1. Alaïa’s “LE TECKEL”
Made Exclusively For You (Yes, Really)
Made Exclusively For You (Yes, Really)
Since taking up the creative mantel at the French maison three years ago, Pieter Mulier has introduced a number of iconic accessories (if the fishnet flats haven’t sprung to mind…well, they have now). Chief among them is the “Le Teckel,” a handbag which has infiltrated celebrity wardrobes, starred in trend reports, and dominated editor wishlists.
The ingeniously versatile bag shares its sleek silhouette with the much-adored sausage dog (“teckel” is French for “dachshund”; Mulier reportedly has a penchant for the breed). Made exclusively for the discerningly glamorous Moda shopper, this particular version is uniquely special, embellished with compressed silver studs—imagine “pushing” one down with your index finger, just slightly—on fine black suede. Translation? It’s fancy enough for evenings out (ideally with tailored crimson silk from the newly revived Delpozo) yet still possesses that “swing over your shoulder and go” everyday appeal. Plus, as the trend pendulum swings away from quiet dressing, it’s a subtle way to inject some personality into your look. To prove it, we’ve styled out three wear-now outfits below.
