‘Fuss-free’ is how Nick Wakeman describes Studio Nicholson, the brand she founded in 2010. Known for elegant, oversized silhouettes and considered materials, Studio Nicholson has maintained a steadfast ‘fabric-first’ approach to clothing design in its 14 years. The pieces – encompassing mens- and womenswear – are contemporary-minded yet timeless, designed to live in your wardrobe for years to come.
Now, Studio Nicholson is launching its first collection of leather bags. ’For me, a bag completes an outfit,’ says Wakeman. ‘It changes the silhouette of the look entirely, adding something new in texture and shape.’ The offering features three styles, in supple black and white leathers and light and dark brown suedes. The brand currently has leather shoes, belts, and cotton totes in its roster, and venturing into handbags felt like a ‘natural step’ for Wakeman and the team. ‘That instinct was confirmed when the design and development happened really quickly,’ she explains. ‘Everything just fell into place.’
