The DeMellier summer sale just started - and yes, the New York tote is reduced
The A-list-approved handbag brand rarely goes on sale
Unless you've been living under a rock recently, you've probably come across one of DeMellier's hugely popular Quiet Luxury handbags.
The Princess of Wales favours the £415 Small Hudson style or the Nano Montreal, plus superstars like Reese Witherspoon, Katie Holmes, Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt all love the bestselling New York tote.
The handbags are rarely reduced, so you can imagine how excited I was when an email arrived in my inbox to say a summer sale has just started. Often with summer sale shopping, you have to be prepared to shop pieces that are a little wintry, but DeMellier have included some dreamy raffia and canvas bags that will look amazing on the beach this summer, as well as two colourways of the beloved New York tote.
We're not talking 10 or 20% off, either - I've got my eye on the leopard print Miami bag, which has a whopping 37% off! Shop now, thank me later.

I love the light sand colour of this roomy bag, which can be personalised with your initials. The 'belt' design and gold metal hardware make it look infinitely more expensive, and DeMellier offers a lifetime repairs service.
An incredibly chic alternative to an Hermes Birkin, carry this handbag and everyone will know you mean business. This one has expandable side panels for more space, and a choice of the top handle, or a long shoulder strap.
I'm a big fan of the crossbody Vancouver bag, which was the first DeMellier style I ever tried. In summer-ready canvas, this is perfect to pack for a sightseeing holiday.
This is a bestseller from the DeMellier summer sale, so don't hesitate if you're keen to get your hands on it. The gold chain detailing is a striking touch.
You're unlikely to find the New York tote bag for less than this, and I'm so surprised the suede version is in the sale. Go on... treat yourself.
Probably the most versatile option on my DeMellier summer sale shortlist, this handy little bag will work for any plans you might have, from a summer wedding to a day of shopping.
You cannot go wrong with a sleek, simple tote bag, and the mocha suede finish on this really elevates it. It will be your go-to all summer long, and throughout winter, as well.
Woven bags like this work like a neutral, so they go with everything in your wardrobe. Well worth £190, right? This one is bound to sell out soon.
An affordable alternative to the Hermes Kelly bag, this top-handle design is the epitome of elegance. Wear it with trending polka dots.
These basket bags are well worth in, particularly at this price. Pair this with jeans and linen shirts at home, before taking it to the beach on your summer holiday.
This beauty of a bag has adjustable handles, a zip closure for safety and it's big enough to fit a laptop and A4 documents. Use it to accessorise a power trouser suit for a big day in the boardroom.
With a massive 37% off, this bag has the biggest reduction of all the styles on this list. Leopard print will always be on trend, but if you're a bit of a wallflower when it comes to animal prints, a bag is a great way to introduce them into a minimalist wardrobe.
With the price of designer handbags by the likes of Chanel and Gucci running into the thousands, DeMellier offers a refreshing mid-range price point for an incredibly luxurious product.
It's easy to see why the brand has fostered such an impressive fan club in recent years, and it's clearly going from strength to strength, since DeMellier's first flagship store is due to open in London's Sloane Square this autumn.
