Winter's Most Wanted Bags

It's been a while since I talked bags on the blog and so much has happened since I went MIA the last few months. So many new bags to talk about all at once. Of course, I won't discuss every single bag that's been out in one post, but for now, here are the purses that need to be in your closet like NOW!.



Chloe Georgia Mini Leather Bag - Looks like saddle bags are making a comeback in the form of this gorgeous Chloe bag. I'm really loving the shape on this one. The double flaps make the purse so unique and it's suede lining means luxury inside and out. The hardware is subtle and as always, I like that it comes with an adjustable shoulder strap so you can wear the bag cross-body to be hands free. Click here to purchase.

Loewe Puzzle Bag - I knew this bag was going to make waves the second I saw it on the runway for SS15. The shape is without a doubt one of the most unique ones I've seen in a while. The panel detailing make the bag stand out and also have an impact on how the bag folds. The best part is that it's also really functional; lots of room for all your essentials, an exterior zip pocket, a top handle and an optional shoulder strap. All in all, the perfect bag.

Mark Cross Grace Leather Box Bag - Inspired by Grace Kelly's overnight case in Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window, the Grace bag is most certainly a must have. Although it's been around for a while, the label has been reinventing it in so many variations that you don't know which one to choose! For now, I've got my eyes on a simple, yet chic red one. I adore the clean and fuss free design and the 18k gold plated brass hardware is the cherry on top. The bag opens up like a tiny brief case which is so fun and it's compact size means it can easily transition from day to night. Click here to purchase.

Celine Mini Belt Bag - This is another bag that's been around for a while but I've fallen so head over heels in love with it that I just had to talk about it. Part Phantom, part Mini Luggage and throw in a bit of the trapeze... et voila! As always, Phoebe Philo has created another must have purse. I adore the simple detailing on the bag like the geometric flap and of course the belt. Click here to purchase in India from Rock'n'Shop.

Anya Hindmarch Ebury Maxi Men At Work Bag - Anya Hindmarch's fun and quirky bags are always a fun addition to your closet and are quite popular with the fashion flock. From cereal and chewing gum inspired box clutches to traffic signs for this season, the designer infuses a playful everyday charm to luxury. This tote has already become a celebrity darling (Anna Dello Russo has a men at work clutch). Simple, streamlined and lightweight, the bag is roomy and perfect for everyday use. It's protective metal feet means you don't need to worry about ruining the soft leather when you put the bag on the floor. And of course, the sign is a sure shot head turner. Click here to purchase.

Gucci Dionysus Bag - For some reason, I had become slightly bored of the Gucci bags until a few months ago. I just couldn't see the WOW factor in them anymore. I don't deny their exquisite craftsmanship, but I wasn't loving the shapes. Enter the Dionysus and poof, boredom gone. A fabulous shape (even if it resembles the Bvlgari Serpenti Forever bag) with some even more fabulous details. First up is the flap. I like how it's very cleverly layered. Under the main front flap, there's sort of another vertical layer which is usually in contrasting coloured suede in the canvas version. The lining is also in suede with monogrammed canvas on the pockets. However, the tiger spur closure is what really makes this bag unique. Such a beautiful piece of hardware. Space wise, the double gussets make the bag roomy and it's shape make the bag great for the day and night. Click here to purchase.
