1. Fendi “B.Bag“
$27,700*
Hailing the return of the structured bag, this might be Fendi’s best seller since the Baguette. Although the white lambskin runway bag (pictured on the runway) was well-received, the $27,700 black crocodile version is truly coveted.
This Gucci Bouvier Medium Hobo is casual chic at its best and the simplicity allows the purse to speak for itself. The Bouvier is an iconic piece in the Gucci handbag collection, so why not keep it traditional and snapping it up in logo. The Bouvier is available at neimanmarcus.com and retails for $850.

I love this medium-sized Joy Boston Bag. It’s truly one of the most eyecatching Gucci creations I’ve laid eyes on, thanks to the black and white floral embroidery, black button details and gold and silver hardware. It sounds a little bizarre, but somehow this mishmash of elements works. It instantly perks up a suit and it’s a bit of a conversation piece, too. Pre-order it for $1950 at Saks.
The Gucci Duchessa Hobo bag is a good bag for achieving this look because it’s easy on the eyes and the shoulder. The lightweight canvas bag has a leather strap and one large zip pocket inside. It’s available at saks.com for $895.

The Gucci Joy Medium Tote is a great handbag for city life, or travel. Although it’s white, the Joy Medium Tote is also available in black and grey. What I love about the white are the contrasting gunmetal leather handles that give a glam factor to an otherwise plain purse.Medium tote in beige/ebony GG plus with gunmetal leather trim. Double shoulder strap with 8″ drop. Inside open pouch. Also available in white GG plus with platino leather trim. 10″W X 12″H X 5″D. Made in Italy
Gucci’s Diamond Travel Tote is all dressed up in elegant woven fabric and a smart leather crest - and the brand’s logo script scrawled across the front. Though its exterior is rather showy (at least the colors are neutral), the interior is all business: Laden with compartments to keep small items in place, it also has enough space to make traveling a simple, comfortable affair. Not my personal taste, but not bad either. Available for $1276 at Bluefly.
