks like a bag for sale at Family Dollar store.
I have several of the “Elegant” bag they are were my mother’s bags from the late 60s nothing new about them at all
Love, love photo #2 so Grace Kelly looking. Always loved bags made on a frame!
Sorry but I’m not a fan. MG are just beyond impractical. That large bag that I can’t even put on my shoulder, no zipper either? SUEDE on a handbag? and the cheap looking gloss?? NOPE. Yea! saving my $
Same for me. I bought a lady bag and I don’t love it. It is so impractical. It’s hard to get in and out of the bag. MG bags look nice, but the bags are always gaping open like the bucket or are hard to close. wish I hadn’t bought in the hype.
so Birkin-esque.
True. I’ll take it a step further. Birkin-esque with a quick stop at Kate Spade while en route.
Omg I want it all!
