Victoria Beckham paid a very stylish tribute to her baby daughter today at New York Fashion Week.
The designer, 37, who showed her latest collection at the New York Public Library this morning, debuted a new bag, named the Harper after the seven-month-old.
Announcing its launch by way of a Twitter post, she uploaded a photo along with the words: 'Meet Harper! X vb.'
It then made an appearance on the catwalk, along with a number of other new purses and totes.
Clearly intended to be a centrepiece of her accessories line, the mid-sized handbag has a short handle above a flap closure and two front pockets with gold hardware.
Fans of the new design will not be able to get their hands on the bag until August, when the fall/winter 2012 collection starts filtering into stores.
And those that do take a fancy to it will need a Beckham-sized wallet, as it is likely it will be priced in a similar range to Mrs Beckham's other accessories, which cost upwards of £1,700 ($2,700).
Already, though, the new accessory is winning high praise from the style set.
Vogue.co.uk wrote of the bags: 'The sweetest one was most certainly her latest style, a fold-over satchel with two pockets, named after her daughter.'
The Daily Telegraph noted, meanwhile, that it was 'perfect for slipping a Rolex-clad watch through and toting on one's forearm to combat the ever-stalking paparazzi.'
Mrs Beckham first launched her accessories collection in 2010, and hired top handbag designer Katie Hillier to consult on the range.
It was a decision that clearly paid off - despite the eye-watering price-tags, one style sold out in just 60 minutes at Net-a-porter.com.
