This conversation-starting handbag from Egyptian label Aliel references a vintage-inspired aesthetic to create a sculptural, contemporary style.

Crafted from synthetic leather, its ladylike mock-crocodile finish is playfully subverted by the piece's artfully asymmetric lines. It's been designed to be versatile: wear its timeless gold chain over the shoulder or use as a clutch by holding the offbeat chunky agate stone handle. A fold-over flap opens into a single compartment with an internal zipped pocket for storing city-life essentials.

This design is named the Ghalia "غالیة", which means precious in Arabic, to symbolise the bag's luxurious spirit.

Team with flared trousers and oversized sunglasses for an up-to-date ensemble that flirts with retro style.
