Schiaparelli Handbag - The Secret, A New Take On An Icon Bag

Schiaparelli Handbag – The Secret, A New Take On An Icon Bag

For Fall/Winter 2025-2026, Schiaparelli unveils a new design that shows the soft side of the Secret handbag, imagined in more supple, relaxed materials and with singular embellishments that could only come from Maison Schiaparelli.

SCHIAPARELLI INTRODUCES A NEW SECRET IN SUPPLE FABRICATIONS. Daniel Roseberry has created a sensual and sophisticated new handbag in several styles, informed by the Americana inspired Fall/Winter 2025-2026 “Lone Star” Ready-to-Wear collection and its touch of cowboy cool.

At the heart of new Schiaparelli icon bag is a brass closure handcrafted in the shape of a padlock, an iconic code of the Maison since it was designed by Elsa Schiaparelli herself as a clasp on a handbag in 1935 for her Fall/Winter Haute Couture collection. A representation of how an everyday object can lend a surreal air of mystery, intrigue and playfulness, the padlock has been a constant leitmotif at Schiaparelli, serving as the guardian of a woman’s private world, safeguarding her hidden treasures. A reinvention of the original Secret style, first introduced in 2023, the new Secret comes in softer materials that lend a more relaxed, fluid silhouette complete with a generous shoulder strap rather than a top handle. The latest addition to the Schiaparelli accessories stable, the bag’s slouched structure, which comes in full and miniature sizes, is constructed from an array of the finest quality leathers that can be worn for day, evening and anywhere in between. Demonstrating the Maison’s dedication to artisanal handicraft, the new Secret comes in a blush-hued grained leather, a shiny chocolate python skin, an elephant grey nubuck leather, a brown grain leather and black grain leather.

ONE BAG, SIX STYLES, The Secret’s gilded brass hardware a nod to the Maison’s iconic codes along with the western influences found in the Fall/Winter 2025-2026 Ready-to-Wear collection complement each style uniquely, in true Schiaparelli spirit. Black and blush grained leather and nubuck leather styles are adorned with one-of-a-kind hand-made brass hardware in traditional house codes, including an ear, nose and eye. A brown grained leather is tattooed with brass studs in surrealist anatomical designs and iterations in python skin and black grained leather are cinched with brass belt buckles also found in the Ready-to-Wear collection. Each style is decorated with the Maison’s signature padlock closure and a new eyelet brass chain and dangling gold key, which hangs from the side of each Secret style.
