Perhaps the most important part of a women’s daily life, the handbag is part of their being, carrying a multitude of precious items, unique to each woman. The bag is in perpetual movement, the mixture between the functional, the affective, the relational and the fashion statement.
In fact, the handbag has a sort double life. The inside of the bag is a world of its own, out of sight and judgment of others, far from appearances and conveniences. But it also has another exterior life, the superb, the brilliant, when it appears and gives itself in spectacle.
Here is a selection of the most beautiful bags of the season!
The Mini Bags
The Mini Bag trend has followed the fashion seasons and are now visible everywhere. They usually come with a long strap, allowing them to be worn transversely, making them the perfect bag for you to feel free and comfortable.

Embroidery has become a distinct feature of handbags as many brands and designers produce handbags with geometric patterns, retro flowers and eclectic prints, all often in powerful colours.
