Haute Handbag Trend:Top Handles

{ Via: Vogue }

One of my favorite bag trends this season. The Top Handle Bag is classic and classy, ladylike and luxe. Most of all it's feminine. I might add it's expensive, too. This trend was a bit difficult to offer in affordable styles. I did find two bags that are cute and under $100. Though it was tempting, I spared us all the lure of anything over $500.

DeMellier Vancouver Top Handle
A beautiful line of bags handcrafted  and sustainably sourced in Europe. For every bag sold, the brand funds vaccines and treatments aimed to save the life of a child in need. $495
DeMellier  or  Bloomingdale's (where you get a gift card with purchase of this bag.)
Bombon Braided Shiny Leather Bag
You get two for one with this bag. It can be worn as a top handle or crossbody bag. It's made in Spain in a very "in" color this season. $460

Marc Jacobs The Sack Bow Top Handle
An adorned iteration of the beloved MJ Sack Bag. It's also reminiscent of the nylon Prada bags. I think it is as cute as can be. $250

Kira Calf Top Handle 
Like many of them, this bag can also be worn as a crossbody.  $420

The Hunter Convertible Bag
With a 70's minimalist vibe, this bag also looks very modern. The soft squared silhouette is crafted from chocolate leather and supple Italian calf suede. Beautiful! Other colors, too. $475

Cult Gaia Asa Bag
I am so loving this bag! It works for daytime and evening. Of course, the gold handle adds the luxe. $458

Kate Spade Patent Top Handle Bag
Vogue calls this color  Slime Green, and it's a thing for this season. I think it's great fun. $298
Neiman Marcus


Cult Gaia Kazia Bag
Navy. Another surprisingly important color for fall. One of the best bags of the season in my opinion.  It's sculpted, sleek, and sophisticated. $498 You'll earn a $100 gift card with this purchase.

Urban Expressions Hunter Green 
Lizbeth Bag
Faux leather done well. Love the Bottega like weave. $80

JW PEI Lucia Classic Top Handbag
This style is faux, but really fun. It's $99. Who is really going to know unless they touch your bag?
