01 – Balenciaga Neo Cagole City Handbag, SGD4400
Starting in brand alphabetical order is this blue washed denim number from Balenciaga. The Y2K silhouette is better than ever, reimagined with frayed detailing and rhinestones covering the aged-silver hardware.

02 – Bottega Veneta Brick Cassette, SGD3290
This is no ordinary Cassette from Bottega Veneta. Think of it as an alternative to the brand’s popular crossbody, except in this case, the Brick Cassette comes with an adjustable top handle. Its average drop length of 16.5 cm lets you wear it casually over the shoulder.

Measuring 28 cm by 14 cm, this indigo washed denim bag is the perfect size for all your daily needs. BOTTEGA VENETA

03 – Celine Large Couffin, SGD2950
But if you need something bigger, here’s where Celine comes in. Standing at 67 cm wide and 30 cm high, the Large Couffin tote is a solid carryall for weekend staycations and short getaways. Also, logo lovers are in for a treat with the oversize CELINE PARIS lettering in front. CELINE

04 – Fendi Baguette Chain Midi, SGD4100
Fendi is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its beloved Baguette bag. And you can expect to see more iterations of the flap bag across seasonal line-ups and capsule collections.

This new dark blue denim version of the Baguette Chain Midi is not to be missed, especially with its easy-to-use magnetic clasp and versatile sliding chain strap offering different ways of carrying. FENDI

05 – Versace La Medusa Mini Handbag, SGD2140
Rounding up the lot is this compact top-handle bag from Versace. The La Medusa Mini Handbag measures only 16 cm wide and 12 cm high. However, the interior features several card slots that save you the need to carry an extra SLG.

The dressy gold chain top handle also complements the Versace Medusa to perfection, the ideal touch of bling on the blue denim body. VERSACE
