Saint Laurent Calfskin Hobo Bag
"Shoulder bags are in! This Saint Laurent hobo is the perfect accessory to take you from day to night. Opt for embossed crocodile leather to add texture and personality to an otherwise classic style.”
Balenciaga Agneau Arena Le Cagole Shoulder Bag
"As seen on all the hottest celebrities, this Y2K-inspired shoulder bag is Balenciaga’s latest hit. Keep it classic with black, or make it fun with pink. You can’t go wrong with this one.”
Prada Satin Crystal Mini Re-Edition 2000 Bag
"The Prada Re-Edition has been on the must-have list since its debut in 2020. The new crystal-embellished version gives a more elevated look to this stunning throwback.”
Bottega Veneta Shearling Mini BV Jodie
"With designer Daniel Lee leaving this recently revived fashion house, it’s hard to predict the fate of their designs. What we do know is his creations like the Jodie and the Pouch have made Bottega Veneta a household name. This shearling Jodi in pink brings a fun twist to a special design.”
Hermès Epsom Mini Kelly Sellier 20
"The Hermès Mini Kelly is the It investment bag this year. I recommend a neutral color like black or etoupe to get the most out of this fun take on the Hermès classic.”
Chanel Caviar Quilted Small Double Flap Bag
"Chanel is on fire this year. With its constant price increases and limited availability, you’re lucky to get your hands on any classic flap these days. That being said, Chanel’s new shade of pink is the hot new color for 2022.”
