And there’s a matchy-matchy moment to be had
An exciting first for the Vogue-approved New Zealand brand that found its start in shirting and has since amassed an international following for its modern, feminine approach to tailoring, Harris Tapper’s AW23 collection comes with some extra sparkle in the form of its Beaded Satin Evening Bag.
Boasting a mix of amber and lemon yellow resin beads in various shapes, the bag features a hand twisted, raw edged strap and hidden magnet closure. Wrapped around your wrist or dangling from your arm, it’s a subtle statement piece that speaks to both imagination and sophistication. Meanwhile, its medium size – large enough to hold your phone AND a phone charger without being ludicrously capacious enough to weigh you down – make it a going out must-have and the perfect finishing touch to any ensemble.
Speaking of the perfect going out ensemble, how about a matchy-matchy moment? The Beaded Satin Evening Bag is, after all, an extension of the AW23 collection’s bonded satin story, which includes the Beaded Andree Dress and Holly Skirt. Here, tactile, hand-finished details contribute to a sensory experience that designers Sarah Harris Gould and Lauren Tapper hope will “prompt an emotive response” from the wearer.
True to the pair’s design ethos of “connecting the aspirational and the everyday”, the rest of the collection can be summed up as an exercise in elevated minimalism. Built around a wide range of versatile silhouettes and unique textiles from suede-feel cotton T-shirting to soft neoprene-backed wool herringbone, comfort and indulgence are always front of mind.
With each piece thoughtfully concepted to work seamlessly with its counterparts, take the guesswork out of looking cool and shop the complete Harris Tapper AW23 collection, available now at harristapper.com
