Need ideas! Beautiful but simple shoulder bag options?

[Sparkletastic]

Please help me find the perfect replacements for two of my bags.

I need shoulder / crossbody bags that can transition from work to cocktails. The key is that the branding has to be non existent or very low profile because I use these for work and other situations where showcasing a high end brand on a bag would be inappropriate. That being said, the bags shouldn’t just be a plain design. I’d like them to have some personality.

These are the two bags I want to replace : Proenza Schouler Small Couriers in black and silver. These are really great bags. I just don’t adore them. I do love that they have the dual toned hardware and that the branding is in teeny print on the side of the bag.

Obviously, these are different colors of the same model but, that isn’t a requirement. Any two bags that meet my criteria will do - same model or no.

My requirements:
• $2500 or under (the less expensive the better. Lol!)
• Premier brand
• Medium size
• One in black, one in a more festive color
• Shoulder bag (crossbody a plus)
• Silver, black, gunmetal or dual toned hardware. Not only yellow ghw.
• Classic styling with a modern feminine twist. Not utilitarian.

Thanks in advance for your help!!!

What about a mulberry lily?

The Diorama Ultra Black Clutch could be a tasty option.

I think the Diorama or Longchamp Amazone would be really nice. Amazone comes in several sizes, leathers and there is also some really nice prints.

Or the Mulberry Darley, Sparkle. Does have GHW but otherwise a good option in line with your requirements, I think.

Or look at YSL. Great range of party clutches (no one parties like YSL ) I’ve had this one on my lust list for ages...
