Currently Trending: Minimalist Totes - Getting Down To Business

When you're out and about running errands, going to work, or live out of a suitcase (like I do) you don't have time for fussy handbags that come with all that drama. You want a bag that fits the jet set go lifestyle. I like my bags streamlined, fuss free, NOT heavy but super stylish at the same time. It's all about the minimalist handbags in classic shapes that are devoid of too much hardware and are of course LOGO FREE. Here are my top picks:

1. Balenciaga Padlock Nude Work XS With Snakeskin Top Handles - This bag screams Mister Wang with its stark minimal design. However, it was the snake-skin top handle that totally stole my heart. It adds just the right amount of luxury to it which is great if you don't want to spend oodles on bag made entirely out of exotic skin. The size is perfect for the day or the night. I've put this one on my wish list on mytheresa.com hoping it will go on sale in the summer as the price tag is a tad bit steep. Click here to purchase.

2. Jil Sander J Large Leather Tote - Whistle Whistle, Tom & Jerry style!! Check out this slick baby from the house that defines the term minimalism. I am loving the shape of this bag. A little sporty (kind of like a duffle bag) and a little futuristic, this is an undeniably sophisticated tote. Six slit pockets make it easier to organise all your tid bits so you're not left fumbling whilst looking for your belongings. The beige leather lining means luxury inside and out and the minimal hardware ensures that the bag isn't too heavy to carry. Finally, the cherry on top is the price. It costs just about one lac rupees which in my opinion is amazing. Click here to purchase.

3. Fendi 3Jours Leather Tote - All right people, make space in your bag closet for the coolest revamp of the season! Karl Lagerfeld has updated the super popular Fendi 2Jours tote making it bigger and with wings. The bag has an open top with a snap button closure and because of its structured frame, it doesn't slouch. Also, the shoulder straps are longer on the 3Jours making it easier to carry on your shoulders. Perfect for a busy day with lots of running around. The metallic silver is in line with the SS 14 trends (metallic colours are HUGE this season) and it has this funky space age vibe to it. In addition, the protective feet means you can put it on the floor without having to worry about getting the leather dirty. Overall, one of the nicest updates I've seen this season. Click here to purchase or Check Fendi at DLF Emporio for availability.

4. Tod's D-Cube Small Leather Tote - I've always been a big fan of Tod's shoes and now their ready to wear stuff, but their handbags never rubbed on to me until I saw this one. I am totally loving the D-Cube bag with its boxy shape, roomy interior combined with the soft and smooth leather. And the colours, ah the colours it comes in especially this stunning blue. If you've been looking for that perfect day/travel bag, this is the one. Click here to purchase or check Tod's at DLF Emporio check for availability.
