The new crop of fall bags is a sumptuous parade of rich jewel tones, from Alexander Wang’s lush, matte emerald to Lanvin’s decorated sapphire, from Jason Wu’s gleaming garnet to Marc Jacob’s quilted topaz, and finally Judith Leiber’s bedazzled clutch, bursting with actual stones of amethyst, adventurine, sodalite, and Austrian crystals.
The styles cover as wide a range as the palette. Wang’s “Trudy” tote, trimmed in sporty silver zippers, is an urban take on the jewel tone, while Lanvin’s “Pop” bag is as feminine as you’ll ever find: ornate quilting on rich satin with a grosgrain ribbon-decked chain-strap. If Lanvin’s bag is fit for a princess, then Leiber’s high-end clutch is fit for a queen – a beautifully constructed piece of portable art. Jason Wu’s “Miss Wu” tote and Marc Jacob’s “Baroque Single” bag in classical styles are equally practical – both soft, shiny Bordeaux and gold-toned camel are fall neutrals to be worn with almost anything.

Then you must have it
