Brazil's fashion scene spotlights statement bags and high‑price Hermès Mini Kelly

Luiza Mallmann, founder and creative director of the Brazilian accessories brand Ryzí, outlined the 2024 statement‑bag trends. She said designers are emphasizing applications, unconventional materials and elaborate finishes, with beading, embroidery, animal‑print motifs, textured surfaces such as croc‑inspired finishes, and vibrant colours that make the bag the focal point of an outfit.

Influencer Gabriely Miranda posted on Instagram that she acquired a Hermès Mini Kelly II 20 bag made of crocodile leather, valued at more than R$400,000. The exclusive piece, in the "gris cement" colour, is highlighted for its rarity and high price, underscoring the demand for ultra‑luxury accessories among Brazil's celebrity circles.
