I’m always thrilled when a brand has stepped up its handbag game, and that’s why I’ve been keeping an eye on Bally since I saw the brand’s Fall 2015 lookbook months ago. The Swiss leather goods company has been around since 1851, and the addition of Pablo Coppola as design director in 2014 has made the line’s bags feel incredibly fresh.
Most of the bags available via Bally retail for less than $2,000 and are mercifully free of logos or look-at-me hardware, which makes many of them a perfect choice for women looking for a discreet-but-stylish work bag, as well as those among us who are simply tired of the popular bags of the moment from bigger design houses.
The leather on most of the bags looks wonderful, and the current collection includes everything from trendy saddle bags to workhorse totes. Check out some of our favorites below or shop the full selection via Bally.
