More than 60 percent of bags in my collection are black. Ugh, I know what you’re probably thinking… but I just can’t help it. Whenever I’m on the hunt for a new style, I tend to default to the color black. It’s reliable (matches with almost everything!), durable (see ya never, color transfer), and chic.
This season, we have a handful of new black bags on our radar – beyond the basics from fashion houses like Chanel and Prada. In fact, many of these new bags aren’t even considered “black.” They’ve been named “noir,” which is a fancy way of saying “dark.”
So, as we enter cooler months, here’s a slew of new, noteworthy, and innovative black, or shall I say “noir,” bags. Which one would you choose?
Nanushka Lynne Leather Mini Tote Bag ($560)
Loeffler Randall Zelda Ostrich Feather Clutch Bag ($350)
Proenza Schouler Buckle Trapeze Grainy Shoulder Bag ($1,595)
THE ROW Bindle Two Napa Leather Hobo Bag ($1,590)
TOM FORD T-Clasp Shiny Leather Shoulder Bag ($2,650)
Staud Satin Pearly Grace Top Handle Bag ($275)
Balenciaga Hour XS Shiny Box Calf Top-Handle Bag ($1,250)
Givenchy Eden Smooth Crossbody Pouch Bag ($990)
The Volon Mani Leather Bucket Bag ($940)
Oscar de la Renta O Chain Leather Wallet Crossbody Bag ($890)
Noir is French for black. Handbag design houses have used this term widely for years and in many countries.
Thank you. I cringed when I read that part….

I still don’t like black handbags. But, the hardware on the Oscar de la Renta is cool.
