With Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year around the corner, pastels feel especially resonant right now. Soft blushes, powdery blues and creamy pistachio greens tap into the season’s collective mood—romantic, hopeful, and quietly optimistic.

Luxury houses have long returned to these gentle hues, reworking them year after year in new silhouettes, materials and finishes. This ongoing revival gives pastel bags a sense of permanence rather than novelty, positioning them not as fleeting seasonal statements but as enduring wardrobe pieces that transcend trends.
