Picture this: You’re stepping out on Rodeo Drive with your beau after the release of his band’s latest album. You’re rocking the most ideal messy-chic outfit: a combination of designer cargos, chunky wedges, and salt-spray textured hair. Everything is effortless and looks expensive. Paparazzi huddle in wait along the sidewalks as you two hop in and out of luxury boutiques. It’s the perfect lazy Saturday afternoon in It Girl world, which, of course, requires a perfect cool bag to kickstart the next hot trend. Here’s our round-up of the up-and-coming It Bags on our radar.

Pill Box Shoulder Bags
Though you may be caught in the tabloid pages, it’s never too early to start planning your rebrand for more elegant fashion magazines. Consider a timeless shoulder bag, like the Marge Sherwood Green Bessette Shoulder Bag in a calm, soothing shade of sea-foam green. Channel the timelessness of the French It Girls before you with the KHAITE Black Simona shoulder bag, in a supple, obsidian calfskin leather. Or nod to your punk-rock roots with the must-have ABRA Pink Spike Baguette bag, with its sleek silhouette and heavy metal spikes.

A New Take on Totes
You’re obviously booked and busy, so you need a bag that can keep up with your on-the-go lifestyle without veering too far into shabby-chic. FW24’s totes have all the room you need for your scripts, lip glosses, iPod classic, and massive sunglasses case. The Gimaguas Yellow Franca Bag transforms a classic grained leather tote with adorable flat-faced studs. If you need a little more organization, the Maryam Nassir Zadeh Orange Julian Bag comes with two front-facing pockets, and two zip pockets at the back for easily accessing your Lexus keys and freshly charged crystals. For visiting your friends in the depths of the Laurel Canyon, grab the SC103 Blue Medium Links Tote: This handcrafted, woven leather tote gives you the air of a California mystic to make sure you blend right in with all the other free spirits (just avoid joining any New Age thought movements without the consent of your PR).

Signature Subtlety
Perhaps you’re at a place in life where it’s time to finally launch a wellness brand. But before you begin experimenting with peptides, bakuchiol, and tea tree oil, you’ll need a bag that means serious business. The TOTEME Brown Belted Croco-Embossed Bucket Bag is made of a sturdy, structured leather that’ll look great paired with loafers and straight-leg denim when you’re caught leaving Erewhon. If you’re looking for something more relaxed for new, wholesome era, grab The Attico’s slouchy Burgundy ‘La Passeggiata Medium’ Top Handle Bag, featuring the brand’s signature asymmetrical silhouette, revamped with a three-compartment interior and full-suede lining.
