“This collection is made for the women with traditional tastes in mind. The design process focused on reconsidering the finest details as to how these would be used in day to day life.”
– Catriona Forsyth, Designer
The birth of our women’s business classics over two years ago saw the emergence of a new era for the Maxwell Scott woman. The Fiorella handbag fuses that vital practicality a businesswoman needs with the elegance she desires to portray in the office. Combined with other iconic designs like the Rosa, the new Bella collection caters for the traditional lady who seeks to tap into modern day’s sleek aesthetic. Head designer, Catriona has made small design revisions to feminize these classics for a statement bag that not only holds your laptop and files comfortably but elevates your business ensembles, too. From slimming down the Fiorella’s lock to smoothing the lines on the Rosa’s handles, sometimes the smallest of tweaks can make the largest of impacts.
Available in new leather shades: Wine
“This collection was centered around creating bags and accessories that would work for the women on the go. The utility of each bag has been thoroughly considered without compromising their style.”
– Catriona Forsyth, Designer
Our bread-and-butter casual bags have undergone a slight facelift. Teamed together, they are relaunching as the Emilia collection. This family of understated everyday bags includes some of our most iconic designs – Lucca, Medolla and Palermo to name a few. With the new gold emblem stamped onto the front of these pieces, a new generation of our most-loved designs has been born. Streamlining the functionality is a major component in the revival of these prime designs. Head designer, Catriona emphasises this concept through the implementation of invisible magnetic closures on the Lucca and a sleeker shape for the Palermo. These statement pieces are ideal for a capsule wardrobe – timeless enough to wear throughout the seasons and versatile enough to wear for all life’s occasions.
“The Alessio collection is a personal favourite of mine – they are bags which are extremely versatile, handmade from leather which is as soft as butter.”
– William Forshaw, Founder
Our founder, William has always had a desire to create a collection of casual men’s satchels. Introducing the Alessio collection – our brand new range on crossbody satchels. Branching out from our signature durable Italian leather, the Alessio leather is softer, allowing the bags to mold to your body as you wear them. It’s a supple full-grain leather that truly reflects the satchels’ relaxed and laidback design. The Livorno, Ravenna and Santino M are ideal shapes for the creative professional seeking a more laissez-faire approach to business style. Equally, these crossbody satchels will slot into any gentleman’s weekend wardrobe seamlessly. Crafted with a sturdy nylon webbing strap, they’re made to sling over your shoulder and head straight out the door – no fuss, no frills, just exceptional design.
“For me the focus for this collection was three-fold: I wanted pieces which maintained their classic style and in turn felt in line with Maxwell Scott. But most importantly each bag needed to work for the modern man.”
– William Forshaw, Founder
A design that has been with the brand since the early years, the Santino bags have undergone the largest revamp of all. Initially created for the classic gentleman in mind, these shoulder bags have been entirely modernised to suit the 21st-century man. The additional rucksack function on the Santino L offers versatility for the businessman in the city. If you’re heading to a meeting, there is nothing more contemporary looking than the Santino S – revised with two gold studs for a masculine edge. Available too in this new supple aniline leather, this collection epitomizes the new era of Maxwell Scott with its modern twist on iconic classics.
