It's a bird, it's a plane—no, it's just a really, really good bag that costs $34.99 but looks more like it's in the $350-and-up category. It's true! Thanks to features that include a croc-embossed exterior and sleek top handle, I'm pretty obsessed with our latest Who What Wear collection fall bag and I have a feeling you (and all my friends) will be, too. It's the perfect size for wearing from day to night while holding all the essentials, and, much like it's footwear counterpart, it instantly adds an element of luxe to any outfit. 

That's why it's no surprise that despite launching just this month, the bag has already been spotted a handful of times on Instagram, and I can only imagine it's going to get even more popular. My only suggestion? Get it (and post about it) before it's gone. See for yourself how polished it looks below and then, of course, shop it and more affordable bags from our fall line.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
