There are so many fabulous handbags to covet this fall season! Thankfully, several of the IT bags, and IT bag styles, can be found for well under $1000. This means we can all afford at least one IT bag; and we can also consider giving an IT bag this holiday season to a handbag fan on our list. Love that!

For 2021, and as we head into 2022, small and medium size bags are what we all need. Structured hobos, pouch clutches, and small totes are the silhouettes of the moment. We will also see a resurgence of the soft hobo very soon; making the hobo style the most important handbag silhouette as we move into the new year. So, if the structured hobo isn’t your thing, you can safely invest in a soft hobo as the style will begin to rise in 2022.

I’m loving the return of the hobo, and pouch clutches are such as a fun style! What is your favorite IT bag trend right now?

My current favorite handbags from top: Mansur Gavriel Candy Bag (review here) / Off-White cross body bag / Mansur Gavriel Cloud Clutch in black / Prada Cleo / Bottega Veneta chain pouch in chocolate brown / Coach Swinger in black / Givenchy Antigona (pictured below) /

Happy National Handbag Day 2021! As you know, this is one of my favorite national days, because handbags are so much fun! This year, I thought I would celebrate my current favorites, as well as my long-loved Givenchy Antigona.

Let’s start with the Givenchy! When I went into my photo gallery to find a picture of my Givenchy Antigona, there were a couple of pages of close-up photos. It’s incredible how often I wear this bag. I have to say, my Antigona is a fabulous, workhorse bag. It is extremely strong and durable. I have carried a heavy, DSLR camera around in it, as well as anything my kids have asked me to hold for them over the years. It has gone to many fashion week’s with me, and it has been my go-to bag when I need a roomy handbag for years. I have a black one, and a light blue one. The black bag is the one I reach for the most, but the light blue bag has been a nice alternative over the years. The Antigona is definitely my best handbag purchase-ever; even over my classic Chanel’s!

I also want to celebrate Mansur Gavriel’s new Candy Bag, and current IT bag, the Cloud clutch. These are great handbags which are easy to wear on a daily basis; plus, they are priced under $1000. Love that!

Designer or Deal structured hobos from top: hot designer IT bag / moderate priced, also a hot IT bag / affordable version under $100 /

The structured hobo is one of the hottest handbag silhouettes of the year. This IT bag style is being spotted on the streets, runways, and pretty much everywhere! The structured hobo was a huge handbag trend back in the mid to late 1990s, and it has returned with a vengeance! So, move over pouch clutch, the structured hobo is here!

The hottest structured hobo bag is priced well over $1000, and it sells out almost as quickly as it is placed on a store shelf. This makes it both pricey, and hard to get! Thankfully, there is an IT bag brand which offers equally hot-on-the-street bags for well under $1000. Mansur Gavriel has debuted their own version of the structured hobo, and it is already proving to be a hot IT bag. You can read my review here.

Of course, even a moderate priced bag can be pricey. This version for under $100 offers the same IT silhouette of the structured hobo for an affordable price. Love that!
