Why fuss with a clunky, hard-edged box bag when you can clutch something soft instead? A velvet, silk, or embellished pouch is the “I woke up like this” of holiday accessories—super-chic, yet low-key. Slide Attico’s feathered jacquard pouch or Ming Ray’s crystal sac on your wrist for a night on the town, or go with Alexander Wang’s tongue-in-cheek credit card bag, which is made for your inner party girl. Bienen-Davis’s frame bag would come in handy (pun intended!) for the frequent gala guest, while Hayward’s jacquard bag feels like an upgraded version of your everyday tote.
A fancy pouch is more versatile than you think, too. Ganni’s beaded polka-dot bag would pair just as well with a slinky cocktail dress or vintage jeans, ditto Hunting Season’s tasseled cross-body. We found 18 of the season’s best pouches below—all dressed up, and with so many places to go.
