The chances are you've heard whispers of Liffner. Over the last few years, emerging handbag brands have become highly sought after in the fashion space—many of them are contemporary, classic and a more attainable level of luxury than big names like The Row or Bottega Veneta. Unlike years prior, there is now a space for mid-priced accessories to rival the major fashion houses and Liffner is one of the most impressive.
Ebony wears the Pillow Pouch
Paulina Liffner von Sydow conceived the minimalist accessory brand Little Liffner in 2012, honing in on the refined Scandi aesthetic, with classic silhouettes made from exceptional materials at a reasonable price point. She was intent on filling a gap in the market with expensive-looking handbags at attainable price points and has succeeded in her mission to create luxurious handbags under the £1000 mark.
Now known just by its moniker Liffner, the brand has gradually climbed up the social ranks and graced the arms of many of our favourite tastemakers across the globe.
Anouk wears the Bucket Bag
As you'd expect from Scandinavian designers, the concept is clean, minimal and very much in keeping with the anti-trend bag movement, where less is most definitely more. Key styles for Liffner include the Sprout Tote (a relaxed functional oversized tote bag) and the Belted Bag, which is one of its newest offerings. The colour options are aplenty, too. Find rich ochre, mustard, and zesty limes among the classic brown and black in textured and woven leather, suede and even satin. I for one am well and truly enamoured, so continue reading to discover my edit of the chicest Liffner handbag offerings.

Shop My Favourite Liffner Handbags:
1. Belted Bucket Bag
Liffner's bucket bag is available in two sizes—the original, and newly launched large iteration. The design alludes to the vintage-style bucket handbag with a contemporary lilt. Featuring a slender cinched-in buckle, hardware and dipped silhouette, it's perfectly relaxed and nonchalant.

The most directional colourway on site, rust is a disruptive yet wearable hue.

2. Maccheroni Saddle Bag:
The typical saddle bag feels inherently noughties and Liffner has cleverly introduced a sleek silhouette which feels unique to the brand. The mini style is available in four colourways (including a snake print pattern and rattan), each featuring hardware with a pop (courtesy of the gold finish), adjustable strap and rounded edges. It's great for everyday wear.

5. The Pillow Pouch
The Pillow pouch is as plush as the name would suggest. The mini style is heavily inspired by evening wear and intended to elevate minimalist ensembles. This style is best worn on the crock of the arm, in a clutch fashion. The four styles offered included three in treated suede (so as to not transfer) and one in a silken fabrication.

Oversized, slouched and perfectly soft, the Pillow Hobo Bag is ideal for those who like to pack for every eventuality and adhere to the ease of carefree dressing. It's versatile and spacious enough for a 13-inch laptop, so it could also be a work bag option. Although short, the handle is adjustable and it features a zip closure and a gold or silver zip adornment depending on the colour.
