If you're in the market for a great vintage-inspired bag, look no further than Gucci's 1961 Jackie bag, which was re-created based on an archival design from over 60 years ago. It brings in some of the house's classic elements like the gold hardware and equestrian details.

Prediction: The Row's Everyday bag is set to become a fixture on the street style scene. The brand has a knack for designing cult accessories, and I think this will be the next one.

While Prada's logo-adorned raffia totes definitely made a splash this summer as the ultimate poolside companion, I predict that the fun carryall will continue to be a top pick year round.

Under the creative direction of Matthew A. Williams, Givenchy is headed in a fresh direction, and its latest 4G bag is a perfect example. The boxy crossbody is the kind of modern staple piece you'll reach for over and over again.
