Lindsay Nicholas New York Arlo Bag – The Statement Clutch for Women Who Mean Business
If you’re shopping for a woman who lives at the intersection of power meetings, gallery nights, and “I have five minutes to get ready,” the Arlo Bag from Lindsay Nicholas New York is that bag—the one that does all the talking the moment she walks in.
Originally a hit at NYFW and named after one of the brand’s beloved shop dogs in Melbourne, the Arlo Bag is an oversized faux-fur clutch that brings a touch of whimsy to luxury. After I opened the package, I did a double-take as I thought it was real fur, but nope! It’s bold, plush, and tactile, with a polished gold chain strap that lets her wear it on the shoulder or tuck it under her arm as a true statement clutch. Inside, there’s a striking paisley Italian acetate lining—a hidden detail that feels as considered and chic as the exterior.
Functionally, it’s as smart as it is stylish. The Arlo is generously sized to fit up to a 13" laptop, plus the usual suspects: phone, keys, makeup bag, portable charger, and whatever else she insists on carrying “just in case.” An interior zip pocket keeps smaller items from disappearing into the faux-fur abyss, making it a true statement-meets-staple piece she can actually use, not just admire.
Available in four luxe shades—Storm, Mink (this is the one I have), Burgundy, and Sable—the Arlo works as easily with tailored black trousers and a blazer as it does with denim and a cashmere sweater. It’s perfect for female founders and executives who want one hero accessory that instantly elevates their look without feeling fussy or overdone. This is the bag you reach for when you’re heading from client meetings to cocktails, or from a speaking engagement to a late dinner, and you want your accessories to say, “I know exactly who I am.”
Lindsay Nicholas New York designs for women who want their wardrobe to work as hard as they do, with pieces that feel expressive, polished, and built for real life. The Arlo Bag fits that philosophy perfectly: fun yet elevated, luxe yet practical, bold yet endlessly wearable. For the woman who has plenty of “nice” bags but deserves something unforgettable, this is the one to get her this holiday season.
