The Handbag Line You Need to Know: Vasic New York

One of my favorite things about the fashion world is discovering new designers and brands.  While we all have our go-to favorites and longstanding brands we trust, mixing it up with fresh talent is imperative.  It’s the very essence of what the fashion world sets out to do – keep up with the times.

Vasic New York is a handbag line focused on creating “the standard handbag” – a bag that can be used every day for every occasion.  When I saw their clean silhouettes, inventive fabrics and fall/winter color palette, I immediately knew this was a line that would become a staple in my wardrobe.  When just about every woman is carrying the same handbag, it’s so refreshing to carry something unique.

My suede, emerald bucket bag can be worn multiple ways: as a crossbody, satchel or looped over the shoulder and contains a two-toned removable clutch on the inside for when you want to pair down for evening.  Any bag that has a two-in-one feature is a major win in my book.  For something a little funkier, I love this faux fur bucket bag that pairs a classic silhouette with chic fabric.  Still practical enough for everyday, but with an added wow factor for fall.

I recently took a trip home to visit family and carried this bag with me on the plane.  It was the perfect size for traveling – not too heavy, but with enough room for more than just my phone and wallet.  The removable clutch definitely came in handy for easily being able to access my lip balm, hand lotion and ID when I needed them quickly.  I seriously can’t get over the color – although red is dominating as “the color” for fall, I’m seeing more and more emerald used in accent pieces and accessories.  For someone who wears mostly neutrals, it’s the perfect accent color that blends seamlessly into my existing wardrobe.
