Our recent return to work, play, and travel has brought on a joyful need to refresh the totes and cross-bodies we used to spend time with on the daily. For us, the perfect handbag has to speak to our personal style as well serve as a form of self-expression. Of course, you can’t forget classic shapes, staple shades, and iconic designers when building your collection—but also make sure to add variety by investing in a pop of colour or supporting an up-and-coming designer. With a collection like this, your bag is guaranteed to be the centre of every outfit. Below, our picks are inspired by the return to street style, which has become the cornerstone for discovering what fashion’s best will be wearing this season and beyond.
