If there’s one bag I can positively bet you’ve likely seen everywhere on the streets, on your feed, or in the office (even if you didn’t quite know the name yet), it’s the DeMellier Midi New York. The trapezoidal tote with its gold-tone hardware detailing is so popular that almost every fashion editor I know has one in their wardrobe. I’ve been a fan since it first came out, but it’s also been popular among Hollywood A-listers and royals alike.

When people ask me for an everyday bag recommendation, the DeMellier Midi New York is always one of the easiest to suggest. Why, you might ask? Because it’s chic and structured, sits in a mid-price range, and offers solid quality. The Midi New York is crafted from beautiful materials and makes an excellent entry-level investment piece if you’re after a subtle yet luxurious addition to your bag collection. DeMellier designed the roomy New York silhouette with long top handles so you can swing it over your shoulders, or wear it crossbody via the enclosed leather strap on your commute. The cotton-lined interior features multiple pockets and closes with a central magnet and two snap buttons at the sides.

Classic and timeless, if you love the look of a tote but don’t want something too mini or too large, then you’ve got yourself a winner. The roomy tote is the kind of bag you’d carry from day to night and from the office to an event. Look closely at the details and you’ll realise the bag comes surprisingly close to higher-end bags, making it an iconic piece that’ll forever have a place in your collection and one you’ll naturally gravitate towards for everyday looks. Of course, if it’s a larger caryall you’re looking for, you may want to consider the larger New York style.

Given DeMellier boasts a long list of A-list fans, including Kate Middleton, Kristen Bell, Katie Holmes, and Reese Witherspoon, you’ll be in good company with your Midi New York bag this seasn, and every one to follow.
