Fall Handbag Favorites!

What better way to welcome fall than with a new bag or two?! We always turn to the RealReal for the best deals on designer bags, whether it’s a recent style or a fun vintage find. We like to search by brand (we check Valentino, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, YSL, Chanel, Hermès, Prada and Dior), and then we’ll also search specific shapes like totes or weekenders and our favorite materials like raffia and bamboo. Right now we’ve got our eye on this monogram bucket style, this unique patterned shoulder bag, this neutral hobo and of course this gorgeous chocolate brown Birkin! We also regularly check for great watches…we love to search for Rolex, Hermès and Cartier styles to add to our collection. Happy shopping!

Feminine Fall Favorites

We’re excited for cooler fall temperatures and have been finding the prettiest new pieces to add to our closets! We’re crushing on pink and neutrals right now, and finds like this sweet dress are great now while it’s still warm but then will be perfect with a cashmere cardigan or blazer as temps drop (and bonus: it’s only $28 today when you use the code ‘ADDTOBAG’ at checkout!). A few other J.Crew steals we’re eyeing include this cropped cardigan, this cashmere crewneck and this funnel-neck sweater, and don’t miss this striped top that we own and adore (now just $16!). We’re loving these braided detail slingback heels that we recently picked up (only $80!), and we just added these raffia ballet flats to our cart (they’re under $70 today!). Just click or tap each item in the collage above for all of these details on these feminine favorites for fall. Happy shopping!

Splurge vs. Steal Fall Handbags

It’s hard to believe that fall is just around the corner! Each year we invest in a few staple bags that we know we’ll love and wear for years to come, but we are also always on the lookout for the best steals! For luxury designer bag purchases this is our favorite source for scoring great deals…right now we’re eyeing this classic Chanel flap bag and this Valentino top handle style.
