Don’t you love it when a classic style is hot on the streets? I do! The classic chain handbag, popularized by Chanel’s famous classic flap shoulder bag and 2.55 shoulder bag, is hot by any designer right now. While the anonymous handbag is hotter than hot, the chain bag is right there along side it.

Chain shoulder bags for spring 2024 should be as classic as possible. Steer clear of logo fabric bags and stick to smooth, exotic, or quilted leather. You want your chain bag to be timeless, and an investment for your overall wardrobe. You can choose a seasonal pastel, which will work every spring season for years to come, or go for a black or neutral hue you can wear all year long. It’s up to you and what you need in your handbag wardrobe. Love that!

If you have a collection of Chanel bags with chain straps, you’re good! If not, there are several designer, mid-range, and affordable chain bags on the market you can choose from. Personally, I love the ones by YSL, Jimmy Choo, Marc Jacobs, Coach, and Tory Burch. They are chic and timeless.

Also, if you are jumping on the TikTok “Mob Wife Aesthetic” trend, chain bags are perfect with your faux fur coat and large hoop earrings to complete this look.

Here are a few fabulous chain bags from around the web you can shop online:

What do you think of the chain bag for spring? Are you a devoted fan of the look? Or will you continue to resist one of the most classic handbag styles of all time?

This beautiful, soft tote bag from The Row is hotter than hot right now. The catch? It is really expensive! If you don’t mind the price, go for it. The Row Margaux is a beautiful, investment handbag which can be worn for a lifetime. But, if the price is a bit of a shock, there is a similar version in suede which is priced under $1000. Love that!

While the suede version looks floppier in the photos, keep in mind the handbag from The Row is soft leather which gets floppy after being worn for awhile, so they are more apples to apples than the photos suggest.

Which one do you prefer? Designer or deal?

Handbag Spotlight: The Row Margaux

Handbag Spotlight: The Row Margaux /

If you are on social media, I am sure you have already spotted this beautiful, slouchy tote bag by The Row. The Margaux is a double handle tote, or satchel, which is made from the finest, slouchy leather and offers a soft, high-quality vibe. Love!

The Row Margaux is available in various sizes indicated by a number after the handbag name. 10 being the smallest, 15 is medium, and 17 is a large, travel tote size.

As much as I adore this beautiful investment bag, I cannot personally justify the price. If you can swing the price, invest in this bag! The Row Margaux is a fabulous investment purchase which will last a lifetime. The classic, double handle tote design combined with slouchy leather offers a timeless vibe and craftsmanship which will last through your retirement.

This handbag can be used as a work tote, a travel tote, or a tote for carrying a ton of stuff. haha If you have a lifestyle which requires the use of a spacious bag, this is the bag.

In addition to being a fabulous, timeless handbag, it is currently trending as the hottest IT bag of the moment. But, like the Givenchy Antigona, we hope to see The Row Margaux become a classic long after the hype fizzles out. While these transitions from IT status to timeless status are never for sure, there is a good chance The Row Margaux will make a smooth transition into the forever bag category.

What do you think of The Row Margaux? Is this beautiful handbag on your wish list? It is currently on my dream list. haha
