Post-pandemic fashion will largely be defined by the return of all things aughts. In modern-day fashion, nostalgia continues to reign supreme, and the handbag world in the late 2010s and early 2020s will go down in handbag history as the era of the revivals.

This week’s ceremonial clap-in goes to the Sowind Group for being one of Switzerland’s “best managed companies.” (We are just as confused as you are).
