It's All About the Bag | Fall Handbags for Every Occasion
It’s officially fall, and we are pretty excited about the cooler temps, the cozy dinners ahead, and the slew of cultural events that fill our calendars this time of year. A new handbag elevates our outfit and carries us into a new season filled with indoor activities like fundraisers, the theater, symphonies, and more. Let’s dive into some of our beloved brands for the occasions ahead.
“Carryalls” are all the rage right now and the Wandler Maggie Bag is the ideal office-to-evening sidekick. It’s deceptively large, and its slim straps are convertible so if you’d prefer a shoulder bag when you’re done zipping around town, feel free to adjust. The Maggie could easily become your new Mary Poppins. Because of its sleek Italian leather and gold hardware, it’s a more chic approach to carrying all you need.
It’s time to lean into the “Cowboy Core” aesthetic that 2024’s frontier has welcomed with open arms. This trend is a “lasting commitment to a timeless and charming aesthetic” as said by Forbes Magazine (and many others). Beautiful textures like leather and suede become wardrobe staples and anything neutral is as versatile as the LBD. Enter the aptly titled Il Bisonte Salina Saddle Bag – an epitome of a minimalist’s companion. Its two large inside compartments allow room for all of your belongings, and its crisp edges and smooth leather create a clean look for everyday wear.
One of the best parts about living in Portland this time of year is the Oregon Symphony season. It’s an excuse to dress to the nines and paint the town, so what better occasion to don a classy clutch? Cue the Maria la Rosa Strass Mini Game. The rhinestones are handwoven into the black clutch to add subtle sparkle and enhance your symphony swagger. Bonus? It has a removable chain strap in case you’d rather wear it over your shoulder.

The nostalgia of the 2000s is back in full swing and has made its way to our handbags in present day. The Bowler bag’s resurgence is in thanks to how it possesses stellar qualities all in one: sleek, trendy, versatile, you name it. The newest Staud Mini Bowler checks all these boxes. Plus, its Pinot color is an ode to one of the season’s most smashing shades. Bucket bags are also at the top of our lists and a runway norm. Mansur Gavriel’s rendition of this favorite, with their new supple Italian leather, will be your go-to this season (and for many seasons to come). Either style pairs well with a fall sweater dress or your head-to-toe denim look.

The origin of the handbag can be traced back to as early as 3000 years ago when they were sewn into belts or worn by elite Egyptian women to showcase wealth. Now, we can fill our collection for the same season with multiple options to our hearts content. Whether you’re in the mood for a playful clutch or a cool crossbody, there’s a style for every mood. What better time to do a handbag refresh than at the beginning of a new season?
Until next time,
