Black leather is an extremely safe bet if you want to look glam for Fashion Week; that’s why we see a notable uptick in celebs wearing black leather motorcycle jackets and carrying Givenchy bags every September. It may not be an original look, but it’s an easy, effortless, no-fuss fashion uniform that’s perfectly acceptable for celebrities attending NYFW. And even though NYFW is finally behind us, the parade of black leather bags continues through airports and restaurants all over the world.

It’s not Mansur Gavriel, and it’s not one of the new Saint Laurent bucket bags either, nor is it one of the latest bucket bag offerings from Gucci, Proenza Schouler, Alexander Wang, Stella McCartney or any other designer we checked. If you think you know who the designer is, please share in the comments below.
