So for a subtle fashionista who values timeless design over flashy logos, we have lined up the best handbag options for you. Here are 15 styles that are elevated in their simplicity and are sure to impress.
The Row Sofia Bag
Of course, we start off with a bag from The Row but we must say, they do make the best pieces for this motive. They have the best quality and their design always has a structural twist that makes the simplicity of the bag have underlining interesting features. The Sofia bag from them is as sleek and chic as it comes.
Bottega Veneta Arco Tote Bag
The Bottega Veneta Arco Tote bag has a distinctive pattern featuring large square details that overlap, setting it apart from the brand’s usual small weave pattern. This detail may appear straightforward, but it adds an extra touch of interest that distinguishes it from most totes available today.
Khaite Bridget Crossbody Bag
This is a stunning timeless crossbody bag from Khaite, that can also be turned into a clutch and is the perfect bag for all events. Run errands with it in the daytime hands-free slung across you or take the strap in and use it on a night out bundled up in your arms.
Savette Symmetry Pochette
This bag is definitely on the rise and would be a smart investment for anyone who can secure it now. Savette’s Symmetry Pochette is also well-priced for collectors at the moment.
Celine Box Bag
The Box bag has been discontinued by Celine but is still loved by fashion enthusiasts and booming on the second-hand market.
Fendi Peekaboo Bag
If you’re someone who values organization and style in your everyday accessories, look no further than Fendi’s Peekaboo bag. With many compartments of varying sizes to accommodate all of your essentials, the perfect accessory to keep you coordinated and on-trend. (It has Fendi engraved on the turn lock but it’s pretty discreet).
Toteme Belt Hobo Bag
Toteme is renowned for its luxurious, yet quiet items. The Belt Hobo Bag is no exception, exuding exceptional craftsmanship and high-quality leather.
Gucci Horsebit 1955 Bag
The Gucci Horsebit 1955 bag features Gucci’s iconic Horsebit emblem but it’s not their logo. It’s more lowkey, treasured amongst luxury lovers, and enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of this bag.
Gucci Jackie Bag
Another no-logo bag from Gucci is the Jackie renamed after style legend Jackie Kennedy because she bought the bags in multiple shades and was rarely seen without it. A tribute to its wearability and timeless design.
Bottega Veneta Hop
This bag is effortless and also refined, living in between casual and polished. With ample space, it elevates even the most mundane errands, making you feel more stylish and put-together in your daily routine.
YSL Manhattan Bag
The Manhattan gives off a cool carefree energy, that can change the way you look, feel, and walk with it. It does have Saint Laurent unnoticeably imprinted in the middle hardware catch with tiny writing, it’s almost unreadable and extremely subtle.
Alaïa Mina Bag
Alaia’s Mina Bag features the signature “Vienne” motif pattern, which gives it lots of character. It’s refreshing to see a bag without a logo that still has a beautiful pattern that catches the eye of both users and admirers. Additionally, the bag is see-through, but not like the usual plastic material in these types, where everything is visible. The holes are small, and there is a lot of leather fabric covering, providing decent coverage that strikes a good balance between privacy and visibility.
The Row Idaho Bag
Remember what we previously said about The Row, ‘always a structural twist’. I bet you’ve seen something like this classic tote before but not in the size and width that this is presented with. That’s why they are the leading brand in this category, the simplicity, and quality are different from what you’ve ever seen before.
St. Agni Bon Bon Bag
As scrumptious as it sounds, The St. Agni ‘Bon Bon’ bag is a great alternative to the Khaite Olivia Hobo Bag and is in a much more affordable price range.
Bottega Veneta Sardine Bag
Bottega is one of the recurring themes throughout this, if you are looking for bags with no logos but still a lot of character their Intrecciato weave will do all the talking. This one, in particular, is here to make a statement with the incredible metallic sardine handle that they make custom carved uniquely so every bag is one of a kind.
