We love our bags, especially the functional ones like roomy totes, that will always make us tick. Better yet, if they are designer totes that combine function together with designer flair and craftsmanship.

This is why we are so obsessed with these bags right now because they are a good mix of vibrant hues, striking patterns, and revamps of die-hard staples . We suspect the fashion style stars of the world will agree with us on just how stylishly unique these bags are.

So before they are everywhere on Instagram, these are the designer bags you need to get right now.

By now, it’s no surprise that Gucci’s creative director, Alessandro Michele, loves to trawl through the brand’s archives for inspiration. A recurring motif of this season, the tiger head finished with coloured enamel and sparkling crystals was originally from a vintage piece fashion and jewellery designer Hattie Carnegie’s 1940s brooch design. Since F/W’18, the detail has come to define a new line of retro-inspired handbags. This version’s made from durable beige canvas and trimmed with tan leather and the brand’s signature webbing.
