1. THE LITTLE WHITE BAG

You’ve heard of the Little Black Dress. Now meet the Little White Bag. It’s giving chic party style and adds a unique contrast to your after-dark looks. Bottega Veneta’s Mini Solstice bag is top of our party wish list this year. Expect the label’s iconic off-white Intrecciato leather and statement gold knots. If you can’t get enough of the white and gold hardware combo, Jacquemus and Prada have tapped both for their Le Rond Carre and Galleria mini bags respectively.

2. THE ICONIC SHOULDER BAG

Channel an It-girl this party season with must-have shoulder bags from Prada and Saint Laurent that’ll see you through party season and beyond. We’re talking classic styles that you could wear to anything – from a ritzy cocktail party to a dimly lit bar to the club. Expect high-fashion energy courtesy of monograms, gilded hardware and updated silhouettes. Prada’s Mini Saffiano is the must-have bag for ladylike party style this season. Come for the chain handle and dinky shoulder size; stay for the signature Saffiano leather and triangle logo. Into the cool French girl look? Saint Laurent’s Hobo bag is the ultimate combo of classic glam and Parisian chic. The YSL Cassandre logo says it all. Otherwise, tap Gucci, Bottega Veneta and Jacquemus for iconic bags you’ll wear and keep forever, long after you’ve left the dancefloor.

3. THE TEXTURED BAG

Velvet rope? Velvet bag, more like. These handbags were made for the VIP treatment. We live in a material world, and we want velvet, sequins, satin and faux fur this party season. We’re talking drama. Glamour. All-eyes-on-you. Tom Ford’s TF mini bag in deep violet velvet is peak party, non-stop glam all night long. Need more velvet in your life? Prada’s Re-Edition shoulder bag and Miu Miu’s Wander Matelassé Hobo bag also come in chic black velvet that’ll go with every party dress you own. These bags are a treat for all the senses. For an equally aesthetically pleasing bag experience, look for sequins at Prada, satin at Givenchy and beading at Valentino. Finally, Saint Laurent’s satin Bijoux Pochon, iconic gold rhinestone Stras Le 5 À 7 and faux fur Niki LD44 tick all the decadent textured boxes. We told you we were material girls.

4. THE GROWN-UP MINI BAG

One of our favourite Y2K trends to make a comeback, we’ve got mini bag mania. But this year the trend has grown up. Saint Laurent’s Sadie Mini Tote Bag is a sophisticated take on the mini designer It-bag. We’re talking plush quilted leather, a gold-tone YSL ‘Cassandre’ logo and a convertible chain strap. Small in size but big on impact. Every girl at the party will have serious bag envy when you walk in carrying it. If you want to party like it’s 1995, Prada’s Re-Edition 1995 Chaîne Re-Nylon mini bag is an after-dark ‘90s dream. For more grown-up party bag nostalgia, look to Marc Jacobs, Gucci and Diesel for sparkles, quilting and retro silhouettes. We’re here to party.

5. THE HIGH-SHINE BAG

This party season, we’ve taken a shine to patent. You might not be 17 anymore, but you’re still a dancing queen. And these bags match your disco potential. Be the ultimate party princess with a polished patent bag courtesy of Diesel, Miu Miu and Gucci. First on the party fashion agenda: Vivienne Westwood. The patent Hazel bag combines the label's signature punk attitude with a high-shine finish. The season’s must-have colour? Dark cherry red – a juicy shade perfect for late-night shenanigans. Cue Gucci’s patent Dionysus super mini and Saint Laurent’s Le 5 À 7 in the deep claret shade. The fash pack’s favourite hue will look perfect with an LBD or a matching tonal dress. The grown-up way to do gloss.
