Hands-free kit

Designers are ditching handbags and totes so free-spirited women can liberate their hands too, carrying their necessities around waist, body or even neck.

Céline by Hedi Slimane | Essential.
Might the sophisticated 2019 woman's strict minimum be nothing more than her lipstick? That's what Hedi Slimane would have us think with this elegant lipstick-case necklace.

Jacquemus | Futuristic.
For his Jacquemus label Simon Porte favours comfortable zipped pouches that structure the silhouette but also add a touch of insouciant playfulness.

Fendi | Logomania
Thanks to Karl Lagerfeld, who passed away in February, Fendi had already brought out multiple-pouched belts combining practicality with good looks. This season's sport the fashion house's logo to further up the ante.

Louis Vuitton | Trilogy.
This belt in the Louis Vuitton men's collection designed by Virgil Abloh has three pouches of varying shapes and sizes for organising your essentials. The monogram is subtle but neon adds a flashy touch.

Chanel | Soft.
For the Rue Cambon fashion house a waist-worn pouch should blend into the silhouette. A cuddly logo puts the finishing touch to a decidedly of-today look.
