The pursuit of the perfect accessory is a constant quest enjoyed by fashionistas the world over.

It can be a bit overwhelming to pick a single bag (or two) that speaks to you from the numerous items adorning store windows and boutique racks, so here are some top celebrities’ choices to help you out.

Whether slung casually over the shoulder or clutched in the spotlight, these bags are designed not just to carry personal belongings, but are also meant to make a statement.

Keeping it classic

Close to home, the leading ladies of fashion and entertainment in Malaysia have been showcasing their unique styles at events, parties and on their own socials.

One can always count on style icon Fyza Kadir to bring it when it comes to fashion.

On social media, the actress recently struck a pose on an opulent staircase in snakeskin print boots, with a Fendi outfit and clutching the classic Fendi baguette.

The instantly recognisable design is one of the most popular bags out there, and Baguettes carry between 95% to 135% of their retail value on the resale market (according to Harper’s Bazaar), making it an item worth investing in.
