Erdem Unveils Its First Leather Bag Collection: The Bloom

In a world where fleeting moments of beauty often slip through our fingers, Erdem has captured eternity in a single delicate gesture. For pre-spring 2025 the brand immortalises the beauty of nature with The Bloom bag. This debut offering in leather goods marks a new chapter for the brand, where Erdem's signature blend of poetic and modern femininity takes form in a stunning accessory.

Handmade in Italy, The Bloom bag is a tribute to the enduring elegance of time-honoured techniques. The pièce de résistance of each piece is its flower-bud handle, an exquisite creation of hammered brass with a light gold finish. Drawing inspiration from the organic beauty of flowers, the handle’s sculptural form is crafted using the lost wax casting technique, a process typically reserved for fine jewellery. This intricate hardware adds an unexpected contrast to the soft, tactile silhouette of the bag, which is offered in two textures: rich calfskin leather and plush velvet, lined in suede.

Erdem Moralıoğlu reflects on the inspiration behind this creation: 'I am thrilled to introduce our first leather bag collection with The Bloom bag. I began by contemplating the character, gestures, and poise of the many women and muses who have inspired the narratives of all my collections, alongside a life-long fascination with the language of flowers.'

The collection offers two sizes to suit every occasion: The Bloom mini and The Bloom medium. The medium size is available in khaki green and black calfskin leather, with a detachable leather strap for day-to-night versatility. The mini comes in cream and black calfskin leather, as well as black velvet, each with a fine gold-finish chain strap, perfect for evening elegance.

With its delicate craftsmanship and timeless beauty, The Bloom bag is a love letter to the women who have inspired Erdem, and to the natural world itself. Available now in stores and at erdem.com, this is a collection that promises to capture hearts, one delicate bloom at a time.
