Just like replenishing your stationary before heading back to work, a new year signals the perfect time to invest in a bag to carry you through the year — and well beyond. Maybe you’re in need of a new and roomy tote to hold your whole life in. Perhaps your off-duty crossbody could do with an upgrade, or maybe you’re after a sleek day-to-night shoulder bag to cover you at all manner of new year events.

Whatever your criteria, QueensPlaza’s luxury boutiques have no shortage of new season pieces to elevate your purse game. Here, we round up the six we love.

The carries-everything work tote

When it comes to work totes, you want something durable and unfussy that you can fit your life in. Burberry’s Check Tote is roomy without being too bulky, lightly structured and made from a thick cotton canvas, so you’ll never have to worry about scratches or stains.

The off-duty crossbody

For days when you’re running errands and need a lightweight yet deceptively roomy crossbody, consider Saint Laurent’s Jamie Pochon bag. Made from supple lambskin with gold chain detailing, we love it in a versatile olive green shade.

The new evening bag

Metallic is going to be everywhere this season, but rather than going for predictable silver or gold, take your cues from the sea. A mini version of Chanel’s iconic 22 Bag in an iridescent blue was debuted at the house’s Cruise 2024/25 show, and it’s a playful take on the traditional evening bag.

The small-but-mighty shoulder bag

If you think Gucci’s 1995 Horsebit shoulder bag couldn’t possibly be a staple bag in your rotation, think again. The boxy, structured silhouette promises to fit a wallet, phone, Airpods and a lipstick, and in Gucci’s Ancora red, looks very chic doing it.

The one worth splurging on

Fendi is more than the Baguette, but it is the house’s most iconic bag for a reason. The new season take adorns the classic silhouette with sequins and rhinestones, and we guarantee it will elicit compliments wherever you take it.

The fun for everyday bag

If you’re not one to shy away from bold colour and also need a spacious bag you can take on the run, try Ferragamo’s extra-large Hug Bag on for size. In a sunny yellow hue, it makes a spectacular addition to your summer wardrobe.
