Back to Business in Style: Meet the New 13-Inch Honoré Nadine Handbag

The season of fresh starts is here. Whether you're returning to the office, starting a new semester or refreshing your routine, your work bag plays a key role. That's why Isabel Bernard introduces the new 13-inch version of the Honoré Nadine handbag: a compact and elegant business bag designed for women who value both function and style.

Why a smaller size?

The original 16-inch Honoré Nadine handbag is a favourite among professionals. But with more women using lighter laptops and carrying fewer items each day, a more compact version was needed. The 13-inch edition is ideal for commuting, hybrid working or anyone looking to travel light without compromising on quality or elegance.

What makes it practical

  • Sized for 13-inch laptops
  • Gold-tone hardware and timeless design
  • Adjustable shoulder strap and structured handles
  • Internal compartments for everyday organisation

Designed to suit both work and study, this handbag makes every day feel considered and elevated.

Laptop fit guide

Wondering if your laptop will fit? Below is a list of commonly used laptops among professional and studying women in Europe, and their compatibility with the 13-inch Honoré Nadine handbag:

  • MacBook Air (13") – fits perfectly
  • HP Spectre x360 (13.5") – fits comfortably
  • Dell XPS 13 – fits easily
  • Microsoft Surface Pro 9 (with keyboard) – fits
  • MacBook Pro (14") – fits

If your laptop is 14 inches or larger, the original 16-inch Honoré Nadine is the better choice.
