Aura: the new collection by Väska

If you’re a handbag fanatic, then you need to check out Väska.

Väska is a minimalist luxury leather handbag brand created in Barcelona in 2012. Influenced by the Fenno-Swedish origins of the designer, each creation follows a very Nordic and pure line combined with a Mediterranean touch. All the bags are 100% handmade with a passion for traditional craftsmanship, using only the finest leather and natural fabrics.

The latest collection from the label is called Aura. It was born out of a desire to reinvent the concept of luxury and simple design by using the best locally sourced materials with a unique folding technique. The highlight of the collection is the introduction of sumptuous nubuck with a soft velvety texture, exclusively fabricated for Väska. The refined idea of a single piece of leather without any stitching and invisible brass hardware creates an even simpler silhouette, resulting in an innovative and timelessly elegant appeal. Each design is characterised by a harmonious colour scheme and sharp geometric cuts, breathing purity and sophistication. 

You’re not going to find large, oversized handbags at Väska. They are all about cute little cross body bags. It’s very on-trend with the pastel shades as well. The Ada Nubuck bag in blue is very cute as well as the Ada Nude Veg Tan. If you love the backpacks that are everywhere at the moment, then you’ll love the Elma Nude Backpack – think Cher from Clueless. If you like your bags to be versatile, you will love the Sini Nude Nubuck where the long strap can be removed and is also adjustable.
