Eight bags instead of a wall of handbags. The mix leans polished but easy to actually wear, which is the throughline in what you gravitate toward, and Anine Bing fits right in. Check strap drop and whether it holds what you actually carry before the label.

Coach Brooklyn Bag is among the most searched queries on Phia right now, and that is the current this edit is riding. The same instinct runs through Anine Bing, Coach and Toteme 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.
