5 Bags You Can Expect to See at New York Fashion Week (#NYFW) – Handbag du Jour

5 Bags You Can Expect to See at New York Fashion Week
Over the years, New York Fashion Week has become less about what’s happening on the runways and more about what’s happening on the streets outside of the shows. Fashionistas and everyone else line up outside of Lincoln Center and other fashion show venues for a glimpse of what everyone’s wearing, or to be snapped by a street style photog to show off what you’re wearing. So wearing eye-catching, statement-making accessories is important! Especially when it comes to shoes and handbags.

As an It bag lover and self-proclaimed handbag addict, I am all too familiar with the important role of handbags at Fashion Week. Numerous people have approached me, asking “Ooh, where’d you get that bag?” or something along those lines. And during fashion week, I’ve personally had many people snap pics of just my bags (particularly my hot pink Celine).

You’re always bound to see your standard array of classics, like Hermes Birkin and Kelly bags, Chanel Flap bags and of course, a selection of Celine Luggage, Phantoms and Trapeze totes. But aside from those givens, there are a few more statement-making, attention-getting bags that are bound to be snapped by the likes of Phil Oh.

Check out the 5 bags you can expect to see at New York Fashion Week:

1. Givenchy Antigona Box Calf Satchel Bag, $1,965
