Luar launches its first Bag at NYFW, and it’s already become the new “Must Have” Accessory

When does a new accessory officially reach cult status? Luar, the Brooklyn-based label from Dominican designer Raul Lopez, could be finding out very soon. To mark the brand’s return to the runway after a two-year hiatus, the brand has launched its first bag. Called the “Ana,” the crossbody debuted on the brand’s New York Fashion Week runway in September and has already been spotted on Dua Lipa, Kelsey Lu, and Troye Sivan.

The latter was the first to flaunt the coveted item — he paired his with a slinky Altu (by Altuzarra) dress and Rick Owens platform boots to the Met Gala, while Lipa wore a brown version with another Luar coat from the same Spring collection for a dog walk with boyfriend Anwar Hadid and his mother Yolanda in New York City.

With its sturdy round tophandles, compact frame and O’ring metal detail, the miniature style seems poised for stardom as it continues to draw more love from celebrities out and about. Luar, which was one of the most anticipated shows of NYFW following a two-year hiatus, is all about feeling hot and naughty, something Lipa and Sivan know a thing or two about. And it’s something Lopez’s community of gender-fluid creatives will no doubt clamor to be a part of when the bag becomes available next spring.
