This is the category Truxes built the whole label around: rounded, woven silhouettes that read handmade because they are, each one shaped by a weaver in Bali rather than stamped out in a factory. The shapes have barely needed to change since 2017, which says something about how right she got it the first time. Look closely and you can see the individual hand in the weave, not a repeated machine pattern.

A second wall of bags because one wasn't going to cover it: totes, top handles and slouchier shapes that keep the same coastal, undone attitude Truxes chased after spotting that stranger's straw bag near her old Vogue office. The variety here shows a brand that has widened its bag offering without losing the raw, textural feel that made the first ones stand out. Weight, texture and imperfection are the point, not the flaw.

Bembien's move into footwear follows the same logic as its bags: natural materials, visible craft, a French-coastal ease rather than anything polished or corporate. It is a newer category for a label that made its name in accessories, and it reads as an extension of the same weaving and shaping techniques rather than a bolt-on. Expect the same handmade unevenness that makes the bags feel personal.

Beyond bags and shoes, Bembien has added rosewood pieces and other small accessories that keep the label's original references, 1970s coastal France by way of Balinese artisans, intact. These are the kind of pieces a brand adds once it trusts its own point of view, filling out a wardrobe rather than chasing a trend. They sit easily alongside the bags without competing with them.

Bembien's whole appeal rests on the idea that a straw bag can be a serious object if the right hands make it, and mostly the assortment backs that up. The label is still, at heart, a bag company that has grown sideways into shoes and accessories, so those categories work best as companions to the bags rather than reasons on their own. It remains one of the more honest artisan-facing labels in this space, precisely because the founder's own origin story is so specific and so checkable.
