Ben’s Bag Edit: 7 Designer bags to carry this autumn

As autumn unfolds, it’s the perfect moment to refresh your bag collection! While I continue to cherish black bags, I’ve recently developed a fondness for some stunning red pieces, like the Versace Kleio and Burberry Rocking Horse bag. Ahead, discover seven must-have bags for the season.

 

Saint Laurent Voltaire Top Handle bag 

“When Thai actress Freen shared these photos on Instagram, all eyes including mine were on that purse. Its structured shape caught my attention, and I can easily see it becoming an everyday staple—perfect for running errands or adding a chic touch to casual outfits. Plus, there’s something so convenient about a bag with a magnetic snap closure; it really does make life easier!”

Versace Kleio 

“I first encountered the Versace Kleio bag when Aespa’s Ningning starred in the campaign. It suits her well, inspiring me to feature it in this month’s edit. Made from smooth plongé Nappa leather, this bag stands out right away with its vibrant red hue and plush, pillow-like texture. The double chain shoulder strap and Medusa ‘95 lock closure elevate its luxurious allure, making it an ideal choice for a night out.”

Ferragamo Tote bag 

“If you’re on a mission to find the perfect work tote, let me introduce to you the Ferragamo Tote! Its minimalist, logo-free design made from semi-gloss calfskin leather showcases exceptional quality, while the magnetic golden Gancini clasp adds a touch of elegance. The standout feature is its spacious compartments, easily accommodating everything from your MacBook to your makeup bag and lunch box—whatever you need, it handles effortlessly!”

Burberry Rocking Horse bag 

“My Instagram has been filled with saddle bags lately, and that’s how I discovered the Burberry Rocking Horse. It comes in five colours, but I’m particularly fond of this eye-catching red. The signature ‘b’ closure adds a modern flair while paying homage to the brand’s heritage. I also love the exterior slip pocket for quick access to cards, as well as the adjustable leather strap that allows you to customise the fit to your liking.”

Dior Groove 25 bag 

“If you’re looking to start your Dior bag collection, the Groove 25 bag is a great starting point. At first glance, it reminded me of the classic bowling bag style, but with an elevated twist as it’s crafted from calfskin and embellished with a quilted Macrocannage motif. I love how it has a spacious interior for all your essentials and the leather shoulder strap adds a nice touch, making it easy to wear comfortably over the shoulder.”

Balenciaga Bel Air 

“I was all about the Balenciaga Le City bag last month, but this month, the Bel Air has taken the spotlight! The silhouette has a classic appeal, much like that of Birkins. The multiple front pockets are cleverly designed, and the aged-gold hardware beautifully complements the smooth calfskin. I also appreciate the turn-lock closure and the front belts; whether fastened or not—they add the flair to the bag.”

Longchamp Le Roseau S handbag 

“I’ve known about this bag for a while, but seeing it up close at Longchamp’s boutique at The Exchange TRX made it clear that it’s a must-have. Available in various sizes, its rectangular shape—my favourite—immediately captured my attention. Another highlight is the playful metallic hardware closure, along with the range of colours that pair well with any outfit.”
