Splurge on the Designer Handbag of Your Dreams This Fall
Invest now, wear (and love) forever.
Let’s face it: we all want a baby Louis Vuitton under our underarm. And with the forthcoming return to the office or on campus, the time has come to refresh, or start visualizing your designer handbag collection (unlike in TI’s “Whatever You Like”, most of us can’t just go in any store for any bag [we] want). But some designer handbags, you won’t regret investing in. Below, we rounded up the eight hottest styles of the season–classic pieces and new “hypey” styles that are actually worth pumping part of your savings into.
Neo Classic City Small Leather Top Handle Bag, Balenciaga
While Balenciaga’s Classic City bags are as iconic as ever, this Neo version is reigning supreme this fall season. Crafted from grained leather in a deep green shade, it’s perfect for everyday wear, while still being small enough to be classified as a mini bag—and boy, do we love our minis.
$2000
The Arco Medium Intrecciato-Leather Tote Bag, Bottega Veneta
Made from Italian grained leather, this work-ready tote showcases the house’s signature Intrecciato weave in a fall upgrade. With its classic forest-green shade, this tote exudes instant sophistication and is ready to accompany you on all your daily adventures.
$3130
Small Horseferry Linen Cotton Canvas Lola Bag, Burberry
Replace your classic Burberry print bag with this on-trend runway piece crafted from cotton canvas, and featuring embroidered Horseferry lettering. And while we’re loving its fern green shade for fall, it also comes in two other hues–bright orange and navy–that we love just as much.
$2350
Hera Mini Crystal Shoulder Bag, Cult Gaia
Not a big fan of jewellery? Fret not: this mini crystal shoulder bag is the only accessory you actually need. With its slouchy silhouette, crystal mesh detail and double knot handle, it’s practically begging for a night on the town.
$635
Gucci Diana Mini Tote Bag, Gucci
If reinvented classics are your thing, look no further than Gucci’s Diana Mini Tote bag. From its bamboo handles, light blue leather fabric and classic hardware, this bag is a house masterpiece that will take you from summer to fall in a heartbeat.
$3240
Le Bambino Clutch, Jacquemus
Nothing looks more effortless than pairing a colourful handbag with a casual everyday outfit. And this hot pink Jacquemus clutch is the style we’ve been eyeing. Bonus: it’s made from sustainable vegetable leather!
$720
Mini Cylinder Bag, Manu Atelier
Chunky chain bags are back and here to stay, and this candy pink cylinder bag is at the top of our shopping list this season. With its short chain handle and long leather strap, you can carry it as a shoulder bag, a crossbody, or grasp it as a handbag.
$482
Medium Roman Stud Tricot Shoulder Bag, Valentino
Adorned with the house’s signature studs, this powder blue Valentino shoulder bag will pair perfectly with anything from a neutral outfit to a colour-block ensemble Plus, its knit detailing is great for adding effortless texture to your fall fit.
