DeMellier's new handbag collection has autumn styling sorted, with mocha, hazel and burgundy colours that work perfectly for the new seasons
Luxurious textures, timeless silhouettes and beautiful shades make these DeMellier bags worth investing in
At woman&home we are huge fans of DeMellier, and we're in good company. From Anne Hathaway and Katie Holmes to royalty, including Kate Middleton, the luxurious handbag brand has a huge following. So when it drops a new collection, it's little wonder that it causes a stir.
DeMellier's new autumn/winter 2026 collection features elegant, fresh designs, as well as updated versions of its most iconic silhouettes such as the New York, the Hudson and the Stockholm. Most notably, the brand has infused its sculptural silhouettes with luxurious textures. The most striking has to be the Stockholm shoulder bag, which is now available in a Zebra-effect calf hair finish - my personal favourite.
Home to some of the best designer handbags, this collection is well worth a browse as we enter a new season, especially if you want to refresh your current bag rotation with a seasonal nod. Affordable luxury, not only are the zebra-printed styles noteworthy, but the rich earthy tones that run throughout the collection feel perfectly suited to the season ahead. Mocha, hazel and rich bordeaux are key shades that will elevate your autumn outfit ideas to perfection.
This Stockholm shoulder bag is covered in zebra-effect calf hair for a bold and elegant finish. It's handmade from premium leather and has a spacious silhouette that makes it perfect for everyday use. Gold-plated hardware, including a discreet zip finish, completes the design. This is an eye-catching addition to your smart-casual outfits.
Mocha is expected to be a key colour for the season ahead. Building on the existing trend, this textured suede bag offers the chicest way to embrace it. Handmade from Italian suede, this bag is soft to the touch. The Brooklyn silhouette is defined by its sculptural design and fold-over flap; it also features practical shoulder straps for easy wear. This midi size offers just enough room for everyday.
Made from smooth, grainy leather, the small Hudson bag is a sophisticated choice. Coming in a trending mocha shade, it will pair with just about any of your autumn outfits. It has a small architectural design, featuring a magnetic flap-over closure and expandable side panels which can be used to make more space.
With enough room for a laptop or A4 documents, this luxurious design is also a practical choice that will take you from office days to evenings out effortlessly. The rich burgundy shade is warm and inherently elegant. Style with everything from sharp trouser suits to laid-back denim.
Add texture to your attire with this sophisticated design. In a croc-effect leather and dark chocolate shade, it's striking yet classic. Handmade from premium leather, it features a softly structured shape and the signature Hudson belt detailing. The detachable straps mean that you can wear it two ways, on the shoulder or crossbody.
The New York tote bag is a firm favourite amongst celebrities, including Katie Holmes and Reese Witherspoon. This updated version is worth adding to your arsenal. Its sculptural, softly structured silhouette gives the bold print a sophisticated feel, while the tactile zebra-effect finish adds interest to even the simplest outfits.
The small Stockholm has been given an autumnal update with a luxurious hazel suede finish. Bringing a soft, more tactile feel to one of the brand's signature silhouettes, this earthy shade will make a versatile addition to your handbag rotation. The compact shape is perfectly sized for carrying your everyday essentials.
This bag features a handwoven construction and a rich wine-inspired shade. The roomy silhouette will fit your everyday essentials and much more, making it the kind of bag you will reach for on repeat. It has adjustable leather handles, which make carrying this design effortless.
This saddle bag features a spacious main compartment, a practical front pocket and a detachable top handle, meaning you can style it in multiple ways. The gold-tone padlock offers an eye-catching finish and a vintage-inspired look, nodding to iconic designs including the cult-favourite Chloe Paddington.
DeMellier is a particularly smart choice if you're looking to invest in an autumn handbag that will work beyond one season. The British brand has an excellent reputation, celebrated for its exceptional craftsmanship and more accessible price points.
Its designs are made from high-quality Italian leather and finished with considered, refined details, leaning into a quiet luxury aesthetic- another reason why a DeMellier bag is a worthwhile addition to your wardrobe.
