5 TIMELESS Bags You Need in Your Collection
When it comes to fashion, a classic handbag can elevate any outfit and become a staple in your wardrobe for years to come. It’s the ultimate accessory that tells the world who you are without saying a word. Many bags are for a moment, ‘it’ bags we commonly know them as.
However, I prefer bags which stand the test of time.
Through their high-quality craftsmanship and refined design, these 5 timeless bags are sure to stay by your side for years to come.
1. Numero Neuf by Polene
The rise in popularity of Polene is nothing short of amazing. When my sister first introduced me to the brand, there was only a very small amount of people talking about their designs and impressive quality so I’m not surprised once their name reached TikTok sales soared.
Surprisingly enough, it’s the Numero Neuf that caught my eye the most.
I use the word "surprisingly" because my favourite style of bag is usually quite structured, but the Numero Neuf combines modern design with classic elegance.
The quality of leather makes it a standout piece that can be dressed up or down. Whether you’re heading to a business meeting or a girly brunch, the Numero Neuf adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit.
I would personally wear this to add a feminine touch to a casual outfit such as a classic white tee with a well-fitted pair of light acid-wash jeans.
2. The New York by Demeillier
Every boss girl needs a boss bag, and the answer lies in The New York from Demeillier.
The perfect blend of functionality and style, this structured bag features multiple compartments to store handbag essentials such as house keys and credit cards, and has enough space to keep your iPad and a few notebooks safe.
This makes the New York the ideal bag for any businesswoman on the go.
I would wear this to business meetings or on days the weather looks a little shifty and I need to carry an extra few layers of clothes.
The Tan is so gorgeous but I also really love the Canvas for summer.

3. Stance by Cafune
If you appreciate minimalist design and clean-cut lines, the Stance by Cafune is a must-have.
The understated elegance makes it a versatile and yet transformational piece complimenting any and every outfit.
Its structure ensures this beautiful bag remains a cherished part of your wardrobe for years to come.
4. Mini Crescent by Strathberry
I almost flipped a coin because I couldn’t decide between featuring the Strathberry Tote and the Mini Crescent bag.
But I thought let’s add a mini in here because timeless bags can come in many different sizes.
What I love most about the Mini Crescent is the signature closure bar giving the bag the ability to ride the timeless and glamourous train in such a sophisticated, elegant way.
I’m not a fan of taking day bags to evening events and I would never normally suggest you take structured, functional bags to an upscale restaurant or formal event but depending on your outfit and the occasion, it might just work.
If you are going to an evening event, swap the leather strap for the chain to elevate your look.

5. T Timeless Shopping Bag by Tod's
I couldn’t do a post on timeless bags and not include one of the most timeless luxury brands of our time.
The T Timeless Shopping Bag at Tod's is exactly what its name suggests – a piece that transcends come ‘n’ go trends.
This bag’s elegant design and luxurious craftsmanship scream old money and exude sophistication and style.
Even if you’re week only consists of running errands around town, the T Timeless will a touch of class and refinement to any outfit.
It does require more of a splurge on price, but with a bag which lasts a lifetime, it’s surely worth it.
