Bored with your handbag collection? Let’s be real: Anyone can grow tired of the chicest baguette bag or sling bag if it’s the only one in the rotation. That’s why I, a fashion editor, always recommend keeping a great beaded bag on hand. As far as style goes, nothing compares. The accessory adds texture, personality, and interest to any ensemble, and there are options for every season and occasion—just ask Marissa Galante Frank, accessories, beauty, and fashion director at Bloomingdale’s. “Beaded bags are also timeless and become great vintage pieces in the years ahead,” she says. “I have beaded bags in my wardrobe that I’ve loved for years.”

Regarding what to look for while shopping, Galante Frank says color and quality should be at the top of your list. Beyond that, the pool of options is full of fun and whimsy. There are sequins, paillettes, crystals, pearls, and wooden or glass beads, just to name a few common materials. Ahead, find 15 of the best beaded bags to shop now—you’ll thank yourself later.
