National Handbag Day 2022

October 10, 2022 in General Fashion / Handbags tagged fall 2022 / national handbag day by Bay Area Fashionista

Happy National Handbag Day 2022! Today is a fabulous day for all of us. If you are here, I am sure it is because you share my love for handbags! Yay!

Today, we can celebrate our love for handbags by wearing any handbag from our collections which moves us. In fact, feel free to change your handbag during the day! Why not wear one in the morning, a different handbag during the day, and switch to another bag for the evening! Love that!

If you are looking for some fall handbag inspiration, check out my fall handbag capsule here. Wondering about fall handbag trends? Look for hobo bags, small or mini bags, invest in a green bag, classic flap shoulder bags, and wear your cross-body bags on your shoulder, not cross body. Think 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s inspiration.

Here are the handbags on my current rotation:

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!
