As the new season sets in, it can be difficult to narrow down which bag you need on your arm come Autumn/Winter. Big or small, clutch or tote, leather or snakeskin, the possibilities are endless. But we’ve selected the five key pieces to be seen with this season and the best news is, they’re all effortlessly elegant yet accessible.
Metallics and snakeskin are set to be huge this year. Make a subtle reference to the catwalk trend with Marc by Marc Jacobs’ Classic Q Baby Groovee Bag. From the king of glitter, this pewter leather piece adds understated sparkle to any outfit. Spacious enough for day yet glamorous enough for night, this is one wear-anywhere bag.
DKNY’s Soft Croc Small Satchel mixes two must-have features; smooth croc-effect leather with a boxy satchel shape. Retro-inspired and consummately ladylike, this dainty number is perfect for channelling a 1960s Mad Men look. The Nappa Saddle Messenger bag by Michael Michael Kors also takes a mock croc finish, but adds a buckle flap front and shoulder strap for off-duty brownie points.
Croc isn’t the only thing that’s hot; snakeskin is also great to be seen in. Tory Burch’s Audra Mini Satchel pairs a classic mini satchel shape with chic python print for ultimate style kudos.
For a more versatile day option, big is always best. Diane Von Furstenberg’s Harper Satchel has all the making of an iconic carry-all, with its sleek black leather, gold buckle front and practical shoulder strap. Perfect for storing all your day-to-day essentials, this classic number is guaranteed to stay sophisticated.
