The Bottega Veneta Andiamo bag has to be the most-talked-about style at Who What Wear HQ. We all want to get our hands on it ASAP because it's the perfect update to Bottega's timeless styles. If there were only one bag worth the splurge, it would have to be this one.
I've owned this bag in brown for a few years, and it sometimes gets more use than the designer style that I love. It is slouchy and carries way more than it looks like it does.
The current bag that every It girl seems to own is this Horsebit shoulder bag by Gucci. It's the new name on the block, and it makes a unique fashion statement. You'll want to be the first to make moves on this one.
If Westerncore is still on your radar, as it is on mine, this suede shoulder bag is certainly one that you'll want to have hanging off your arm. It's quite a roomy style and nods to the slouchy bags we're seeing everywhere right now.
Savette feels like a fashion-insider secret, as it's a bag brand that only the coolest in-the-know types are carrying right now. The structured shape and gold detailing on this one feel ultra luxe. What I love about the brand most is the absence of logos, for that is the ultimate sign of quiet luxury.
Somehow, Mango created a $60 bag that looks like it would retail for $2500 and I must have my hands on it. If you've been looking for a way to tap into the pop-of-red trend, I would give this bag a try.
If you're the kind of person who wants to carry it all, the Margaux bag from The Row is the one for you. It feels like an elevated briefcase that can carry a change of clothes, a laptop, and anything else you can think of.
Reformation's Chiara bag can be worn in more ways than one. Whether you choose to style it as a top-handle bag or a shoulder bag, you'll find yourself getting many compliments with it on.
I'm waiting for someone to introduce me to a bag that is better than the T-Lock. Oh wait, it's the best on the market right now. I included it in the splurge category, but it comes in at a much better price point than what I've found from other designer brands.
If you want to get your hands on something no one else has, allow me to introduce you to Luar's Ana Croc Bag. Luar is a cool brand that often shows at New York Fashion Week. I love that its price point is so accessible.
Loewe's Squeeze Bag is already predicted to be a favorite among fashion insiders. It has just the right amount of scrunching to make it feel unique, while the gold detailing keeps it elevated.
The bag that has made the most appearances on my TikTok feed just so happens to be the COS quilted bag that fits it all. At under $100, it can fit everything you need by your side for a full day out on the town.
The Andiamo bag just might be the only style that could convince me to break my shopping budget.
The fact that this guy comes in a mini version is sending me.
Brown is the perfect colorway for any Andiamo bag that you have your eyes set on.
Gucci is all about mismatched colorways right now, so don't be afraid to buy the Horsebit bag in green.
