Our Favorite Purses and Handbags
The Bamboo Tote Bag
While there are many colorful, incredible bags that belong on your upcoming tropical vacation, we’re here to feature this one in particular.
No bag is as sunshine-ready as the chic Bamboo Tote Bag Collection. This collection elevates far beyond traditional resort vibes; the bamboo trim is shimmering gold. Slip your sleek cardholder into your Bamboo crossbody bag or slightly larger tote for a leather purse experience unlike any other.
Absolutely gorgeous, this highly sought-after purse comes in black and brown, 100% cowhide leather. For a dramatic high fashion moment, carry the Bamboo B Tote made from 100% Ombré Salvator Lizard skin.
The Kuei Bag
One can never go wrong with a piece from the Kuei Collection. Ever.
Let’s chat about the Jumbo Kuei in Brown. Truly a masterpiece, the bag itself is a lovely square shape with a zipper in the front which allows for expansion. With the smooth 100% cow leather and a micro suede inside lining, it’s no wonder that this quickly became Doja Cat’s favorite bag.
The Jumbo Kuei Bag comes in several different colors, such as Aqua Blue for your inner mermaid, brown shearling for cozy vibes, denim for casual shopping days, black, beige, and of course, brown. It’s the leather bag that fits seamlessly into any aesthetic or any season.
Syl Bags
Another quick-to-sell-out product is the Syl Handbags.
Delicate yet powerful. Soft yet strong. We’re talking about the Syl Bag in Ponyhair. Carefully crafted from 100% genuine cowhide, this bag walks into a room quietly, but as soon as it does, you wonder how you could have ever lived without her. The creative round silhouette is the ideal companion for the passionate shopper or art gallery attendee.
The Syl Bag in Blue Beaded Bandana evokes the grandeur of classic mosaic artwork with a whimsical nod that breathes life into a centuries-old art form. Instead of tiles, this bag is made of beads, twisting and twirly into a paisley design that can’t help but bring joy to every step you take.
Before these bags sold out, fashionistas raved about the 420 print bag, Evergreen Crystal, Light Blue Sapphire Crystal, Rose Pink Crystal, and Tanzanite Grey Crystal. These bags were only available for a limited time;
Bags for Every Style: The Impeccable Pick
Popular? We know about popular.
Brandon Blackwood has a wide selection of purses that are sure to add flair to your attire. Here are a few choices for some classic design schemes:
The Small Crossbody for Big City Luxury
Picture this: A sleek black dress made of a snug crushed velvet, the sleeves off the shoulder but hugging at the arms, bedazzled beige heels, a gold band bracelet with a matching pair of dangling earrings. Your makeup features shades of reds and pinks elegantly blended on the face.
And what’s that? Naturally, it’s the ever-so-stunning Sophia Collection. Your choice of these suede crossbody purses will be ideal for a luxurious dinner at that exquisite local restaurant that doesn’t take reservations.
The Leather Crossbody Handbag for Preppy Styles
It’s time to put some prep in your step with a more soft aesthetic. Try on a short A-line white dress with poofy sleeves and a flared skirt ending just above the knees. Step into a set of blue pumps with a matte finish. Finish off your look with soft makeup to enhance the skin’s glow and colorful jewelry decorating the neck, hands, and ears. Take advantage of jewelry reviews and jewelry blogs to help you choose in-trend options.
Did someone shrink your favorite weekender bag? Nope. That’s just the oh-so-iconic Elizabeth Bag. This leather bag is as delicate as mini bags but as useful as your trusty leather backpack. The branded snap enclosure will let everyone know that you are Saks Fifth Avenue chic.
Leather Bags for Dark Academia
For a more dark academia look, incorporate the gold Mini Kendrick Trunk. Own your world in a black turtleneck; a maroon and navy plaid tennis skirt flared perfectly at the hem. Secure a pair of shiny black heeled boots that travel up to your knees and let those gold hoop earrings dangle dramatically.
Add in the Mini Kendrick Trunk in gold, held confidently at the wrist, and you’re set for a night reading in a dimly lit, romantic cafe.
What To Look for When Purse Shopping
In general, there are a few tips to keep in mind when looking for the ultimate handbag. The material, the purpose of the handbag, backpack or shoulder straps, the color of the bag, and each compartment. It doesn’t matter if you are shopping for a large tote for farmer’s market weekends or a camera bag for your tour of iconic small towns — quality is quality.
Let’s discuss how to find a bag that is as flawless as you are:
Best Handbag Material
While 100% leather can be heavy, it’s a small handoff for quality. You might not mind carrying your groceries home in a flimsy plastic bag every now and then. However, in the case of your handbags, the heft is a promise. It’s a promise that says, “I’ll always carry you (and your stuff). Plus, I’m hot.”
Brandon Blackwood bags are made of 100% cow leather which makes them very durable and long-lasting. Review your bag’s care instructions to keep the bag fresh-looking and everlasting.
After all, evergreen styles call for dedicated care.
Purpose of Handbag
Think about your life and what sort of treatment your handbag will get. So true.
When deciding on which purse is truly superb, you want something that will support you on any adventure. Check out a super stunning line of backpacks that can carry whatever you may need for school or work or traveling through Europe. But for the club or going out for drinks, a leather cardholder might be just the thing.
Backpack or Shoulder Bag Straps
Straps are not a concern for these gorgeous, versatile, luxury bags. Straps are an essential part of a purse if the handles are not enough. Each bag, such as the Kendrick Trunks, includes a strap that is not only detachable but also the same color and style of the bag.
There’s no need to worry about comfort here. Every moment is perfectly poised for a flawlessly-executed Broadway show quick change.
Compartments are Key
Information is power — that’s just a fact. Whether you’re leading a Fortune 500 board meeting or cracking Instagram's algorithm, you need to know exactly where everything is and what’s going on.
Search for bags with clever compartments. Additions like flaps with inside pockets, unique zippered areas, and more can help keep your bag neat (even if your room or desk is not).
Best Handbag Colors
There’s a very good reason why the LBD is so beloved. So, let's talk about the LBD of accessories.
Black is a safe choice and will always match what you wear every day. Absolutely. Black purses are the ultimate color for any style or wardrobe.
All of Blackwood’s purse collections have a variety of colors. So grab your black purse but don’t forget that life is a rainbow. Introduce hot pinks, wine purples, earthy browns, etc. We are all unique and need the bags that speak to that.
There’s a purse for all.
Every Week Is New York Fashion Week
Brandon Blackwood is a name synonymous with New York fashion. The Big Apple has always been a hotspot for fashion, but now you can get a little slice of that apple anywhere you are (or are going). With the advent of domestic and international shipping, plus the magic of e-gift cards, the choices are nearly endless as your possibilities.
We don’t shop to live; we live to shop. We choose luxury at every corner and make waves that echo long after we leave the room.
