Check out the arm candy: 12 fall handbag picks

Share via

Dressed up in exotic skins, luxe metallic finishes or touchy-feely fur and shearling, fall’s handbags are haute stuff. New to the mix are covetable designs by Joseph Altuzarra and the debut label Hillier Bartley by Katie Hillier and Luella Bartley, who previously designed for Marc by Marc Jacobs. Hobo and saddle shapes, patchwork python, and plenty of fringe channel the season’s California-girl gypset spirit. And what could be more chic for globe-trotting than a shrunken version of Louis Vuitton’s signature steamer trunk, cleverly created by the heritage brand’s artistic director, Nicolas Ghesquière?
