The 24 Best Bags Worn in New York, London, Milan, and Paris

Often an investment and always a major focal point of an outfit, bags are important. So much so, in fact, that I decided it would be a good use of my time to sift through every day of every city’s street style from this past fashion month to bring you the best purses, period. After all, I'm somewhat of a handbag hoarder collector myself. Was it worth it? I’ll let you be the judge, but my guess is that after you see what I came up with, you’ll come to an indisputable yes, just as I did.

From statement styles that are definitely on trend to more classic purses that you’ll want to wear from years to come, simply continue on to see the best bags from New York, London, Milan, and Paris Fashion Week Street Style, and, of course, to shop them along the way.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
