This fall fashion season is a winner in every way. The clothes are classic and beautifully tailored and so are the bags. I love the return to elegance trend evidenced by the lady-like structured forms here. I think Grace or Audrey would have been delighted to carry any of these.

There was a great take on day bags in the new September issue of Town and Country. I would happily wear any of these – they are all fabulous.
The other big news in the bag world is the new collection for Tiffany by Richard Lambertson and John Truex. From what I have seen they fit perfectly with this season – understated, elegant and luxe. Perhaps we’ll see them featured on Mad Men or Gossip Girl. Here is a peek of what will launch sometime this month:

And they couldn’t resist naming a bag after everyone’s favorite Tiffany’s character

I would take any of these in a NY minute – so elegant and lady like. A perfect complement to my kitten heels (also a must-have this fall!)
Me too – and I need a new clutch so perhaps the Holly is in my future!
