WOMEN'S WINTER DESIGNER CLOTHING & BAGS

This blog is not intended as a catalogue of garments, but as a window into the visions crafted by the great fashion houses for the season ahead. A reflection on how we dress when the cold arrives, and what those choices reveal about the way we move through the world. Winter demands that we think in terms of layers, proportions, and materials, releasing a way of inhabiting clothing that summer does not allow: the play of texture, weight, and volume. Dressing in winter becomes, in many ways, a quiet daily ritual of protection, pleasure, and aesthetic intimacy.

Each house offers its own interpretation, yet the central question remains: what does it mean to dress well when the outside world becomes climatically more demanding?
In this blog, we explore a familiar but rarely articulated territory — where garments warm the body, handbags set the tone, and getting dressed becomes an experience in itself.

This time of year in A Coruña marks the shift from stepping out of the house at 18ºC and returning at 9ºC. Our weather apps already show the steady drop in temperatures, hinting at the holidays and the first snowfalls of the season. With the arrival of the cold comes the most satisfying part of winter: women's designer winterwear. Here we enter the delicious world of seasonal pieces, soft, warm, cozy, and even emotional.

There is a recurring idea among fashion lovers that dressing well in summer is more difficult. Yet winter clothing carries a special kind of magic. While polar cold may restrict the wardrobe, in milder climates we enjoy a wide spectrum of possibilities to express our winter personal style and shape our winter outfit ideas.

Three key trends define Winter 2026: shearling, brown, and suede. Through these elements, major houses present their seasonal proposals with particular focus on texture and cohesive colour palettes. Notable names like Miu Miu, The Row, and Loewe arrive with outstanding collections that highlight the full breadth of their savoir-faire. Loewe, for its part, unveils its latest artistic collaboration, and possibly the last coordinated by Jonathan Anderson, in the form of the Loewe Pre-Collection 2026. This collection, available for both men and women, presents the vision of Louis Wain x Loewe.

Associated with Art Nouveau in his early work and Art Brut in his later years, Louis Wain was a precursor of psychedelic art. In the words of novelist H. G. Wells, “[Wain] invented a cat style, a cat society, a whole cat world.” It is said that his works were created to lift the spirits of his wife, who suffered from illness. His tender cat universe is reflected here in pieces such as cardholders, small leather goods, handbags, scarves, and more, designs that explore the diverse world of an artist who shaped his time through his imagination.

As another exclusive highlight, we welcome the Moncler Genius x Jil Sander collaboration, a partnership that intertwines the refined, conceptual sensibility of Jil Sander with Moncler’s advanced textile technology. The iconic winter-sports house delivers yet another masterful collaboration with high fashion at its peak.

The Winter 2026 handbag trends arrive with a strong emphasis on suede and brown tones. Among the season’s signature pieces, we welcome the Alaïa handbag selection, with a focus on bucket silhouettes and a familiar icon: the Alaïa Mina 20. The Alaïa Mina reflects the house’s history. Founded in 1964 by Tunisian designer Azzedine Alaïa, the brand’s famous Vienne perforated motif is inspired by the traditional mashrabiya architecture of the Arab world. This intricate pattern, laser-cut and also linked to Western lace traditions, echoes the architectural lattices designed to let filtered light in while allowing a controlled circulation of air. A complex craft born to ventilate enclosed spaces, translated now into a precise and architectural leather technique.

Gucci’s women’s handbags arrive from its transitional collection, signed by the in-house design team, the last one before the arrival of Demna Gvasalia. Shown on a runway shaped like the iconic double-G logo, the house revisited its archive, bringing back silhouettes from the Tom Ford era. A return to its most experimental maximalism, revisiting the Horsebit through a renewed interpretation. The Gucci Half Horsebit appears across bags, ready-to-wear and accessories as a single end of the original Horsebit hardware.

The Row handbags return with a practical and contemporary spirit. New silhouettes such as the elegant The Row Marcel bag showcase the house’s proposal for workwear: a refined doctor-bag shape crafted in beautifully textured grained leather. More compact designs, like The Row Bindle and The Row Isa, serve as essential carriers and stand as central pieces of the house’s new season.

Finally, the Loewe x Albers collaboration stands out with its tribute to the square, inspired by the German impressionist Josef Albers, reimagined through the Flamenco and Puzzle bags. Other pieces highlight the textile work of his wife, Anni Albers, celebrating a dialogue between geometry, craft and modernity.
