It’s almost fall, y’all, and this video is basically me pulling together the handbags that are going to define my autumn style. I’m sharing the bags I plan to actually reach for—why they feel so right for the season, how I like to carry them (crossbody, crook-of-the-arm, backpack, tote), and what makes each one work for my real life as a wife, mom of five, and always-on-the-go human. Spoiler: I’m in my chocolate brown era, and I’m not mad about it. I start with my Polène Numéro Dix in that gorgeous chocolatey shade and talk about why crescent bags shine when you need them cute but out of the way. Then we get into my ride-or-die fall pick: the Coach Empire Soft Carryall 28 in Honey—she’s the one I reach for constantly, and I love her on the crook of my arm. I also share my Coach Turnlock backpack for handsfree days, my Polène Moï in Ebony for capacity (and compliments in the wild), my Verano Hill woven bag for warmer Southern fall weather, my KAAI Icon for unpredictable storms, my special-release Coach Tabby in full grain leather, my Chloé Marcie bucket bag for chic daily running, and my beloved “fits-everything” tote. And yes… I confess my suede paranoia, but I still had to show a suede beauty anyway.
