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.
