My High-Low Handbag Rotation

I’ve reached a realization lately: I don’t really need any more. What I do need is to remember the treasures I already own and get them back into the rotation. Whether I’m running errands or heading out for dinner, I’ve embraced the “dual-bag” life—there is absolutely no reason you can’t carry a chic luxury bag in one hand while hauling a diaper bag in the other!

My collection is a true study in high to low. We’re talking a range from $30 budget finds to $9,000 investments, spanning name brands, heritage luxury, and completely unbranded gems.

The “Really Love My…” Hall of Fame

Five of these bags have been staples on the blog for over six years, but many are new additions to the story.

1. Gucci Soho: [Feature: Really Love My … Gucci Soho Bag]

2. The Coastal Classic: My white bag with blue handles.

3. Prada Vitello Daino Shopper: [Feature: Really Love My … Prada Vitello Tote]

4. Pink Kate Spade: A perfect pop of prep which I have had since 2013.

5. Rebecca Minkoff Quilted: [Feature: Really Love My … Rebecca Minkoff Quilted Bag]

6. Red Kate Spade: A bold, classic choice but one that I think it time to finally retire.

7. Chanel Quilted: The ultimate investment piece.

8. Red Italy Bag: A souvenir that stays in style.

9. The Paris Find: A tan scallop bag from an H&M in Paris.

10. Black Italy Bag: Sleek with a gold tag.

The Ones That Moved On

Not every bag stays forever. Some were borrowed (like the ASHA by ADM Cabana Tote I snagged from my mom!), while others were sold or donated to make room for new memories.

I’ve also officially “sunsetted” my Longchamp Tote. It was my ride-or-die through my college years and my 20s, but it’s earned its retirement.

Current Craving

Even when you aren’t “buying,” you can still be “coveting.” Since my girls’ trip to Arizona back in December, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the Bottega Veneta Andiamo in Jungle. That green is just perfection.

What’s currently in your rotation? Are you shopping your closet this season or looking for something new?

Five of these have had posts in the Really Love My… series going back six years but mayn new.

Some are name brand, some are luxury, and some have no brand at all – talk about high to low – from $30 to $9,000.
