London, Stockholm, Paris… the latest handbag to grab my attention has also interested fashion people in some of the most stylish cities in the world. Understated in design with an in-the-know feel and supremely elegant appearance, Manu Atelier’s Le Cambon bag was always destined to be an instant hit.
It should come as no surprise that the brand that brought us the Tote du Jour would be able to thrill even this discerning editor once again. For me, a handbag is the first item I look to in an outfit, with my obsession for the accessory starting in childhood and growing ever stronger each time a brand like Manu Atelier releases a new heirloom in the making.
For 2025, we shoppers are demanding more from our pieces, and the very best around are those with both a chic look and a practical purpose in our wardrobes. Le Cambon does this with ease.
The bag exudes minimalism, with just a subtle embossed signature and belted look the only details. Without extravagant flair, it's the fabric and silhouette that make this tote one that will be instantly recognisable by those in the know—and appreciated by all.
Bringing an everyday appeal, Le Cambon takes on a classic tote silhouette, regardless of the size you choose to go for. The folded corners keep a neat shape and structure to the bag, though they can be undone for extra room or a more relaxed shape, should you desire. It's the thoughtful details of extra space that show the considerate approach the brand takes to its bag creations.
Le Cambon comes in a range of sizes from the smallest 25 to the most capacious 40. For reference, the 25 can fit a phone, whilst the 40 can fit a 16-inch laptop. You’ll find a mix of shades and textures in each size, from classic noir to delectable deep cherry, softened suede to smooth leather compositions. Not only is this a bag with clear design prowess, but the brand has been thoughtful enough with variation in form and fabric that there’s bound to be one for plenty of style needs.
