I Think of Steve Madden for Shoes, But Its Bags Are Kind of Great
Steve Madden has been in the fashion business since launching in 1990 with its iconic chunky heeled shoes. But did you know the brand also has an A+ accessories game? It's true.
We caught up with Christina Ciglar, creative director of retail at Steve Madden, to get the scoop on its latest and greatest handbag offerings, including details on the 10 best-selling styles. This season's must-have is the top handle Bamina, followed closely by Bbright and Bnoble-C, the glimmering rhinestone mesh mini bags. "We think they are perfect for any festive get-together this upcoming winter season," notes Ciglar. Also, evening bags are all about bling, with the customer pairing her night-out heels with top-handle styles and petite pochettes.
From crossbodies to clutches and evening bags to everyday, there's bound to be a bag to meet the moment. And, of course, any bag you choose is guaranteed to go great with a pair of Steve Madden shoes.

10. BNOBLE
A pink pochette is always a crowd-pleaser. Let this bag be the statement piece for almost any outfit.
9. BKAYA
Two styles in one? That's right: remove the strap to convert this shoulder bag into a croissant. Voila!
8. BBRIGHT
A blinged-out bag that goes from day to night. A hidden crossbody strap and a structured bottom make this style sturdier than it seems.
7. BAMINA
We're into top handles for evening bags. This style comes in so many great colors, it was hard to choose just one. If black bags aren't your thing, don't worry—ivory, bronze, and pink are all close contenders.
6. BBRITTA
Quilting is always classic. This durable everyday bag measures 5in L x 5in W x 9.25in H, with plenty of room for a laptop and more.
5. BGLOW
The bag of the moment has arrived. This stunning style features two exterior zipper pockets, a detachable zip pouch, a detachable mirror, and an adjustable strap with grommet and stud accents.
4. BKROME
This style comes in several cool colors, plus has three different detachable straps so you can match it to every look.
3. BVITAL
'90s throwbacks are always a good idea. Wear this as a crossbody, over the shoulder, or use the stylish top handle.
2. BMAXIMA
A match made in heaven, this versatile beauty can be worn as a belt bag, crossbody, or over the shoulder. Carry it with confidence!
1. BDIEGO
Who's sneaker doesn't need a partner in crime? This structured trapezoid bag with athletic-inspired details like mesh overlay panels, sporty laces, and an oversized quick-release buckle closure mirrors Steve Madden's Possession style sneaker.
