Even though we often advocate “healthy” shopping habits, it is good – therapeutic even – to spoil yourself once in awhile with a hefty but worthwhile purchase you can use over and over again – and if there is one fashion item that will always be worth splurging on, it would be a handbag.
We went on a hunt for the hottest new releases out there for you to grab, whether you like your handbags clean and classy or a little bit fancy. Check out these designer brands who have #flawlessly aced their handbag games in both ways.

If you’d prefer spending a few thousand dollars on a simple (but timeless) handbag, we say go for it. Bags with cleaner lines and more classic shapes like the Gucci Slyvie Chain-Embellished Embossed Leather Tote and Miu Miu’s School Velvet And Patent-Leather Tote are much more wearable for any time of the day (and night). These classic looks will last much longer than the more exuberant ones, so they’re worth the investment.
Although these bags are simple, it is not to say that they cannot be the statement piece of your look. Accents such as ruffles, tassels, and even the metal-ware can add textural interest to bring out the bag. Case in point? Our personal favourite of the moment has to be the aptly named Sailor Tote from Kenzo. The size is perfect for everyday wear – it’s not too big nor too small – but the large pastel pink tassel that’s dangling at the clasp of the bag is what sold it to us.

If you think your moneyis better spent on an in-your-face embellished bag (like Fendi’s Micro Double Baguette Crossbody Bag) or a full-on shearling clutch (like this one from Miu Miu) – we’ve picked out just the right bags for you.
We love this Givenchy tote that’s decked out in an art deco print (which is also one of our favourite art movements ever) that shows how an ostensible “fad” can stand the test of time. If a fad that was in trend decades ago still looks as stylish today, you know that your splurge was worth it.
How do you pull off such “loud” bags? It’s only natural that these bags will steal the show – no matter how flamboyant your accompanying outfit is. The key to choosing the right bag is to have a good hard look at the pieces in your wardrobe. If your closet consists of mostly nudes and neutral pieces, pick a bag with a base colour of blacks, beiges and whites – no matter how crazy the prints or embellishments are, the complementary base colour will be able to pull together your whole look and make your ensemble look more coherent.
