The Calla tote bag is softly structured with a geometric silhouette and magnetic buttons that allow you to collapse or widen the bag according to how much room you need. It comes in two sizes and is extremely easy to style even for different personalities. Whether your style tends towards the minimal, or to a penchant for print and colour, the Calla will effortlessly slip into your wardrobe.
THE GALLERISTA
In wineberry red, the Calla bag is ideal for someone with sophisticated taste, but a playful attitude. Lean into the artistic spirit with co-ord sets in abstract prints, statement heels and sculptural jewellery that play up the look's fluid lines and bold patterns. As a final touch, clip a few whimsical charms onto your bag and they'll work as a great conversation starter.

THE MINIMALIST
For a clean look, the espresso brown Calla bag will do just the trick. It’s simple and classy, especially when paired with sleek tailored trousers and vests. The neutral tones of chocolate, cream and navy keep things harmonious and understated, while subtle flares and sculptural accents add a dash of visual interest—echoing the similar sensibility of the Calla bag. Finish with classic mules and pared-back jewellery.

THE FREE SPIRIT
The Calla bag in brick, with its canvas texture and contrasting brown trims, naturally lends itself to a bohemian aura. If you’re the type to always be carrying a subtle vacation energy (even when you’re not going anywhere), this is the definitive bag for you. Style it with a flowing floral-printed dress and similarly relaxed accessories in beachy textures like raffia, crochet and fringe to keep the laid-back flair.
