“I’m not usually a bag girl: I like the classics, things that age well, things that get me where I need to go. I think Meli Melo makes the most chic, understated, and totally easy bags for any season, but something about this camel color is perfect for fall. (Also, this style manages to be both small in stature and able, through its accordion folds, to carry everything I need. Heaven!)”

“Prada’s new Pionnière is everything I want in a fall bag. It’s small, but deceptively roomy; has a thick, comfy leather strap; and it comes in the richest chocolate brown velvet. If only I could get my hands on it in time for Fashion Week!”

“I’m seriously lusting after J.W.Anderson’s Pierce bag this season: the sleek and simple gold hoop hardware and thick strap is a dream. Reminds me of the Dior Saddle and Fendi Baguette bag days where your favorite accessory was always tucked safely under your armpit.”

“There’s something about this powder blue, puffball-of-a-bag that I can’t take my eye off. Slung loose over one shoulder, it’s so wrong, so right.”

“Such a chic bag from The Row. I especially like that it’s lightweight nylon, which will make it good for my back and, potentially, my carbon footprint.”

“I’ve been feeling for the throwback nylon Prada look for a while, though I couldn’t quite commit to the idea of a traditional backpack. Their nylon bucket bag feeds my appetite for miniature accessories and has all the functional trimmings (hands-free!) that I like, too.”

“I was searching for a cool olive green bag earlier this year and then I spotted this Loewe bag on the runway. I love the rounded shape, and the flat gold hardware is just enough. To me, this fall bag is an example of how to do the big, bold fashion logo in a smart, elevated way—the classed-up, grown-up version of a label whore, if you will.”

“I’ve been dragging my feet over the end of summer, but this Chloé cross-body bag is selling me on fall. The apple-crisp shape in deep burgundy—using a textural play of creamy leather and calf hair no less—has me day dreaming of oversize cashmere and well-cut wool.”

“I’m currently mildly obsessed with Delvaux’s Madame bag in all of its incarnations. The black-and-white version is the perfect goes-with-anything purse, especially with that elegant galuchat closure—the texture is so beautiful!”

“I have my eye on this metallic suede pick from Lanvin. It’s a nice happy medium between the bucket bag silhouette from seasons past and the more embellished evening clutch movement as of late. I take a somewhat minimalist approach to jewelry—aside from the occasional statement earring, I usually stick to a few signature pieces—but with this on my arm, the gold hardware chain strap will be all I’ll need to dress up a casual look for day and is elevated enough to transition into evening.”
