Charles & Keith launched an accessories collection for strong women, led by Hailey Bieber and Xiao Wen Ju

Words by Fashion Journal

Mini bags and thigh-high boots.

Charles & Keith has dropped its Fall/Winter 2019 collection, accompanied by a striking, off-beat campaign starring Hailey Bieber and fellow supermodel, Xiao Wen Ju.

The new range is all about celebrating the individuality of modern women through unconventional silhouettes and bold colourways.

As the collection was inspired by strong, modern women, it is only fitting for the campaign to be fronted by two such names.

Out of all the bags, shoes and accessories on offer, Hailey shared her favourite part of the collection: The Croc-Effect Chunky Chain Handle Mini Bag.

Delightfully tiny but intricately detailed, the mini bag is made from textured faux leather and features a magnetic closure and detachable over-the-shoulder chain strap.

In a behind-the-scenes video, Hailey wields the bag imploring, “What’s not to love about something cute and mini?”

But in case you’re not minimalist enough to commit to a miniature bag à la Mrs Bieber, we’ve rounded up our own top picks from the collection.

Croc-Effect Double Top Handle Structured Bag
Price: $79

Complete with the same mock-crocodile finish and extensive colour range as Hailey’s mini bag, but capable of holding everything you’ll need throughout the day thanks to a spacious, rounded body. Pick a colour like yellow for an instant statement piece that’s still super versatile.

Houndstooth Printed Tassel Heeled Ankle Boots
Price: $109

These two-toned boots pair just as well with cuffed jeans as they do with a floaty, feminine dress. Details like a tasselled zipper, hyper-pointed toe and graphically branded sole also set them apart from anything you’re likely to have lying around in your wardrobe.

Two-Tone Leather Boxy Bucket Bag
Price: $269

Premium calf leather borrows some extra elegance from a high-gloss, two-toned finish. A relatively simple but spacious silhouette means it’s one of the most versatile and practical pieces in the collection.

Wrinkled Patent Drawstring Bucket Bag
Price: $99

Bucket bags have well and truly stood the test of time. Combining an eye-catching cinched shape with a textural patent finish, this over-the-shoulder bag manages to be equal parts edgy and classy.

Shop here.

Velcro Slip-on Sneakers
Price: $99

Bringing a touch of softness to a typical streetwear style, these sneakers feature satin and grosgrain detailing as well as faux leather. Romantic shades of pink and red are contrasted by distinctive, slightly utilitarian Velcro closures.

You can shop other styles from the collection here, including Hailey’s favourite mini bag in six different colours.
