10 Stylish handbags We Got Our Eyes On

Does this bag fit my personal style? 2. What is this bags intended purpose (day or night, casual or dressy etc)? and 3. Will I love this bag for years to come? If you can answer these questions with honesty then congratulations, you found the right bag for you. Currently there is an influx of new bags in the market, we rounded up 10 bags that we currently have our eyes on, see below! 1. Loewe Flamenco Chain Mini leather clutch: $2,990 Yes, Loewe has other bags other than the cult classic puzzle bag. In my honest opinion, this bag (the flamenco) is extremely underrated. Crafted in the 70’s the bag was inspired by flamenco dancing, more specifically the frock on the dancer. Depending on creative direction the drawstrings have been revised throughout the years (from tassels to knots). Most importantly this bag is made with butter soft Napa leather obtaining their reputation for fine leather craftsmanship and status compared to their competitors 2. Celine Triomphe Bag $4650 Normally, cross body bags are a hard pass but this bag is the exception to the rule. Creative director Heidi Silmane has successfully reintroduced the triomphe bag to a new audience with minor upgrades such as the double c gold hardware clasp and expanding color and material selections. Although the price tag is heavy, you are guaranteed to get your cost per wear, the equestrian inspired bag made with supple leather makes it a perfect everyday bag for the capsule wardrobe girl. 3. Miu Miu Nappa leather Pocket bag: $3000 Seen all over Instagram, this trendy cargo bag is the bag of the summer. Its nostalgic shoulder function and front pocket design is cute and compact for the everyday cool girl. Made from the softest of leather (nappa) this bag ages like fine wine, this bag is for the youthful dresser that loves street style. If you like the style but hate the price tag, check out this zara option. 4. Simon Rocha Micro Star Bag $935 The original egg shaped pearl bag was the 2020 it bag of the year, fast forward 3 years later the new edition of their bag collection is the micro star bag. This bag is fun and different, similar to the original egg shaped bag the pearl strap acts as a bracelet when wrapped around the wrist, both straps are removable and can be worn as a clutch on its own. It adds flare to a mundane look and perfect for the creative dresser that values romanticism and subversive femininity. This is a guaranteed conversation starter. 5. Ferragamo ‘Wanda’ Bag: $2420 Named after longtime CEO and wife of Ferragamo, the Wanda is one of many archival pieces Davis has reimagined under his house to further brand recognition. The 80’s-esque boxy silhouette with new and improved Gancio buckles exudes contemporary chic. This bag comes in 3 sizes and in a few colors including a beautiful sunset ombre. This bag is for the fashion girl that goes into deep dives in fashion archives and loves fashion history. 6. The Row Half moon bag: $1880 Made in Italy with calf skin leather this bag is very popular among the Khaite and The Row girlies, this bag is extremely minimal, simple and most importantly- very well made. Although this bag may not turn heads in the street, it does exude an “in-the-know” energy having a cult following among “quiet” luxury fanatics. To us, the allure comes from its nostalgic appeal, looking like something straight from the 90’s, a bag the everyday metropolitan girl would wear marking it as timeless closet staple. 7. Bottega Veneta mini padded ‘Jodie’ $6,250 If you liked the coveted jodie, you will LOVE the padded jodie. This is the ultimate bag of bags, the craftsmanship and heirloom quality screams luxury. It’s perfect for day, night, formal, informal; whatever the occasion this bag just works. Its hard to ignore its GINORMOUS price tag upwards of a whopping $6250, if you love the silhouette and aren’t too fussy about colors, the kiwi lime is on sale for half the price. This bag is for the girls with good taste who don’t save outfits for a special occasion, living life is the occasion. 8. Boyy ‘bad tourist’ bag: $1290 It was hard picking one, known as the anti-it bag brand (as per BOF), Boyy bags have been spotted all over fashion week for many years. Montreal’s very own Jesse Dorsey and his wife and muse Wannasiri Kongman founded Boyy in 2006 marching to the beat of their own drum in a highly competitive market. The independent brand has experienced ample success with their signature simple yet bold buckle design making this bag easy to wear. The latest addition to the growing brand is the ‘bad tourist’, comes in 3 colors made with natural grain calfskin leather and has a vertical top handle allowing you to wear it any way you want. This bag is for the girls that live by their own rules and are a few steps ahead of the curve. 9. Bendetta Bruzziches Vitty La Mignon Bag: $1075 $860 Yes, we will be featuring this bag again and again and again. The juxtaposition between Its etherial shine and slouchy/relaxed silhouette is a dream. Without a doubt, this bag would be one Carrie Bradshaw would approve of.

This bag is for the girl who loves glitz and glamour, who isn’t afraid to make a statement and has a jovial take on fashion. 10.
