While the majority of the attention at New York Fashion Week is paid to the fashion coming down the runways, handbags are becoming an increasingly relevant part of any designer’s business — and a must-see element of a collection for many fashion fans.
New York labels like Proenza Schouler and Marc Jacobs regularly turn out It-bags from season to season, so all eyes were on the accessories on the New York runways this past week to see what satchels the It-girls and editors would be looking to snap up next season. From a gold bar clutch at Victoria Beckham to a multi-texture bag at Proenza Schouler that’s sure to sell like hotcakes, here are 26 fantastic bags we can’t wait to see on the shelves come spring.































The Proenza bags are great, but my favorites would have to be those from Peter Som and J. Crew! Can’t wait for these to hit stores. Spring 2013 looks amazing.
