Grab and go with our top 26 handbags for fall. By Christene Barberich & Piera Gelardi
One of our favorite round-ups to pull together has to be fall bags. We're convinced that no other wardrobe staple can make an outfit feel fresher and more interesting than the right new bag. That's why, we've decided not to overwhelm you with an avalanche of the season's most wanted gets. Instead, we've gathered up an unexpected mix of carry-alls—from practical clutches you can squeeze more than a lipstick into, to a slew of Big Bags, styles that hold a lot but still look defined and feminine. Some of the most intriguing bags we found, including a roughed-up metallic shoulder bag and an old-school tapestry tote were tough to put into categories. But considering how much we want each one, that didn't really seem to matter.
