I don’t know about you, but I prefer my designer handbags without all those flashy designer logos. I think it’s a reflection of the current minimalism trend that is taking the streets by storm. I’m talking about bags that have simple, clean designs and are all still pleasing to the eye. It’s understated elegance at its best.
1. Chloe Aurore leather duffle bag
Price: $1800 at net-a-porter.com
This black leather duffle-style bag has me in a tizz. For starters, it’s just beautiful to look at. The design is structured, yet smooth and the gold hardware adds that extra bit of detail. The Chloe trademark padlock is a welcome, discreet addition to the design.
2. Proenza Schouler small keep all
Price: $1150.00 at lagarconne.com
If you’re after a black bag, then look no further. This is possibly the ultimate all-black hand bag. Everything from the stitching to the lining to the metal clasp is black. This bag is so sleek and simple in design, it can easily be unisex. It doesn’t matter if you’re male or female, if you’ve got this bag on your arm, you’re sure to be damn stylish.
3. Mulberry Bayswater bag
Price: $1150.00 at lagarconne.com
This is probably one of the most classic designs out there. It has been on my lust list for as long as I can remember. What appeals to me most about it is the fuss-free design. The handles on the top are perfect for carrying or slinging over the nook of your elbow. It also comes in a range of different colours and leathers, but the classic tan is by far my favourite.
