Fashion has taken a quieter turn, with an increasing focus on pieces that prioritise design and subtlety over striking statements. Quiet luxury has become the choice for those who favour a restrained approach, where a piece’s appeal lies in its artistry rather than overt branding. The Nirvana bag by Aupen reflects this shift, offering a minimalist aesthetic that resonates with today’s shoppers.
