Bracher Emden ‘Classic’ Structured Tote
It’s been a while since I last did a ‘new in’ post, but I am so smitten with this bag I just had to give it a feature on it’s own, before you see it appearing in many, many outfit posts! Since it arrived it has had pride of place in my wardrobe, I’ve stroked it more times than I care to admit, pranced around with it in front of my mirror, showed it off to anyone who would listen and I’ve pretty much abandoned my poor, loyal Balenciaga for it too. Usually this level of excitement is reserved solely for new shoes!
You all know of my love for Bracher Emden, they are the brand that turned me from a one bag kinda girl into one that would gladly splurge her savings to add another of their incredible bags to my (growing) collection. It’s rare that you come across a brand that feels as though it was designed specifically for you, where every piece induces such lust & desire to own it, even the ones you wouldn’t usually consider – Yes, I now crave a lime green bag! Their unique, structural designs, distinctive brand signatures and that subtle sci-fi edge that makes my inner nerd squeal are just a few of the reasons I love them.
The classic collection is the perfect baby sister to the mainline, retaining the same impeccable quality, craftsmanship & beautiful, unique designs, but at a lower price point & with a cleaner, more pared back look. Made from a mixture of textured Italian lamb leather & smooth cowhide, it’s no surprise I’ve fallen so hard in love – black on black texture mixing with simple, geometric lines, the whole 7 piece collection is total perfection. The prices are ridiculously reasonable for this kind of quality too, starting at £70 & going upto £250 for this structured tote.
Shop the classic collection – here! Oh, and you may spot a familiar face on the product pages!

So glad you gave this bag a post of its own, it is a stunner for sure! I love the different textures and that beautiful structure. Ah great purchase x
Josie says
This is so beautiful and so you! It looks like cost 10x the price. Looking fab on the site too! xxx
FAIIINT says
I agree Josie! I’ve spent a similar amount on a bag from the highstreet before, so I think it’s kinda a steal for the quality & the fact it’s more unique.
Hannah says
You are the perfect model for this brand, Steph! It really is as though that bag was made for you, the perfect combination of black, textures and leather. I adore it – and it’s not a shape I’d usually be drawn to, but the textures and luxurious velvet lining have got me! xx
FAIIINT says
Aw, thankyou Hannah! :) I think the structure & shape are a nice contrast to my slouchy Balenciaga, it’s nice to have a day bag that’s a little smarter & doesn’t look quite so battered!
Grace says
Nice! I’ve been searching for the perfect bag for my new laptop and the satchel might just be the one!
FAIIINT says
The satchel in person is beautiful! Really good size too, it would have been my 2nd choice! ;)
Izzy says
well I can see how you’re smitten with it :) it really does have a sci-fi edge to it, which gives it that futuristic touch so rarely seen on bags! gorgeous model on the site too ;)

Steph says
can’t wait to see you with it steph. it’s such a stunner and i have to admit i am very tempted to get one for myself!
FAIIINT says
I’m hoping this rain stops soon so I can actually photograph it! Typical! Hah!
I think it’s even more stunning in person, it’s hard to capture the way the light hits the crackled leather in photos, but lots of people have stopped me to ask where it was from already. I would totally recommend getting one if you’re looking for a new bag, I can’t sing its praises enough! :)
Sonia says
All hail Bracher Emden for doing the impossible! Converting you to colorful hues hehehe! But seriously that is a gorgeous bag, I’m surprised you haven’t set up a stand in the local high street strip trying to stop passers by for a quick minute praise on the bag’s sheer beauty! ;o)

Oh no, I’m in love with this bag now! I’m definitely all over anything structured at the moment – had my bank card at the ready for the Michael Kors Selma in white but then my MOT came to 700 smackeroonies and I realised I couldn’t drive a Michael Kors to work so opted for the car bill instead…… :-/

Waahh! That sucks Mags! :( Sometimes I am really glad I’m not allowed to drive & don’t have to worry about car things! And I agree, I’m loving structured things at the moment too!
