Timeless sophistication is infused with a charmingly offbeat spirit in this striking faux-leather handbag from Egyptian label Aliel.

Its asymmetrical shape and top handle provide an eye-catchingly quirky counterpoint to the otherwise pared-down sophistication of its angular silhouette. Rounded studs in a matching hue lend the piece a vibrant finish. Its detachable silver strap gives the option of carrying it over the shoulder or by hand.

The piece is named Jalila, which means dignified in Arabic, to emphasise the importance of staying true to your unique self.

Wear with an all-black outfit of high-waisted trousers and mock-neck top to add a playful touch to an effortlessly urban ensemble.
