Kate Spade bags are so adorable and functional that every woman should have a few. This flap hobo is a perfect daily bag. Just throw your life into it and carry all away in style. This baby is currently on sale at Nordstrom.com, down from SGD514 to only SGD342 (before shipping) and is available in black, off-white, French grey and this signature cherry pink. Get it in this color or one in each color. What the hell.

A nice bag does not have to be pricey. With players like Michael Michael Kors and DKNY around, that statement could be more of a truth than a myth. This bag has a classic touch with an on-trend appeal so it is worth putting your money into. Price is GBP290 at net-a-porter.com.

We have not seen anything exciting from Olivia Harris for a while until this satchel came into picture. Made entirely of Italian leather, the Jackie satchel, which is named after Ms Jackie O, is the embodiment of glamorous and youth in the classiest and most understated way possible. I like this bag, especially with its USD395 price tag, which is the reason why everyone should go gaga over OH.

I saw this tote on display in the Marina Bay Sands last month and it has been haunting me ever since. Then again, what is there not to like really? The whole bag, including the detachable shoulder strap and the additional zip pouch inside is made of washed calfskin. The design of the bag is simplistic yet handsome and very classy, making it somewhat anti-trendy too. Best of all, for such a bag, Fendi is just charging USD950! I can’t believe my eyes when I saw the price and on bluefly.com, there is even further 20% off, making it only USD760! I am no longer in a market for a new bag now but if I were, this would have been the first to go with.

I still can’t get enough of Reed Krakoff bags. Everything out from this brand looks and feels so luxurious, classic and understated. The year-end sale is always worth checking and boy, this beautiful classic tote is now down from USD1,190 to USD714, which is just around the price of a good full leather Coach bag.

I know an must-grab deal when I see one. This dark green YSL Muse in large size is one of the best deals you could possibly get from this sale season. I am shocked this was not snatched up and had to go on sale. What can SGD1,400 get from YSL nowadays? Get it from Saks now!

Ferragamo bags mostly failed to excite me last season so we did not see many being featured but this clutch is a meeting point between classic elegance and Bohemian style. Measuring at 40cmx21cmx13cm and made entirely in Italy of soft calfskin, the bag is a not-to-be-missed deal at GBP329 (50% off from GBP659). The clutch is available in 3 colours – Plum (featured), Green and Biscuit. Rush to your nearest Ferragamo store or shop online here!

I always thought of the house brand of Barneys, Barneys New York, as overpriced but at more than half off, this bag is just a must-have. This bowler is a large bag, made in Italy, full leather and simply exquisite. If you want a well made bag not associated with any designer yet still whispers class and quality, get this from Barneys for USD300.83, down from USD750. The size is big at 13″x 19.25″ x 5″ with 8.5″ handle drop. Available in color Sabbia.

An oversized clutch is a perfect accessory for an evening event if you want to make a statement but at 19″ long and 16″ tall, I am not sure everyone could pull this clutch off. It is still a beautiful understated and potentially a classic piece from Nina Ricci. Available at Barneys down from USD1,1,25 to USD454.93, making this clutch such a steal!
