Women’s bags serve a purpose far beyond carrying our belongings. For many women handbags are like the icing on the cake for every
outfit.
Especially in a minimalist
wardrobe
where the handbag can be the distinguishing feature. Or the piece that ties the outfit together.
The fashion scene, whether it's fashion events, social media, or magazines, is always awash with popular colours and trends.
Pieces that are created with a focus on the short term thrill.
I prefer to be a champion of minimalism. To celebrate and share pieces that are made to withstand and outlive trending fashion.
Those wearable gems that will remain valuable in your wardrobe.
So that's what I share here; those gorgeous bags from designer brands, as well as some more affordable minimalist brands, that you'll be
styling with outfits for many years to come.
And when I look for women's bags I’m looking for the designs that will serve your lifestyle and your wardrobe.
Whether small or large, a clutch or shoulder bag, smooth leather or suede, there are so many options to choose from.
Keep scrolling to see 41 of the best timeless women’s bags I’ve found, both new and pre-loved, luxury and more affordable, to
serve both your needs and your desire.
