Top-handle bags are having a moment, so we’ve rounded up the best of the bunch in this BHS Edit—and asked the legendary fashion editor Glenda Bailey to share which style she loves the most. “Trust Gabriela Hearst to bring her modern sensibility to the design of her latest sure-to-be collectible. Its distinctive shape is reminiscent of a wine carrier (perhaps why so many women love it?), while Hearst’s signature rose-gold hardware and marble-stone detail add to its elegance,” says Bailey. “But open the lid and a clever secret is revealed: Notes from “Beautiful Dreamer” by Stephen Foster serenade you. Don’t fret, a manually wound mechanism concealed underneath keeps you from going “Dreamer” crazy if you want to stop the music.” Read on to see which other styles have caught our eye.

Calling all artists: What does your Bal Harbour Shops dream look like?

The 7th annual Bal Harbour Shops Creative Challenge is officially underway. This year, we invite illustrators from around the world to explore The Art of Dreaming—reimagining Bal Harbour Shops as a place where fashion, dining, nature, art and culture collide, and the impossible feels beautifully possible.

In partnership with Fida Worldwide, one Grand Prize winner will receive $3,500, have their work published in the Winter 2026 issue of Bal Harbour Magazine, and be commissioned for an upcoming editorial illustration project. Three finalists will each receive $750 and be featured across our digital channels.

Ready to dream? Submit your original work by October 16 [link in bio] and share it on Instagram using #BHSCreativeDream.
