A handbag can transform an outfit and has particular power now that we are starting to layer up again. This season’s trend is largely defined by practicality and simple but strong silhouettes.

Coach Brooklyn

The bag de jour – seen on the likes of Bella Hadid and all bag obsessed tiktokers. I bought the size 28 myself and have absolutely promoted it to be my go-to bag of the season. It strikes the perfect balance of simple practicality and style. I made a video review of the bag (and compared it to the size 39), if you need help deciding, watch it here.

Demellier New York Tote

This bag has been on my wishlist for a while, as it has everything I love: understated elegance, a lack of logo that makes it very “if you know, you know” and a gorgeously unique design. It’s roomy and practical, while still bringing heaps of style to your everyday and work outfits. They have also made this available in suede, which is oh so tempting!

Cos Bowling Bag

Oh the way I was chronically checking the website for this handbag to restock! And it was definitely one of my more exciting unboxings this year. This hits all the marks for being the perfect alternative handbag to The Row’s Margaux (which, you know, retails in the 4-5 thousands and up), while still being enough its own thing to avoid being a straight copy. It is so spacious and this will come with me on so many weekend trips, as well as hectic work days! The roomy and luxurious bag comes both in a trendy dark brown suede and a classic black smooth leather.
