These days breaking into the fashion industry as an accessory brand is a tough sell. New handbag brands are a dime a dozen, which makes the storied success of Mansur Gavriel all the more inspiring. Not only has the brand expanded its handbag offerings from a few select styles, but also Mansur Gavriel has dipped its toes even further into the fashion pond by expanding into RTW and shoes.
A few seasons ago Mansur Gavriel helped pioneer the see-now, buy now approach at NYFW, which has since been adopted by other brands as well. This means that though other designers are debuting Fall 2019 bags, Mansur Gavriel is giving us the first look at its Spring 2019 bags. The best part is that they are all available to shop right now.
This collection plays on successes of the past, but most notably, Mansur Gavriel’s Spring 2019 bags showcase the brand’s relatively new service, which allows hand-painted customization. The newest bag in the Mansur Gavriel lineup is a hand pleated vegetable tanned bucket bag. The details are super-simple but the the overall look is a stunning, unique bucket bag which catches the eye. View photos from the brand’s presention below or shop the entire collection now via Mansur Gavriel.

I dont really like their newer bags. Not sure what they are aiming for…
Yes, Mansur Gavriel was known for being classic, effortless and functional. These are… not effortless nor classic…. some are functional, at least…
Slide 5 is gorgeous
Those pleated bags are stunning!
Major yawn, especially at the pleated bags. It’s been done by a million designers, and MG hasn’t even brought anything new to the table. The last person to do anything interesting with pleats was Issey Miyake like 30 years ago!
The sunflower bag is adorable for SS though!
While #5 is stunning, the only downside I see is that it is a bigger bag without a crossbody strap. I also wonder if the construction makes it easier to tighten for closure or more difficult. I had a gorgeous saffiano bucket bag in black flamma, but the saffiano made it difficult to keep the closure tied which resulted in me feeling super exposed when wearing the bag in cities.
Someone please feed the models.
I think i would so for sure buy 4 and 5 !!!!!! beyond beautiful !!!!!!
5 and 9 for my birthday please.
Is #9 out yet? I can’t find it on the website.
wowww…all the bags and styles are awesome

I am a bit disappointed. I do like the pleated bags, but don’t like the exploitation of the brand. Big embossed letters of Mansur Gavriel on the tote is so not Mansur Gavriel (not minimalist nor functional).
I’m obsessed with that Protea bag (the one that looks like an amoeba or a blooming Lilly) it’s absolutely gorgeous in the black lamb with the red interior.
How well with the black lamb resist scratching/denting? I saw their bags in a high end store and even the display ones weren’t holding up well.
No Lambskin bag is gonna hold up well. Not Chanel not Mansur not Fendi. Their vegetable tanned leather that they use on all their bags and that they originally started making their bucket bag in, hold up structurally but not in any other way. It patinas, it scratches very easily etc. I think the protea bags will look better because they’re already in a bunched up structure (or lack thereof) lamb is not the leather to use for structure unless you’re gonna use a lot of reinforcements in between the leather (like the Lady Dior) I also wouldn’t feel too bad because they’re not that expensive. If I ruined a Chanel Lambskin I’d be pissed. Also remember than people tend to be a lot tougher with the displays.
I think these are great. I was looking at the current line of MG bag’s last weekend and the leathers are so nice and soft. I am sure they are so pretty in person.
Loving the vanity looking case. Don’t care for anything else. I got my first MG bucket bag a week ago and use it everyday!
Anyone know when #9 will be available? I need it!
The structured ones look fantastic and honestly the mini bucket in Saffiano is still on my wish list. But what’s with the rest? It’s not simplicity, it’s just frumpy.
