NEO 87100 DEBUTS EXPANDED COLLECTION AT TOP DRAWER 2026

Italian luxury handbag brand showcases new designs alongside signature collections at

London's premier trade show

NEO 87100, the Italian luxury handbag brand, renowned for its meticulous craftsmanship and distinctive geometric design, announces its participation at Top Drawer, 11-1 January 2026, presenting an expanded collection featuring several exciting new additions.

NEO 87100 is the luxury women's bag brand that combines a feisty British attitude with Italy's leathercrafting expertise. Founded by Creative Director Ilaria Barca and Entrepreneur Niko Dyer, with Lady Jeanne Davies as Chair, the three dynamic creators are a diverse team united by their appreciation of traditional crafts and the desire to create enduring quality designs.

Each piece is entirely handcrafted in the brand's small, artisanal leather goods factory in Southern Italy, a factory with a history of making bags for some of the world's most highly sought-after luxury brands. Using the finest Tuscan leather and suede, each bag takes a full day to create, with artisans meticulously perfecting every detail from hand-stitching to edge-painting.

New Introductions for 2026

The brand introduces The Giulia Bucket (RRP £655), named after Ilaria's daughter and representing the realisation of a design Ilaria has envisioned for years. Spacious, classic, and evergreen, this versatile bucket bag features soft calf leather, leather drawstring closure, and both handle and strap options, making it the ultimate city bag.

The Benny Baguette (RRP £435) joins the collection as a practical yet beautiful day-to-evening piece, crafted entirely in soft calf leather inside and out. Designed for those constantly on the move who don’t compromise on style, it features both crossbody and shoulder strap options with gold-plated hardware.

The Tote (RRP £895) represents classic elegance that transcends trends. This timeless handbag includes a generous internal zipped pocket capable of holding a laptop or work essentials, perfect for long days in the city.

The Nano (RRP £295) offers the cutest addition to any outfit - a petite yet functional miniature of NEO 87100's signature Alice shape. Perfect as a standalone piece or paired with larger handbags, it serves as the ultimate lucky charm accessory.

The Weekend (RRP £925) caters to travellers who value both style and practicality, offering spacious elegance in soft calf leather with crossbody strap and leather handles.

Signature Collections Continue

The expanded range sits alongside NEO 87100's signature collections:

The Alice Collection (RRP £795) – where it all began. Named after Ilaria's first niece, this featherweight crossbody features the brand's distinctive geometric tab closure and contrasting colour combinations across nine vibrant options.

The Riviera Collection (RRP £695) and Riviera Mini (RRP £595) combine Italian lambskin with natural cotton canvas, drawing inspiration from the Cinque Terre. Available in five colourways, these summer-perfect pieces showcase the brand's signature minimalist aesthetic.

The Piccolo Collection (RRP £595) – Alice's sister, instantly recognised by its trapeze shape and geometric tab closure. This perfectly proportioned mini bag accommodates everything from super-sized iPhones to evening essentials, available in twelve sophisticated shades.

NEO 87100 is inspired by the vitality of Southern Italy: the red of the chilli, the sun-drenched colours of buildings and the vivid cerulean blue of Mediterranean skies and sea which are all reflected in the stunning colour palette.

NEO 87100 handbags are versatile, capacious and spacious without being heavy on your shoulders. They are perfect for city living as well as relaxing holidays, during the day for work or in the evening for a special event.

The brand is committed to responsible luxury. NEO 87100 uses calfskin as a by-product of meat production, ensuring no material goes to waste.
