The Bags I Reach for Again and Again ...
I’ve always loved collecting designer bags – not just for their style, but for the craftsmanship, the quality of the leather, and the thought put into every detail. For me, a bag isn’t just an accessory; it’s something I live with, use, and enjoy every day.
I choose pieces I know I’ll wear for years, bags that fit effortlessly into my wardrobe and my lifestyle. Of course, my favourites change over time – sometimes a bag I barely reached for suddenly becomes my go-to for the entire season, while new additions quickly find a special place in my rotation.
Right now, these are the 10 bags I’m reaching for the most, the ones I love carrying and styling every day.
Hermès Favourites
When it comes to Hermès, there’s absolutely no way I could pick just one. These are the bags I wear the most — each one feels special in its own way, and I truly enjoy them. I’ve narrowed it down to my four current favourites, all of which I’ve been wearing non-stop for months and plan to keep styling through the winter season.
Hermès Kelly Pochette
I own this one in several colours. During summer, I gravitated towards lighter shades, but now I’m excited to wear the brown and neutral tones that perfectly match my winter wardrobe.
Hermès Shoulder Birkin
An absolute favourite for fall and winter. It goes with everything — chic yet relaxed, structured yet easy to wear.
Hermès Kelly Cut
My go-to for elegant looks. It’s sleek, perfectly sized for essentials, and pairs effortlessly with any outfit. I love its refined, flat silhouette and timeless appeal.
Hermès Cargo 35
The newest addition to my Hermès family — a stunning green piece that’s both practical and statement-making. Its size makes it ideal even for travel, and lately, I’ve been carrying it everywhere.
