There’s a certain kind of buzz in the air when a new DeMellier collection drops. Known for meticulously crafted styles, tested over months to ensure their real-life practicality and with an exceedingly expensive look, the brand has made its way into the wardrobes of the most elegant dressers around. Now, the Icons collection has arrived, and I predict that this capsule will sell out overnight.
Since its launch, DeMellier has created a collection of intricately made bags, many of which have become iconic styles across the globe. This collection takes a look at some of the most treasured styles, reimagined by tastemakers Taylor Hill, Lena Mahfouf, Rebecca Donaldson, Grece Ghanem and Romee Strijd to create a limited-edition collection.
From the beloved New York tote to the newly arrived Stockholm bag, these five creatives have worked alongside Mireia Llusia-Lindh and DeMellier’s design team to reimagine the brand’s signature styles through colourway, texture and material. The result is a curated edit of refined bags in smooth suede, soft khaki shades and croc-effect textures which feel modern yet timeless, whilst retaining the elevated appeal of all DeMellier’s creations. As the best pieces tend to move fast, let’s get straight into the five limited-edition styles in the new DeMellier Icons collection.

1. Romee Strijd x The Stockholm
Dutch supermodel, content creator, and mother Romee Strijd reimagines the Stockholm bag in a sleek dark brown colourway that is primed to complement any autumn and winter colour palette. The Stockholm is a spacious tote bag with elongated handles for a contemporary look and comfort when worn over the shoulder. Look out for a hidden magnetic pocket on the exterior, giving easy access to essentials on the go.
2. Grece Ghanem x The Midi Hudson
Lebanese-born, Montreal-based creator Grece Ghanem brings a luxurious midnight blue finish to the timeless Midi Hudson. The structured silhouette exudes sophistication from every angle, and the croc-effect brings even more of a luxurious edge to this style. This bag is ideal for everyday wear, carried in hand or in the crook of your arm, and is surprisingly spacious thanks to the expandable side panels. Finally, the bag is completed with DeMellier’s signature hardware in a complementary gold.
3. Rebecca Donaldson x The Stockholm Shoulder
Scottish model, entrepreneur and Who What Wear UK editor-in-residence Rebecca Donaldson brings her signature minimalist aesthetic to the reinterpretation of the Stockholm Shoulder. One of DeMellier’s more recent releases, the shoulder bag has quickly become a firm favourite amongst editors and celebrities, and now the soft sage green shade feels like the perfect update for the new season. The bag is polished and understated, with subtle design details that show the attention to detail, like the contrast stitching around the handles.
4. Lena Mahfouf x The New York
Lena Mahfouf, known as Lena Situations, brings a renewed energy to the best-selling New York Tote. As a staple style in any great wardrobe, the New York tote is primed to be a long-standing companion for years to come. Now, Mahfouf plays with shade, texture and contrast to create her style, with green suede and leather working in harmony to create this striking style.
5. Taylor Hill x The Large Siena Bucket
American supermodel and entrepreneur Taylor Hill reimagines the Large Siena Bucket bag with a croc-effect finish and deep burgundy shade. The bag feels fitting for her boho style and comfortable approach to dressing, and the Siena is a perfect fit for her own wardrobe. The rich burgundy shade looks incredibly high-end, complementing the gold hardware and blending seamlessly with any other shade. The single strap adds to the refined look of the bag, retaining clean lines and an understated appeal.
