I got bored and lined up my designer bags and took a picture of my collection. Which now has me wondering, what should be the next item in my collection?

I am a crossbody person, I prefer to be care free when I am out which is why my collection mainly consists of smaller crossbody bags. My job is at a chemical plant so i don't like to take designer to work which is another reason why I don't have bigger bags. I do travel about once a month so i have considered getting a bag for that but I am still debating. What would you recommend or believe is missing from my collection?

What i have been considering:
- Small Lady Dior possibly beige or grey
- Dior 30 Montaigne in the blueish color or pale pink
- YSL Medium Sunset Embossed Croc in the dark red/burgundy
- YSL Sac Du Jour Nano in a deep blue color
- Celine Nano belt bag in grey
- Super hard to find Chanel vintage Diana bag in beige

For work/travel:
- LV Damier Neverfull MM (I’m short but debating for the larger one for travel?)
- LV Surene MM in the camel/brown color

Open to other suggestions!!

Thankss! My thought when I googled the bag “ooohh pretty” lol considering my last purchase was the LV pochette metis and I have been loving it, this one seems like a good fit! It looks similar in shape and pretty neutral so it’ll go with plenty of things. Funny enough I was actually thinking the other day about getting the pochette metis in a more neutral color but thought it might be silly to get the same bag again but this is a great suggestion, thanks so much!

You have a lovely collection, but with the exception of the Celine, every one is a rectangular crossbody. I suggest something larger and unstructured, for a more relaxed, casual look. Proenza Schouler and The Row come to mind, but I know that there are many others that aren't coming to mind at the moment.

Thanks, yeah I have a type lol I don't carry that many things with me so I always go for smaller crossbody bags. I am also short so I tend to go for bags that wont look too big on me. I’ll take a look at your suggestions, thanks!

Most of your bags are square-ish/rectangular, and most are fairly structured. I don't know if maybe you don't like slouchy bags (though the Givenchy is fairly slouchy), but if you have nothing against some slouch, I would recommend perhaps a Balenciaga mini city or Stella Falabella crossbody in a fun color (most of yours are neutral or red). So maybe in a green or blue shade?

Or if lots of slouch isn't your thing, perhaps something with a different shape like a bucket bag (ex Fendi Mon Tresor) or a saddle bag (ex Chloe Marcie Saddlebag or the Chloe Tess bag, Tom Ford Jennifer bag). For a bit of a flashier saddlebag, look at the Valentino saddlebags with the studding.

I want to add:
You can't go wrong with Proenza Schouler PS1 bag! That thing is a classic. I have the large one for 7 years now and the leather held up pretty well still looks new, very durable! It's like a briefcase messenger type of bag. If you go the pre-loved route, they are much affordable now!
Another suggestion would be Mansur Gavriel, their leather is exceptional! Next:
Strathberry-starting to garner worldwide reputation for their leathers.
Loewe puzzle bag is a lovely bag that I want to recommend to you too. It's gorgeous. Buy the black one-it's classic.
Lastly, Celine Sangle bag! work tote profesh!
