Jennifer Lawrence’s Under-the-Radar Handbag Will Be Next to Blow Up
2 min readOne of my biggest sartorial dilemmas is finding an elevated tote bag that has no logos, costs less than $1,000, and has no hardware (because some days I’m a silver girl and others I’m a gold fiend). But I think my dizzying quest has finally come to an end. Jennifer Lawrence just quietly reminded me how chic Aesther Ekme’s minimalist handbags are during her latest paparazzi-shot outing.
With a Yeti cup in one hand, Lawrence elevated her white T-shirt and Still Here jeans with Aesther Ekme’s suede Cabas tote. The elongated handles make it easy to throw over your shoulder comfortably, but it’s the spacious interior combined with the artistic shape that turns it into the perfect carryall.
If this is your first time hearing about the brand, it’s actually been around since 2016, founded by Stephane Park. The label focuses on crafting sculptural silhouettes inspired by Brazilian Brutalist architecture and Scandinavian minimalism.
As a shopping editor, I’ve included them in several stories over the years, especially when I’m in need of a versatile accessory that feels timeless enough to pair with every outfit, yet special enough to make the investment. I first discovered the label on Ssense, and since then I’ve spotted them at Bergdorf Goodman, Mytheresa, and Farfetch—all proof that the budding brand is becoming more and more popular.
The Cabas isn’t the only noteworthy design by the brand. There’s a host of effortlessly elegant bags to shop, from the Lagune baguette to the drawstring Marin. So, if you’ve been searching for the unicorn of handbags—no logos, no fuss, just pure sophistication—consider your search officially over.
