Carry On

Few items feel as personal as a handbag. Whether you’re looking for an everyday carrier that’ll serve as the foundation for your entire wardrobe, or something a bit more ephemeral and specific to the season, these are the best handbags to gift this year—especially if the recipient is you.

Zip it up. But make it fashion with Van Cleef & Arpels 18k white gold violet sapphire and diamond Zip Antique Couples Convertible necklace/bracelet. Originally created in the 1930s through a collaboration between Renée Puissant, the Maison’s visionary Creative Director, and the Duchess of Windsor, the innovative design transformed the everyday zipper into a work of art and now has found a home at YAFA, where it waits for you to discover it. 

How would you wear it? Around your neck or wrapped around your wrist?
