Son Ye-jin’s designer bags in Thirty-Nine are perfect for work

Son Ye-jin carried this bag with a striped Marni top, white trousers and a simple pair of Piaget earrings, pulling off a casual yet polished look that can be easily replicated.

This light blue Delvaux bag features a silhouette originally designed in 1967, but it has been updated to fit modern styles and trends.

Valentino bags made a couple of appearances in the show, such as this piece paired with a girl-next-door Bride And You outfit.

Constructed with black grainy calfskin leather with a napa leather lining, this understated design is contrasted with antique-brass-finish metal hardware.

This small, light bag was matched with a simple yet elegant Valentino tweed dress to create an outfit that’s suitable for romantic dates and friendly gatherings.

This bag is available in red, white and black, and features the iconic maxi studs as the main design element. The strap is removable, so you can carry it as a clutch, shoulder or crossbody bag.

One of the more extravagant styles, this Alaïa bag was featured in multiple scenes. Son Ye-jin carried the bag with a Theory shirt and Jaeger-LeCoultre watch to reflect the quiet confidence of a 39-year-old woman.

The distinctive black bag is made with the brand’s Vienne motif that showcases its unique craftsmanship. It also comes with a detachable shoulder strap to let you go hands-free.

While carrying a two-toned bag from Tory Burch, Son Ye-jin wore a white dress from Valentino with a distinctive, matching VLogo belt.

We love Tory Burch bags for their elegant, work-friendly designs. This Lee Radziwill Petite Double bag is crafted in leather and suede, and made with layers that unfold like the collar of a trench coat.

ICYDK, Son Ye-jin is a brand ambassador for Valentino so it shouldn’t be a surprise that she carries a few of their bags in the show. Here, she wore a Valentino bow-detail cardigan with the white handbag for a sweet and elegant look.

Her character is often seen in simple yet sophisticated blouses, accented with jewellery, watches and classic purses that complement her polished look.

The Limousine handbag is named after the classic suitcase made in 1902. The three-dimensional silhouette reflects the historical charm cherished by the brand.

Italian label Salvatore Ferragamo is another popular place to shop for work bags and shoes. Not surprisingly, it is one of the brands that will appeal to 39–year-old career-minded women, like Son Ye-jin in the show.

The Studio bag is made in a decent size that can hold your daily necessities. The light colour and gold Gancini buckle add a touch of sophistication.

Another fashion item Son Ye-jin wore in the show? Loosely-cut knitted cardigans. Paired with her straight hair, the look reflects her feminine and gentle temperament. To match, she picks practical bags that come in simple, neutral colours and classic designs.

This bag is fitted with a hand-braided strap and a removable shoulder strap. Although the bag isn’t that big, the three internal compartments make it as roomy as can be.
