Excuse us for a moment, but our poor brains short-circuited upon seeing the new collection of Lena Erziak bags. Holy perfection! From generously-sized totes in rich mint green crocodile skins to tiny structured box clutches that look like they came straight from the 20s, Erziak’s SS12 handbag line is clearly gorgeous, and pushed our lust button pretty hard. Though the styles are ultimately simple, it’s the texture, hardware, and structure of each bag that results in such perfect finished products. It’s everything we want in a bag, and more, and there are plenty of options that work for day as well as evening.

Lena Erziak bags, from AED 2,392, available online at Lena Erziak and Lena Erziak boutiques worldwilde.
