Ferragamo's Maxi-Chained Aura Bag Is A Soon-To-Be Signature

The Aura is a crescent-shaped crossbody-cum-clutch handbag that is at once practical and versatile. With its combination of contemporary design, playful structural proportions, and fine saddlery workmanship, it’s a bag that ticks all the boxes—not least for its sporty yet classic vibes. Let’s consider all its details: It offers tone-on-tone and contrast stitching; black, contrasted hand-painted edges; luscious leather that covers all of its prominent metal features; a slim, removable shoulder strap that makes carrying it that much easier; and most importantly, it bears a maxi leather-wrapped metal chain handle that stands out for all the right reasons. It is unmistakably the bag’s key detail.

The bag comes in five colours that reflect the palette of the brand’s repertoire for the season. The tan Sella, Sequoia Red and Black come in full calf leather and work perfectly for more classical approaches such as a jeans-and-tee combo or a summer dress. The Amaretti, a beige with pinkish undertones, comes in full crocodile-printed calf leather that allows for some subtle print-clashing should you choose. Lastly, the Glacier Blue presents a striking hybrid of sorts with its calf-leather body and macro chain lined with elaphe snakeskin for casual-chic jaunts uptown.

The Aura’s distinctive yet versatile looks were clearly designed to see you through every style mood you might have for the day. While Ferragamo paired it with oversize, masculine, workwear looks on the runway, it goes as well with feminine, bodycon getups or high-sheen materials like satin for a glamazon touch. Dressed up or down or however you want, this has all the makings of a bag that you can wear years down the road.
