THE VOLON

What: The four-year-old South Korean bag brand founded by former cellist/interior designer E.J. that’s been spotted on cool style stars ranging from French model Jeanne Damas to Belgian stylist Sofie Valkiers.

Why: Not only is it big on the perennially chic structured top-handle bag, it also injects a hip, youthful dose of fun into it. This E.J. aces in F/W ’17 by contrasting stark, punchy colour blocking with sleek, sculptural metal handles. If that’s not playful enough, some varieties boast double handles: one geometrically shaped and, within, another wrapped in leather.
