A softly squared take on the quilted flap, 19.5cm across and 17cm tall, so it reads taller and more architectural than the usual wide mini. The diamond padding runs evenly over that upright face, catching a low sheen, and the gold-tone clasp closes with one neat, definite click.
The near-square shape is the whole appeal. It sits flat and close against the body instead of swinging, keeps its corners crisp when you set it down, and still takes a phone, cardholder, lipstick and keys with the slim 5cm depth keeping everything from rattling around. Wear the strap short on the shoulder or long across the body.
Because the silhouette is a little less expected, it does the work of a statement piece without any extra detail. Wear it with a plain shirt and wide trousers and the shape becomes the outfit; add it to a dress and heels and it looks quietly modern. For anyone who has the classic flap already, this is the one that feels new.
