This Season's It Bags You Should Definitely Have
This time last year, everybody was going crazy over square bags such as Gucci's Sylvie and Fendi's Dotcom. Circle bags, such as the one from Mansur Gavriel, were also quite popular.

The Louis Vuitton Palm Springs Backpack Mini is another in demand bag. In fact, it is difficult to find. At the LV stores in Singapore, there was a waiting list for it at one time. The backpack can also be carried cross-body.
