Saturday, October 27, 2012 • by Karla Mae

Fall is all about rustic appeal and layers of clothing may not be the best time to stack up on bangles and rings. Your best bet for accessories during the cold seasons is also practical– bags! And for extra oomph, we recommend the shiny, sparkly ones.

Designer boutique Ssense has the glitterati of handbags in plain sight. And being the sparkle-addicts that we are, our radars zoned in on the gorgeous purses immediately and we’re more than happy to share with you our top picks.

1) Jerome Dreyfuss Gold Snakeskin-printed Jojo Bag, $785

Faux snakeskin print gets extra classy in leather finished in an antique gold color. With its matching studs and chain strap, this bag  can go from rocker chic style to evening goddess.

2) Carven Round Floral Sequin Shoulder Bag, $660

A circular bag is already a step up from convention, but throw in a floral, sequin pattern and your got your self a bedazzled, hipster purse! Break new grounds with its gun metal tone hardware, and teal, gold, brown and orange sequins.

3) Lanvin Gold Python Skin Bag, $2435

It looks like the gold trend won’t be dying down soon, not with this scaled python skin bag in bright gold out in the market. This glimmering purse is a great investment item for its timeless and sophisticated design.

4) Givenchy Metallic Grey Sharkskin Effect Bag, $2085

From snakeskin print, we move on to the deep seas with this sharkskin effect bag by Givenchy! It features a metallic grey exterior made even more shinier with black patent leather trimmings and pale gold tone hardware.
