Mock Croc

We’re talking croc-embossed leather, which instantly ups the luxe factor of anything (even that standard black puffer of yours).

Supersize Totes

Big bags aren’t just for the beach. Get one that can carry everything from your wool hat to your entire hydrating skin-care routine for winter.

Saddle Bags

Black leather is classic, but there’s something so nostalgic about a cognac-hued bag. Pair it with something marigold for a ’70s vibe.

Get the look: Urban Originals ($49); Banana Republic ($138); See by Chloé ($395)

Drawstring Pouches

One part bucket bag and one part evening bag, these aptly named (and often glitzy) pouches belong in the holiday party circuit.
