Grab Bag: Our Editors Scout Out the Best Fall Handbags

Grab Bag: Our Editors Scout Out the Best Fall Handbags

• "Couple standout leopard print with Wang's ultrasleek silhouette and metallic hardware, and I'm gushing over this little crossbody bag that I already imagine styling out with my go-to army jacket and staying fashionably (and functionally) hands-free all season. For a chic evening twist, I'll tuck in the strap and carry it as the cool-girl kind of clutch that lends the perfect finish to an LBD — and red lipstick."— Hannah Weil, associate editor

• "The Edie purse is a classic. Not only will it fit right in with my cozier layered looks (and not to mention, act as the polished finish), but it will also translate into my wardrobe seamlessly for seasons to come. You can't say 'no' to a bag like that."— Marisa Tom, associate editor

• "About the chicest take on patchwork I've seen — the navy on cobalt color combo, the snakeskin detail against leather, speak to the downtown sophisticate, but it's done in an effortless 'throw-on-and-go' style that will work for everyday."— Noria Morales, style director

• "I'm a sucker for novelty clutches, so you can imagine my excitement when I came across this magnificent Fendi Daisy clutch. The multicolored studs, fur trim, and patent detailing look one-of-a-kind, and the smart optional strap is ideal for when you want to go hands-free."— Chi Diem Chau, associate editor

• "The minute I saw this Fendi bag on Sarah Jessica Parker's arm a few months ago, I knew it was going to be the It bag of the Fall. I am such a fan of its minimalism. Its clean lines and defined silhouette make it sleek and timeless, and its use of two textures of the same color of leather give the bag depth and keep its look ever-changing in the light. This bag is one that will catch your attention and hold it due to its sophistication and quiet modern attitude. I'm secretly hoping for Fendi to put out an XXL version so I can start toting one around the city."— Robert Khederian, fashion intern

• "I tend to wear darker colors in Fall, which also makes it the best time to inject a pop of color with a bright bag, like this Alexander Wang ostrich clutch. I think it'll look especially great against an LBD or gray jeans."— Brittney Stephens, assistant editor

• "I love the polished-meets-global feel of this reinvented doctor bag (coincidentally right on trend for Fall!). It feels like something I would covet well past this season, perhaps for the rest of my life!"— Liza Kaplan, FabTV producer

• "Garance Doré I am not, but I can play the part with Derek Lam's awesome iteration of the camera bag. The compact size is ideal for running around, but the width makes it so easy to pack a lot of (small) things in."— Noria Morales, style director

• "Part of what makes Loeffler Randall's new handbags so cool is how they got their name — 'The Rider,' because they have straps you can buckle right to your bike. OK, I'm not exactly biking around the city, but I fell completely for its functionality and charm."— Hannah Weil, associate editor

• "I don't usually go for bigger tote silhouettes, but I couldn't resist this perfectly distressed leather texture in the richest Fall shade of brown. Plus, it will definitely hold my scarf, gloves, and hat without making me look like I do, in fact, carry my whole life around with me."— Marisa Tom, associate editor

• "Being an editor for a fashion site means having a laptop on hand pretty much 24/7 — and there's nothing more depressing than ruining a cute outfit with a freebie tote bag you picked up at a fashion event. In comes Alexander Wang to the rescue! This semistructured embossed leather tote can easily fit all of my tech devices, yoga clothes, and even a mini umbrella!"— Chi Diem Chau, associate editor
