Want to know what the latest “it” bags are this season? Here’s a sneak peak at five of the fall’s hottest handbags. Don’t be surprised if you get stopped by several people asking, “Where’d you get that bag?”

The Satchel
The classic satchel is one of those timeless pieces every woman needs. The structure adds polish to any “I just rolled out of bed” kind of day. No matter how little time you have to get ready, a luxe leather satchel in a saturated pop of color takes your look from blah to brilliant. I am totally crushing on fall’s new neutral: crimson.

The Cross-Body
A cross-body bag means hands-free, worry-free—ideal for happy hour cocktails or Saturday window-shopping. This one is large enough to hold all of your essentials, but also small enough to not destroy your shoulders after a couple of hours. And the classic black and white pony print goes with practically everything.

The Envelope Clutch
The oversize envelope clutch was practically on every runway. It’s fashion-forward, yet polished. I’m loving this color-blocked clutch with snakeskin accents that work from boardroom to the bar.

The Drawstring Tote
Who’s got time for fussy clips or zippers? Throw all of your junk (I know, we all carry way too much) into an easy-to-cinch, oversize drawstring tote. Look for modern textures and prints, like this super chic python.

The Crystal Clutch
Extravagant embellishment is a huge trend for fall—but keep the rest of your look understated. Think chic instead of showgirl. Ideal for evening, simply throw on your go-to LBD and let the sparkle clutch do the talking. A wristlet is my insider secret—it allows for a care-free grasp of your champagne flute.
Marni Crystal-Embroidered Wristlet Pochette, $900
