Simply dee-licious
Hong Kong label Dee is known for its cute little bags with a Chinese touch. And Ingot, its latest line in suede and leather, is no different. Available in summery tones of vibrant purple, sundown orange and lime green as well as the staple colors of brown and black, it is inspired by designer Desti Saint's love of Hong Kong and the mainland. Each handbag carries a brass ingot, an 8cm metal piece inscribed with the character for double happiness.
