If these brand new bags look strangely familiar to you, it's probably because you'll at some point have seen the shoes that inspired them. They're new from Balmain, having landed at Net-a-Porter this week.
The look is instantly recognisable and despite channeling current trends, is quite unlike anything else on the designer shelves at present. The digitised, pixelated look of the crystals on the Leo Swarovski bag (right) has become a signature style for Balmain, and it looks every bit as dazzling on this easy shoulder bag as it does on the shoes. Both this bag and its cousin, the Matt quilted leather bags are typical Balmain prices - at £1,250 and £1,905 respectively. But what else would you expect from the hottest designer of the season?
