As we roll through this season, a few stellar styles have caught my eye, and I'm excited to share these must-haves handbags that are shaping the very definition of chic this year.
First up, we’ve got Balenciaga Hourglass Hinge Medium Handbag in Crocodile Embossed Black. This handbag is a real showstopper. It’s a masterpiece in its own right. The Hourglass bag is made of patent crocodile embroidered calfskin. The strap is curvilinear and has an adjustable crossbody. You’ll love the attention to detail. There’s an aged silver B logo hardware on the strap. And then there’s the Nappa Lambskin lining. At £2,300 it’s an investment, but believe us, it’s worth it.
If you’re looking for something a little more traditional, check out the Saint Laurent Rive Gauche Tote in Linen and Leather. This tote features tubular handles, an inner zip pocket, and silver-toned metal hardware. The combination of linen and leather is both chic and durable, so it’s perfect for everyday wear. At just £1,380 it’s an affordable option without sacrificing quality.
Sometimes, less is more. Check out the Jacquemus Le Chiquito mini handbag, a smooth leather structured design with a reinforced handle and magnetic flap closure. Although it's mini in size, it's mighty in style! This bag is perfect for a night out or as a stylish addition to your everyday look. At £520, it's an affordable luxury that you won't regret investing in.
If you’re looking for a stylish and eco-friendly tote that’s both stylish and good for the environment, then you won’t find a better value for your money than the Falabella mini tote by Stella McCartney. The tote is made from vegan Shaggy Deer fabric and features a diamond-cut chain and monogrammed lining made from post-consumer recycled polyester. At £830, it's a great investment for those who care about the environment and fashion.
Jackie 1961 Small Hobo Bag is a historical icon reimagined by Gucci. This bag is made from a beige GG Supreme canvas in ebony. It has a removable shoulder strap and is lined with microfiber for a suede like finish. The Jackie 1961 small Hobo Bag by Gucci is a must-have for anyone looking for a timeless piece of fashion. It is available for purchase from Gucci from £1,970.
Last but not least, we have Bottega Veneta's The Pouch clutch. At £2,870, this clutch is crafted from Intrecciato leather and secures with a magnetic frame. Its spacious single compartment ensures that style meets utility in every stitch and fold. This piece is ideal for those evenings where elegance is non-negotiable.
"A great bag is more than just a brand or a style. It's a blend of form and function, art and utility. It's where pragmatism meets the profound." - Marc Jacobs
