Go Big or Go Home, Rosalía Spotted in NYC With a Gigantic Bag

Rosalía was spotted in New York City carrying an oversized leather bag designed by Dana Toder. Measuring approximately one metre long, the custom-made accessory stood out against the singer’s otherwise simple black outfit.

She paired the bag with a black tank minidress, oversized black sunglasses and her dark curls. The look also included pale pink satin ballet platforms from Junko Shimada’s Spring 2009 collection. The shoes featured ribbons around the ankles, oversized black platforms and transparent heels.

The bag was created for Krähe, a forthcoming short film by Lili Conzen. Made in collaboration with Shmulik, Toder’s 80-year-old leatherworking mentor, the design incorporates archival images of women from different decades. The photographs are printed across the leather, giving the oversized accessory a design rooted in imagery and memory.

Toder’s bag is not currently a conventional everyday accessory, although the designer plans to release a smaller ready-to-wear version in 2027. Its scale and printed surface distinguish it from the more familiar leather totes and shoulder bags seen on the streets of New York.

Rosalía’s footwear also draws on ballet. The Junko Shimada platforms combine the look of satin dance shoes with exaggerated black soles and transparent heels. The singer has explored ballet references in her stage wardrobe, including a custom Dior tutu by Jonathan Anderson worn during her Lux tour.

For her New York outing, Rosalía paired those theatrical footwear details with a straightforward black dress. The oversized bag supplied the most unusual element of the look, while the pink satin shoes added another reference to ballet-inspired fashion.
