Charles & Keith Charlot Hobo Bag 

The Charlot Hobo Bag embodies Julia Roberts’ laid-back yet elegant style from Notting Hill as she strolls through London, giving us a look that is both casual and iconic. The Charlot Hobo Bag is a quintessential winter bag for the modern minimalist. Its sleek black calf PU finish gives it that understated elegance, which complements any neutral winter palette, while the slouchy silhouette adds an effortless street-chic vibe. Pair it with a monochrome look—like an oversized grey sweater and wool trousers, finishing off with chunky gold jewellery to complement the gold hardware. 

Michael Kors Jordi Small Leather Tote in Slate 

The Jordi tote is ideal for a chic, on-the-go look. Its rich, cool-toned colour provides a lovely contrast to wintery whites and cream palettes. Style it with a tailored wool coat in camel or grey, layered over a turtleneck dress and knee-high boots, and you could easily look like a scene out of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. You could pair the bag with almost any outfit, be it a formal work look or a weekend trip, transitioning effortlessly from day to night.

Coach Brooklyn Shoulder Bag, ₹25,000

Remember Clueless and Cher's effortlessly polished Beverly Hills style, with her designer-filled wardrobe and perfectly curated life? This bag channels that same chic vibe, blending sophistication with street-smart flair, just like Cher's iconic plaid skirts and cropped jackets. The structured silhouette of the Coach Brooklyn Shoulder Bag brings a polished look with a subtle edge—its refined lines and hardware make it a standout for any wardrobe. Think of it as your personal style upgrade, perfect for pairing with a tailored blazer or an oversized sweater for a modern twist.

Da Milano Small Canvas Wax Leather Shoulder Bag - Chocolate 

This bag exudes an earthy, tactile richness that takes us back to the days of Casablanca (1942), where understated elegance was key. Its sturdy, structured shape contrasts beautifully with the rugged canvas, making it a must-have for winter excursions. Style this bag with a wool shacket (shirt-jacket) in a matching chocolate hue and ankle boots for a practical yet elevated look. The bag feels equally at home, be it a coffee date in the city or a mountain weekend getaway. 

Tod's Double Up Shopping Bag in Leather and Canvas - Brown & Off-White 

Inspired by The Devil Wears Prada’s timeless winter styles, this brown-and-off-white bag is an ideal choice for those who want a bit of winter white in their wardrobe. Its canvas-and-leather combo gives it a sophisticated edge, balancing deep winter tones with a lighter touch. Pair it with your favourite jeans and a dark, fitted turtleneck for an “it-girl” vibe—it’s the perfect blend of luxury and practicality for those who love a hint of contrast.
