My holidays 2020 handbag capsule wardrobe is here! This holiday 2020 season, I am paring down my bag rotation since parties have been cancelled, and we will be home much more than in past holiday seasons.

For the holiday season, I need a workhorse, everyday bag. That bag is my Givenchy Antigona. It is a bag I have had in my wardrobe for years, and it’s strong construction, coupled with ideal interior capacity, makes it the perfect everyday bag of the season. If you are looking for an investment bag to enjoy for years, this is it!

Of course, it is always fun to mix things up! For casual occasions, when I don’t need a workhorse bag, this soft clutch is perfect. It holds coveted IT bag status, and it’s roomy enough to fit my sunglasses case, hand sanitizer, and few extra masks in addition to my wallet and phone. I also love that it’s red (flamma) inside! So fun!

Lastly, outdoor dining is beautiful during the holiday season as the streets are lined with lit up trees and seasonal decor. I am looking forward to wearing this sustainable and vegan, cork handbag on dressier occasions. It has golden flecks, and a detachable gold chain strap. It also happens to be red inside, love that! I also love the versatility of the detachable straps, it’s nice to have a bag which can be worn as a shoulder bag or clutch. Stay tuned for my upcoming review next week!

Designer or Deal? Classic evening hard clutch: designer IT bag version / affordable brand version priced under $100 /

Have you eyed the beautiful, classic hard clutch by Jimmy Choo over the years? I know I have! It’s a beautiful evening clutch which Jimmy Choo offers in different colors every year, while continually offering timeless neutral hues in glittering acrylic.

This clutch has enough room for all your evening essentials, and a hidden chain strap so you can sling it over your shoulder while holding appetizers at an event. While this clutch is priced within reach under $1000, there is a similar version on the market priced under $100. Sometimes it is nice to remove a zero!

This pretty little deal offers the same style as the Jimmy Choo glitter acrylic clutch, without the designer price tag. It is a well-known brand sold at one of your favorite department stores, so you know it is a safe to buy; and legitimate! I would never, ever suggest a shady copy.

If you are interested in this fabulous deal, on the perfect clutch for the holiday party season, you might want to snap it up quickly. It’s currently on sale-making it under $50 right now!

Fall 2020 IT bags under $1000 from top left: black baguette / pastel blue camera bag / pouch clutch / two tone tote  / classic bucket bag / BAO tote bag / round shoulder bag /

The fall season is here, and there are so many IT bags to covet this season! Thankfully, you don’t have to break the bank to snag a fabulous bag for the cool weather season. There are plenty of hotter than hot handbags for fall priced well under $1000. Love that!

The baguette is still a hot, emerging handbag silhouette; and no bag under $1000 is better than the Coach baguette. My favorite style is this beautiful black version; oh, and this one is actually under $500. Love that even more!

Camera bags, and anything Gucci, have an IT factor to them; so it comes as no surprise this camera bag by Gucci is a hot IT bag. Love that it is priced under $1000! Plus, pastels are an emerging color trend from Milan, so this bag is ahead of the fashion curve. The only problem it, which color to choose?

Mansur Gavriel can do no wrong. Pretty much all of their bags are IT bags. This pouch clutch is so hot right now, it might burn you if you touch it! Ha! Of course, their classic bucket bag is a must-have. This two-tone tote bag is the newest bag from Mansus Gavriel’s line-up, and it’s going to be a hit. You might want to grab yours before the wait-list begins.

Here in Silicon Valley, Issey Miyake is a cult favorite. The BAO collection is on the arm of every fashionable women coming out of a home priced well over $5 mil. You can spot them also on the arms of ladies emerging from their Tesla’s. This is the current IT bag in the San Francisco Bay Area right now! This fall blue is my favorite hue. Which color do you choose?

Lastly, geometric bags are hot for fall, and this bag by Staud is the best way to rock the trend this fall season. Love that it’s priced well under $500! I can’t decide which color I like best. Which one do you prefer?
