The Bags We Need This Fall
Because it's always a good time to invest in new bags...
In case you can't drop all the $$$ on one Valentino (and most of us can't), Kate Spade and Rebecca Minkoff have come to save the day.
Their versions of the print are divine and all 4 of these could easily find there way smoothly into my wardrobe, thank you very much.
I'm living for smaller bags (obvs) and a little snake print belt bag is pretty much the trendiest piece you'll find this season. Go grab now.
LITERALLY ANYTHING from Cult Gaia
This brand continues to go from strength to strength. They took over the fashion world this summer with their bamboo Ark bag, but for fall, the designs are getting even better if that's possible.
The Mini Ark is one of my faves and in this stunning glossy tortoiseshell, I'm literally obsessed with it. I don't think you can get much chicer than this.
I'm totally here for the green of the Lilleth. Plus, it's acrylic (see later in the post) so it's goooood. The colour screams expensive and this would style and elevate literally any fall outfit.
Because I love the tortoiseshell, I also love the Luna in this colourway. There is just so much choice from this brand!
If you want something slouchy, unique and incredibly "fashun" - take a look at the Angelou.
The design on this handbag is outrageously good. Just don't put it down on the floor at a restaurant purrrlease!
Not bags - BUT, did have you seen that Cult Gaia have earrings???? FYI - They're good.
Deep Green
A key colour for leather goods this fall, deep green is chic, elegant and timeless, all the things we want our bags to be.
I'm loving these slouchy shapes from Jil Sander and Maison Margiela, proving that mini isn't always best.
HOWEVER, I still love minis and this Chloé is defo on my list.
Ganni pulls two trends into one with this green snake and I'm herreeee for it.
YAS Topshop
Beaded or pearl bags started to make a bit of an appearance towards the end of the summer but Topshop has taken that micro-trend and created these babies, which I actually prefer!
They are a GREAT price and they're a cute little addition to your bag collection if you're not ready to start dropping the $$$ just yet.
I'm loving the rainbow stripes, but the simple white is also effortlessly chic. Carry with a cool AF outfit to dinner and it's the perfect compliment.
Clear/Acrylic/Transparent/PVC
Whatever you want to call them, if it's a bag you can see straight through, it's the right choice for fall!
I have so many on my shopping list! Which are your faves?
Okay Valentino
Yas, OK Valentino, you've proved you're the bomb.
This bag is AMAZING. Plus, it includes the hottest print of the upcoming season; snake.
It's fabulous and comes at a more than fabulous price point (although it is considerably on sale right now). But it's sooooo delicious.
