I’m a bag person. Always have been. These are the five that have been living in my head rent-free lately — a mix of everyday carry, going-out energy, and a couple that just make me happy to look at.

The Roma — Deep Olive Suede

A classic shape reworked for new-world lightness. The Roma is brilliantly endowed with thoughtfully-proportioned interior pockets for all your essentials, a detachable cross-body strap, and a removable solid brass chain. Elegant and versatile — it carries you from morning to evening without skipping a beat. The deep olive suede is everything.

Baozi Suede — Light Blue

Inspired by the shape of a Chinese dumpling — yes, really — and it’s as cute as it sounds. The Baozi is the medium size of the signature line, featuring real functionality and Italian craftsmanship. This light blue suede is the color I keep coming back to.

Veronica Beard Dash Top-Handle Bag

Veronica Beard does structured bags so well. The Dash has a clean top-handle silhouette that reads polished without trying too hard. The kind of bag you grab when you want to look put-together but don’t want to think about it.

Cult Gaia Kazia Nano Crossbody

Tiny bag, big energy. The Kazia Nano is one of those pieces that makes an entire outfit. Cult Gaia always nails the sculptural thing without being impractical — this one fits your phone, cards, and keys, which is honestly all you need for a night out.

Oroton Clara Mini Bag

Oroton is one of those Australian brands that deserves way more attention. The Clara Mini is sleek, minimal, and has the kind of hardware that catches light beautifully. It’s the bag equivalent of quiet luxury.
