If It bags could talk, they would have filed a restraining order against NYFW tent-goers ages ago — it’s calledbag stalking, and we’ve all been guilty of it (sorry, we’re not sorry). But can you blame us? A handbag can make or break an outfit, so it’s really no wonder we find ourselves constantly searching the stores (and each other’s arms) for the best new carryalls. 

Fashion Week is undoubtedly the best time to keep our eyes wide open. With all the totes, clutches, messengers, and more, there is an infinite number of carriers to covet. To help you ooh and aww more comprehensively, we’ve compiled the best of the best. So, welcome to the it’s-not-creepy-it’s-fashion art of handbag stalking — let the games begin.
