After some rigorous in-depth research (i.e. poring over pictures from the Fall 2014 collections in four cities), I now suspect that we'll all want a retro-looking top handle bag in the very near future. So, I've made things easy by narrowing it down to these selects: this most coveted Tod's mini satchel (as pictured above, but I also love the slightly larger size), this fashion-insider favorite M2Malletier clutch, this ladylike Tory Burch, this budget-friendly Hermes-blue Asos, this velvet Dolce & Gabbana, this striking zipper-trimmed Milly, and this easy red side pocketed Topshop.
