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.

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.

Tod's Shoes and Bags: Gommino, Ankle Boots and Handheld Styles

Tod's traces to a family shoemaking workshop Filippo Della Valle ran in Italy's Marche region, expanded by his grandson Diego Della Valle, who introduced the pebbled-sole Gommino loafer in 1979. This edit moves from boots through structured and slouchy bags to the Gommino family that made the brand's name.

The Croc Effect

Embossed leather, everywhere it counts

Staud Purses: A Plain Guide to Beaded, Mini and Shoulder Bags

Staud purses range from the Demy beaded shoulder bag to the Harlow bag and a mini. I sort them by what they actually hold and which one you will carry.

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.

Secondhand Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene Or Damier Azur

Secondhand Louis Vuitton Damier Ebene and Damier Azur are the same coated canvas in two colorways, but the market treats them as two products. I sort the pieces by print and shape.

Best Purses to Carry Your Whole Life: My Mary Poppins Bag

The best purses for carrying your whole life are big, roomy bags like the Apparis Maxi Colette and the Flattered Alva Big Bag. I gathered the ones I would trust to hold everything.

Living Lux is a bold luxury edit of black and ivory evening looks, plus one cheetah print night. I pair midi skirts, totes, clutches and jewelry for each.

Cashmere Cardigans and Sweaters to Wear on the Regular

Cashmere cardigans and sweaters are easy to wear on the regular, like J.Crew's perfect cashmere cardigan and waffle-stitch crewneck. I added a fair isle snowflake mockneck for when you want a little pattern.

How to Wear Red Accessories

Wear red accessories by letting one bright bag or pair of shoes carry the whole outfit against black and ivory basics. I go through red bags, red shoes and the neutrals that set them off.

How Much Should a Leather Bag Cost: What Each Price Buys

How much a leather bag should cost comes down to what each price level buys, from 150 to 600 dollars. I explain what changes as you go further up and how to tell the difference in a photograph, with small Furla bags as examples.

The Anti-Gift Guide: Practical, Cool Gifts Worth Giving

This anti-gift guide is practical, cool gift accessories and sets that make giving better than receiving. I mixed candle sets, serving bowls and a baby gift box.

Woven And Canvas Carryalls

Woven and canvas bags are back because people carry laptops again, and the material is what changed. I compare canvas with leather trim, Toteme canvas totes, a reversible tote and raffia.

Embroidered Clothing: Loewe and Embroidery Instead of a Logo

Embroidered clothing can stand in for a logo, and Loewe does it on jackets, clutches and jeans. I go through embroidered dresses, skirts, tops, bags, shoes and denim.

Serapian Bags: Mosaico Hand-Woven Leather From Milan

Serapian was founded in Milan in 1928 by Stefano Serapian, who in 1947 invented Mosaico, a technique of hand-weaving narrow strips of lamb nappa leather into a mosaic-like surface. I tracked that woven texture, and its plainer alternatives, across shoulder bags, top-handle bags and totes.

Mediterranean Vacation Style

Mediterranean vacation style for the Amalfi Coast means sun-soaked pieces like a shirred midi dress, a woven shoulder bag and oval sunglasses. I pulled together finds from Alemais, Chloé and Loewe.

Best Leather Totes

The best leather totes right now are big and woven, like the Dragon Diffusion Nantucket and Bamboo Triple Jump. I go through why the big leather tote is back and which everyday leather totes are worth carrying.

City Fall Outfits: Tops and Outerwear for an Urban Climate

Autumn dressing advice is almost always written for weather that cities do not have, all wool layers and country walks. The urban version is a different problem: overheated trains, cold streets, and an evening that starts straight after work. This edit is built for that specific set of conditions.

What's New from Chloé's Winter 2026

Chloé Winter 2026 brings lace-trimmed ready-to-wear, Paddington and Marcie bags in new leathers, tailored jackets and shearling-lined boots. I sort the new arrivals by clothing, bags, jackets and shoes.
