I Keep Seeing This £240 Bag in All the New York Street Style Pictures

The street style at fashion week can often look like a parade of the most expensive handbags in the world, as you'll spot Bottegas, Pradas, and Chanels looped on the arms of showgoers. However, over the past few years, there has been an emergence of mid-priced designer handbag brands that create beautiful and unusual designs for under £500. Every season there is another label or style added to our list of the best £300 bags—and just a few days into New York Fashion Week, a new hero It bag has quickly appeared. Cult brand Staud became a fashion week favourite thanks to its minimal bucket bags, and this season, it has a new buzzy shape: the Moon Tote. This spherical bag comes in rich autumn shades, such as burgundy and tan, along with a snake-effect finish. We particularly love how street stylers paired this with autumnal checks and utility jumpsuits.
Keep scrolling to meet the latest It bag to emerge from the streets of New York.
