Vetements bags have always enjoyed luxurious high-quality materials and a rather unusual aesthetic. From grocery shopping-inspired cotton mesh and leather shoulder pieces to granny-referencing mini coin clutches, the latest design in the Vetements bag line-up is one that pays tribute to Russia.
The accessory is essentially a small leather cross-body purse that boasts an eye-catching red exterior. The stylish piece is made out of leather and is a part of the label's Fall/Winter 2018 collection. The most striking element in the design is, of course, the print that takes cues from the aesthetic of Russian passports. The Vetements bag is completed with a silver-toned metal chain. At $2,086 USD retail, the ultra-fashionable offering is bound to make a cultural accent to any wardrobe.
