The Designer Bag Edit: Shoulder Bags, Totes, Minis And More

Two hundred designer bags, sorted by the way you actually carry them: on the shoulder, by the handle, as a tote, across the body, as a mini, a clutch or a bucket. I looked for the houses doing real work in leather, raffia and weave, and for the shapes that will still feel right in five years.

Jimmy Choo Shoes and Bags: Pearl, Satin Flats, Clutches and Mules

Jimmy Choo's newest evening pieces are built around pearls, satin and a softer kind of shine.

This edit gathers the new arrivals, from pearly pumps to a fringed top-handle bag.

Classic Designer Bags: The Paddington, the Le City and the Re-Edition

Pura Utz

Anna Waller Andrés from Denmark and Bernabela Sapalú from Santiago Atitlán, Guatemala, founded Pura Utz together, and the brand says it started in Bernabela's family home in 2018.

Vivienne Westwood opened a boutique called Let It Rock at 430 Kings Road in Chelsea in 1971 with Malcolm McLaren, and the shop later became Sex, Seditionaries and Worlds End.

This edit gathers Sunday and Chichi dresses, Hazel and Emma bags, Celestia jewelry, corset tops, Bergere blazers, checked skirts and an orb scarf.

This edit gathers the 55 and 47 totes, a reversible monogram tote, card cases and wallets, bag charms and a passport case.

Maison de Sabré was founded in 2017 by the Australian-born brothers Omar and Zane Sabré, who left careers in dentistry to start it.

This edit gathers Palais bags, crossbodies, wallets, SABRÉMOJI fruit and flower charms, passport holders and a few desk pieces.

Freja New York Bags and Totes

Freja New York was founded by Jenny Lei, who had the idea in April 2019 after failing to find a tote she liked for an interview.
