Ben’s Bag Edit: 8 Designer bags to flaunt this Christmas

The countdown to Christmas is officially on! If your holiday wardrobe isn’t quite ready, I’ve got the perfect accessory picks for you. This round, it’s all about bags that make a statement, whether through bold colour, rich textures, or both. These pieces are sure to turn heads and elevate your festive outfits. Keep reading to discover eight of my favourite bags this month.  

 

Chanel Evening bag   

“I’m sure you’re familiar with the classic flap bags by Chanel, but have you seen the sparkling version? This Evening bag, with its strass detailing and silver-tone metal, is a gorgeous upgrade! It’s the kind of bag that’s made for special occasions, from reunion dinners to year-end parties. When paired with an outfit in lighter shades, it creates the perfect contrast, adding a refined touch of glamour and sophistication.”

Jacquemus Rond Carré 

“If you’ve been keeping up with Jacquemus, you’ve probably seen the incredible show in Capri last summer. I’m in love with the entire collection, especially the Rond Carré. The gold-plated sphere and cube charm pair beautifully with its rich dark red silhouette. And the fact that it works as both a shoulder bag and a clutch? That’s a winning combination!”

Stella McCartney Stella Ryder shoulder bag 

“When fashion and sustainability collide, you get something as stunning as a Stella Ryder bag. Made from recycled and grape-based alternatives to leather, it’s an eco-friendly choice that doesn’t compromise on style. Additionally, what draws me in is its horse-inspired shape and spacious interior—a flawless blend of elegance and functionality.

Dior Lady Dior My ABCDior bag 

“It’s no secret that Dior makes beautiful bags, and if I had to choose one for the season, it would be this blush-hued Lady Dior. The soft shade brings a graceful, feminine touch to the structured silhouette. I also love the idea of personalising the shoulder strap with badges—a simple detail that makes all the difference.”

Rabanne 

Rabanne is the first brand that comes to mind whenever I think about holiday parties, especially with those iconic metallic studded dresses. What excites me even more is how that same aesthetic translates into its bags. The black Paco clutch is a perfect example—its distinct shape and contrasting rings instantly grab attention. Another thing that wins me over is its versatility. It’s not just a nighttime accessory—it can easily carry you through the day as well.”

Jimmy Choo Bon Bon 

“The Bon Bon by Jimmy Choo speaks for itself! Adorned with silver satin crystal mesh and finished with a sparkling crystal top handle and a sleek drawstring chain, it’s the ultimate party bag. With its bucket design, you’ll have enough room for everything you need.”

Delvaux Caprice Toy 

“If you’re looking for a bag that’s fun and sophisticated, I highly recommend the Delvaux Caprice Toy. I had the chance to see it up close a few months ago and I was impressed by its sculptural design. There’s a nostalgic charm to it that makes it both intriguing and a great conversation starter. To top it off, it comes with an adjustable and removable shoulder strap, making it as versatile as your plans for the night.”

Self-Portrait Burgundy leather curved mini bag 

“It’s hard to resist a bold red bag, and the burgundy curved mini bag by Self-Portrait is hitting all the right notes. The deep hue is perfect for the season, and that bow detail? Too cute! Plus, the front pocket makes it super convenient for quick access to your essentials.”
