Sonya Lee Introduces AGNES

OCTOBER 7, 2026 → WORDS ADRIÁN GOMIS EXPÓSITO

Toronto design studio Sonya Lee introduces AGNES, a tote designed for long days, late nights and everything that happens in between. Cut from soft vegetable-tanned leather, its clean rectangular silhouette is defined by sharp corners and considered proportions, offering generous space without unnecessary bulk. Adjustable straps allow the bag to shift with the wearer, while snap-open sides expand when more room is needed and close neatly when they are not. A zipped top keeps everything secure, with two interior pockets and enough space for a large laptop. Lined in sustainable Tencel cotton and handmade in Sonya Lee’s Toronto studio, AGNES is a study in functional design where nothing is added without purpose.

Designed to move seamlessly from the meeting to dinner and the afters, AGNES is made for a wardrobe that does not stop between occasions. There is no need to repack or change bags as the day evolves; its adaptable construction follows the pace of its owner without demanding attention. 

AGNES launches on October 23, bringing together Sonya Lee’s quietly precise approach to form, material and everyday utility.
