top brass

If you're yearning for new fall bag, one that will instantly update your look, consider the top handle bag. Retro in appearance, ladylike in spirit, these compact bags often come with a longer strap, so you can sling it around your shoulder, or wear it cross-body messenger-style, freeing up your hands to do stuff (always a plus)! My new crop of favorites come from 3.1 Phillip Lim, M2Malletier (above), Chloe, Sole Society, Valentino, Asos, Zac Posen, Mark Cross, and Kenzo.
