Reed Krakoff
The new 'RK40' bag (named for the address of the brand's NYC atelier) boasts a lightweight design and supple French leather. The classic, roomy shape is ideal for traveling and running everyday errands. We also love that it comes in an array of bold hues.
Balenciaga
Epitomizing Alexander Wang's aesthetic (the brand's creative director since 2013), this tote incorporates a bold industrial accent by way of a cable handle.
Tyler Alexandra
Tyler Ellis launched her brand with the goal of creating items that could be passed down through generations. This bag is a shining example of her design prowess, boasting a cobalt lining, hefty gold hardware and incredible crocodile skin. Our future daughters will likely borrow this one and forget to return it.
Delvaux
Belgium-based Delvaux is the oldest luxury leather house in the world (they launched in 1829), so they know a thing or two about beautiful bags. We adore the stingray panel on this crisp shoulder style.
Mark Cross
You can see the brand's luggage heritage in most of its highly coveted silhouettes, which is exactly why we we've fallen for the softened shape and blush hue of this bag. It's a feminine take on their signature style.
Givenchy
This slim statement clutch comes with a cross-body strap, which means it can take you everywhere from a music festival to a black-tie dinner.
Alexander McQueen
Alexander McQueen's newest style is called the Legend, a fitting moniker since it combines style and functionality like few others (read: swoon-worthy leather, barely there metal detailing, hefty shoulder strap and an extra-wide opening).
Chloe
We're drooling over Chloe's new collection of Elle clutches, which add a dose of luxe femininity to virtually any outfit care of skinny gold chain straps and cheery hues.
Ferragamo
Ferragamo's Fiamma bag combines a classic bowling shape with intricate details. This warm camel shade adds classic glamour to jeans and a chunky sweater.
