The Bag Edit

It’s no secret that I love a good handbag. I always have. I love designer handbags but have to specifically believe in the brand/company/label and I love non-designer. I rounded up my current favorites all in one place so of you are looking to make a purchase now or later, bookmark this post!

I really believe your handbag can make any outfit and add to your level of chicness, even with a lounge outfit. I was asked in a q&a to do a handbag round up for all price points, so here it is! I don’t always buy my handbags new, I regularly frequent The Real Real, Rebag, and Keeks Handbags (out of Texas). I also love chic brands like Clare V and Coach is making a comeback. So whatever your price point, making the investment is worth it if you love it. You will carry with confidence and feel like your best self! Also, just to cheekily note, Michael Kors is NOT in and hasn’t been for awhile. Tory Burch and Kate Spade are fine, but try these at similar pricepoints: Anine Bing, Isabel Marant, Clare Vivier, and Polene. I love to stand out, be bougie, and make a statement with my outfit, but also love quality, I have some ‘safe’ choices, and some flashy fun choices. Personally, I always catch myself reaching for my flashy colorful, out there bags and never the basic plain ones.

If you aesthetic is minimal, try and colorful bag or one with pattern or texture. If you do like wearing color, invest in a simple Chanel classic or a Clare V woven. Truly buying designer bags these days is so attainable, buy what you want! Handbag fashion changes so much these days and is so interchangeable, it’s no longer the buy and wear for years. But also, on the other hand, a YSL or Chanel can and will last you YEARS. Have fun with it, it’s just fashion!
