Calling all fashion enthusiasts: top-handle bags have been declared a
handbag trend this summer. Celebrities and street style stars are incorporating the polished accessories into their
warm-weather 'fits , from posh ensembles like
polo shirts ,
pleated skirts , and
Mary Janes to
summer dresses and the
latest sneakers .
Fortunately, no two top handles are the same. The style ranges from sophisticated pillowy satchels to leather bucket bags to bejeweled
mini purses . The best part is that some top-handle bags come with a detachable chain or leather strap that you can also fashion into a functional
crossbody .
If you haven't dipped your toes into the world of top-handle bags, we've got you covered. Our trendy list includes standouts from brands like Freja (seen on the arms of Hailey Bieber and
Katie Holmes ) and JW Pei (Gigi Hadid), as well as investment-worthy classics from the likes of Bottega Veneta. Browse the best top-handle bags ahead, and walk through summer on a trendy beat.
