Streetwear fashion stands out for its edge and swagger. For the local fashion brand Blanc Nué, it offers even more. With its newest collection, the brand aims to elevate streetwear by providing minimalist yet functional pieces, especially for bags and wallets.
In a conversation with Style Weekend, Blanc Nué founder Brent Lim shared that the brand was born during the pandemic, aiming to provide bags designed to fit essential items.
“My first collection was a wallet that also functions as a bag,” he recalls. “The brand’s DNA is modular. Now, the collection features improved materials and mix-and-match options, allowing you to adjust pieces based on your lifestyle and personality.”
The new collection uses high-quality nylon in various timeless colors, including black, white, beige, royal blue, pink, and green. Thanks to its modular design, all bags and wallets have interchangeable straps, ranging from adjustable cords to thick straps.
“Nylon is waterproof and water-resistant. It’s perfect for travel because it’s lightweight, and you can easily add or adjust features based on what you need,” Brent says. “It’s fashion with a purpose—where style meets versatility.”
Here are our top picks from the newest collection:
The Pillow Clutch
With its roomy design, this modular puffed flap bag could be your next travel essential. It fits everything from your passport and wallet to hand sanitizer. The main compartment includes pockets for organizing your items, with additional front and back zipper pockets for extra space. The best part? It’s so soft and fluffy it can double as a travel pillow. We love pairing it with The Hardworker Strap or The Adjustable Knot Cord.
The Bucket Drawstring Bag
This multifunctional bag can carry a variety of items, and if you’re on a trip, it makes an ideal makeup bag. You can pack your makeup and skincare essentials in one compact space. Once you arrive at your destination, arrange your items in the hotel room and convert the bag for travel use. Simply attach The Basig Long Rope for a body bag function or The Pillow Strap to use it as a handbag.
The Contrast Stitch Tee
Beyond bags and wallets, the collection also includes wearable pieces like tees and caps. Our favorite is The Contrast Stitch Tee, a modern twist on the classic T-shirt with bold stitching details that add visual interest. Made from soft cotton, this oversized tee is available in six colors to complement your closet staples. For added weather protection, pair it with The Water-Resistant Cap. Crafted from polyester, it keeps you cool and comfortable no matter the weather.
