Acne Studios, the Stockholm-based luxury fashion house, has been around since the mid-1990s and is widely known amongst the fashion crowd, but its bags still fall mainly under the radar. In the modern digital age, it’s hard to find a brand that is still if you know, you know, but Acne Studios, at least its bags, still feel like fashion’s little secret.
Acne Studio’s first foray into bags was in 2015 with the debut of a small collection featuring a few color styles that felt very mid-2010s. As expected, it takes some time for a brand to find its footing when expanding into a new category, but it wasn’t long before the brand made its mark with the introduction of the Musubi collection in late 2016.
The Rise of the Musubi
Featuring a unique, eye-catching twisted knot motif inspired by the obi sash of a traditional Japanese dress, the Musubi bag family felt like an immediate hit. It was modern, cool, and genuinely felt like a natural extension of the Acne Studios aesthetic and brand. Nine years later, it’s proven to be just that, standing the test of time—it’s the under-the-radar, cool-girl carry I still return to.
So when I noticed that the latest addition to Acne’s family of bags kept popping up during fashion month time and time again, I knew it was time we took a proper look at the brand’s latest cool-girl carry.
Introducing the Acne Studios Camero Bag
First introduced for Spring/Summer 2025, the Camero Bag takes inspiration from a vintage utilitarian bag that Jonny Johansson, co-founder of Acne Studios, carried during his early days at the brand. It is the perfect combination of structured and soft, offering the relaxed ease we associate with the brand.
The Camero bag is defined by its outer pocket and exaggerated zippers, which act as both design and functional details. One of the zipper pulls is also a key, inscribed with “Acne Studios Stockholm 1996.”
Refreshed and revived for Fall 2025, the Camero arrives in new novelty materials and refreshed versions of buttery soft leathers and suedes. Two new styles are also introduced—a roomy weekender and a backpack.
Of course, my favorite version is the sleek silver Camero Party Shoulder Bag, which is the line’s smallest iteration. Discover more via Acne Studios.

The Musubi is a work of art in all its sizes, I adore it. This bag however, this bag, is just not it, imo.
It looks like an old fashioned airport bag. The kind my father carried in his briefcase when traveling, with all our passports, tickets and travelers checks stuffed in it. That bag went from airport to hotel safe to airport and back to homebase. It never saw the light of day any other time.
It’s high on nostalgia but low on aesthetics, imo.
Love the look, but the lining is 50% polyester, 50% polyurethane, and I worry this is one of those bags where the inside will break down over time and peel/ flake off. Perhaps that is why keys are meant to hang on the outside 🤣
That price for that bag? You can find it for as low as 50 dollars in any shop.
