Every girl needs a nice hand bag.... or a dozen. Here are the top picks straight from my closet:
1. Balenciaga City Classic Black
The most loved handbag in my collection. This bag is made from supple lambskin and has two top handles. Even more convenient is the strap that can be worn on the shoulder. The inside features a large zip pockets to make sure all your valuables are protected. I prefer the small hardware to the large hardware balenciaga bags that were released in the past few years. Is it me or do they look like thimbles/ giant nipples?
2. Louis Vuitton Speedy 30
A great entry level Louis Vuitton Bag that will be worn and loved for years to come! The bag is roomy and easily holds a sunglass case, day planner, magazine, and water bottle along with your keys/ wallet, etc. I literally use this bag everywhere from running errands in the city or picking up my groceries. The monogram canvas actually is GREAT for toting this bag around in the rain!
3. Anna Corinna Jetsetter Jr.
An essential handbag for a young professional, this bag is made out of the softest leather. The best part is that its large enough to stuff a 15" laptop in it, folders, a notebook and all your work day essentials!
4. Longchamp Le Pliage
Shop Longchamp Le Pliage
I absolutely love this tote bag in Taupe. It's carried around by French School Girls in Paris! The best part about this bag is that it is 100% waterproof - so I often tote my laptop around in this plain, yet sophisticated number on rainy days. It is also great for traveling as it can fold up and be stuffed easily into your luggage.
5. Anna Corinna City Tote
This is my go to SPRING season tote bag. The white leather matches and brightens up almost every outfit in my closet. The tote can also be folded in half (its pretty ginormous) and slung over the shoulder with a shoulder strap. I love the simplicity but small details on the bag that make it very unique. I started collecting Anna Corinna handbags in 2005 - it was pretty hard to locate the bags except for NYC at that time where Corina & Foley is based. Now you can find them on revolve, shopbop, even Bloomingdales!
Maybe if I am good, Santa Claus will bring me the latest lust worthy item on my must have list:
MUST HAVE ITEM: Chanel 2.55 Black Handbag with Gold Hardware
At this $2000 price tag, I better win the lottery or have a really good excuse for treating myself to this bag. I'll let you know when I finally take the plunge....
