LSPACE is the Costa Mesa swim label that started with reversible triangle bikinis and a real obsession with fit. I like it for the bright coastal mood and the clothes that carry you from the water to dinner.

Red Bag: The Unexpected Red Theory, Carried on Your Shoulder

This red bag edit covers shoulder bags, crossbodies, top-handles, totes and clutches in true red, from Gucci and Loewe to Coach and Staud. I would start with the one that looks most like my coat and keep the rest of the outfit plain.

Craig Wright's Dragon Diffusion began in 1985, built on basketry techniques borrowed from the South Pacific, Japan and Europe. I go through the woven leather totes and how they age with use.

Best handbags 2025 come down to a few checks you can do from the product page, and everything else is preference. I sort the picks by everyday carry and by what actually decides a good bag.

Bag Edit: Everyday Totes and Evening Clutches in Woven and Suede

This bag edit moves between generous, everyday totes and small-scale evening clutches. Pieces from Loewe, Coach, Tory Burch and Chloe lean toward woven and suede totes built for daily use, while Carolina Herrera, Alaia and Saint Laurent supply the going-out counterpart. The range is less about one shape than about the return of texture, whether raffia braid, jacquard or hand-finished leather.

B-Low the Belt Belts and Bags: The Styles Worth Buying

B-Low The Belt is the Los Angeles label that treats the buckle as the main event. I think a belt changes an outfit faster than a new dress, so this edit is mostly belts, with a few fringe bags for company.

Abbode is a New York shop that embroiders names, initials and small private jokes onto pouches, tea towels and pillowcases. I am a sucker for anything with a note stitched into it, so this edit is about picking the one worth giving.

The Tory Burch Charlie Bag Is Quilted Quiet Confidence

Tory Burch is best known for a medallion, so a bag that leans on stitching instead is a shift. The tory burch charlie bag is built on quilting and a chain-and-leather strap, with the branding pushed almost entirely into the hardware. It is the quietest line the house currently makes.

A guide to the Fendi baguette bag, from the classic Baguette 26424 in canvas, leather, denim and calf hair to the Baguette Soft and Mamma Baguette, plus the minis, wallets on chain and clutches, and close to fifty secondhand Baguettes. I sort them by shape and by how you would actually carry them.

Edmond Goyard signed his canvas in 1892, and the Alpin Mini and Saint Leger backpacks still carry that mark. Check the corners first on any pre-owned piece, including the rarer Cisalpin and Janson shapes.

The Strathberry Bag Is Scottish Restraint With A Metal Bar

Strathberry built its identity around a slim metal bar closure rather than a printed logo, carrying that signature across totes, crossbodies and the more decorative Mosaic line. A hardware-first identifier has aged better than the logo-driven decade that preceded it, which is part of why the house keeps showing up now. This edit moves from the Kite Midi tote down through the Nano and Mosaic sizes, comparing leather against suede for everyday use.

Charles & Keith began as a Singapore shoe shop and grew from its founders’ customer-led designs into a wardrobe of bags and shoes. I would start with the shoulder bags, then choose a heel, flat, or boot around the day ahead.

DeMellier London Names Its Bags After Places You Want To Be

DeMellier names each bag after a city, and the naming is not decorative since every city corresponds to a specific silhouette the brand keeps year after year. That consistency means you can shop the range by shape rather than by season. This edit moves from the structured New York and Hudson pieces to the softer Siena and Stockholm shapes.

Why Everyone Suddenly Owns a Demellier Bag

DeMellier is a London handbag label known for rounded top handles, soft structure and no visible branding. I go through the Vancouver Clutch, the Stockholm Shoulder, two crossbodies and the suede totes.
