The Boxy Bag Trend: Structured Totes, Buckets and Gold Clasps
This edit gathers structured trapeze totes, bucket bags, gold-clasp shoulder bags, box bags and mini totes with clean, boxy lines. I focus on useful proportions, sturdy details and easy ways to wear each shape this fall.
Bogg Bag Dupe: The Perforated Beach Tote Idea, From Other Labels
This Bogg Bag dupe edit gathers perforated, rubbery and waterproof totes from other labels that share the original's defining look. I would start with a firm base and tall handles, then add a charm.
The Quilted Croissant Bag: Soft Hobos, Crochet and Top Handles
This edit gathers quilted hobos, crochet bags, soft top-handle shapes, brown shoulder bags and mini bowlers. I focused on curved silhouettes, tactile finishes and practical details that feel right for fall.
Bottega Veneta Bag Dupe: The Woven Leather Alternatives Worth a Look
A Bottega Veneta bag dupe search usually ends at woven leather, a soft slouch or a knot, and this edit gathers look-alike bags from other labels in all three. I am walking through what each shares with the original and what to check before you carry one.
Balenciaga Rodeo Bag Dupe: Slouchy Hobos, Knotted Straps and Charms
This Balenciaga Rodeo bag dupe edit gathers slouchy hobos, knotted-strap shoulder bags, suede and soft totes that share the original's relaxed shape. I picked the ones I would want on my own shoulder this fall.
Someone Else's Closet: A Personal Edit of Shoes, Bags and Trousers
The personal edit has replaced the trend report as the way people find clothes, because a real wardrobe has logic that a trend list never does. What makes one work is inconsistency: the odd combinations nobody would put in a lookbook. This edit is built to be read as a closet rather than as a category page.
The Woven Raffia Bag Has a Day Job
Explore woven raffia bags for everyday plans, from Coach’s straw shoulder bag to compact bucket bags and polished totes that work beyond the beach.
The Mini Purse Survived Its Own Backlash
A mini purse works because it forces an edit, which is exactly what an evening bag should do. I run the phone test, then look at how the strap decides the occasion.

Explore designer crossbody bags for hands-free days, from ALAÏA's Le Coeur leather style to Christian Louboutin's raffia Bettina.
Pre Loved Bag: What to Know Before You Buy
When you buy a pre loved bag, the condition of the hardware and the corners decides most of it. I go through what to check, then the everyday carry and evening bags.
The Polène Bag, From a Paris Studio and the Workshops of Ubrique
A Polène bag is made in Ubrique, Spain, by a Paris label founded in 2016 by three siblings. I sort the shapes one by one, from the Numéro Un to the newer styles, so you can choose your first.
Dressing in Morandi Colors
Morandi colors are dusty blue, sage, stone and taupe, the soft shades of a Giorgio Morandi still life. I would wear them together this fall in knits, skirts, trousers, bags and shoes.
Everyday and Travel Bags: Totes, Crossbodies and Beach Bags
The best everyday travel bag has a strap drop that clears a winter coat and a material that wears well. I sort totes, crossbodies, a beach bag and travel pieces by what actually decides it, with notes on what is worth the money.
Chanel Slouchy Hobo Bag: The Chanel 25 in Caviar, Denim, Tweed
The Chanel slouchy hobo bag is the Chanel 25, which arrived with the Spring 2025 show. I go through it in caviar, denim, tweed and suede, with the slouchier Chanel 22 beside it.
Coach Bags Quietly Became the Leather Goods Everyone Actually Uses
Coach shoulder bags pair glovetanned leather with distinct shapes, from the Tabby and Brooklyn families to smaller styles for everyday carry.
Loro Piana Bag: Extra Pockets, Bale Bags and a Wool House's Quiet Side
A Loro Piana bag starts from a family wool business founded in Piedmont in 1924, and this edit sorts Extra Pockets, Bale bags, totes and shoulder bags, mixing new pieces with pre-owned ones. I say when I would reach for each one and what to check before you buy.
The Crescent Lock Bag: Polished Shoulder Shapes for Fall
This edit gathers crescent hobos, horsebit-hardware shoulder bags, half-moons and suede minis with polished closures and relaxed curves. I would check the clasp and strap first, then the suede or leather under your palm.

A first-person guide to the Balenciaga City bag, from the fall/winter 2001 runway to the Le City relaunch. It covers the top-handle, hobo, tote, moto, bucket, mini, nano and clutch styles and how to choose one.

This duffle bag edit covers leather, nylon, canvas, designer and gym bags, all sized for a weekend or a workout. I sort them by trip length and say which one I would carry for a weekend away.
Pierre Laborde Bags: Quiet Shapes From Other Makers
Pierre Laborde bags are handmade in Harlem and new ones sit behind a waiting list, so this edit opens with the few I found secondhand. After that come alternatives from other makers, sorted by shape and carry.
Chloé Paddington Bag: The Padlock That Went From Heavy to Lighter
This Chloé Paddington bag found in the new grained leather, suede, small and mini bags, and pre-owned 2000s originals. I would start with the black one and a good coat.
The Gucci Crossbody Bag for Women, From Mini Marmonts to Small Lunettas
A Gucci crossbody bag for women is mostly a question of size and shape, so this edit sorts the mini crossbodies, camera bags and messengers, the small and medium crossbodies, and the small shoulder bags for dressier nights. It is written for anyone choosing a first one.
