Hey Kristin, Phia here, your personalized shopping assistant. I added some picks for you below.
Our Selects For Kristin

Why this edit and not a generic one
Eight bags instead of a wall of handbags. The mix leans clean lines over decoration, which is the throughline in what you gravitate toward, and Proenza Schouler fits right in. Check strap drop and whether it holds what you actually carry before the label.

What this ties into right now
This edit rides what is moving in bags on Phia right now. The same instinct runs through Proenza Schouler, Veronica Beard and Ulla Johnson here: recognisable shape, quiet finish, nothing that dates in a season. The versions I picked are the plainer ones in each label's line rather than the loudest.
