They were everywhere at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia and on the international streets in February, but now top handle bags are officially our favourite accessory. From snakeskin to croc-effect, there’s a top handle bag for just about every mood — big, little, medium… it’s all there. And while they might not be as convenient as their strappy sisters, the top handle will pack a punch in a different way. And no matter whether you’re after a statement making version or something subtle, the bi-annual Net-A-Porter sale has it. Back for another round, the sale has awash with top handle bags — in fact, they have their very own section. Below we round up our editor picks; beading, fringing and even timber included. Get shopping!

Francesca was previously the Senior Digital Fashion Editor at marie claire Australia. She can most likely be found eating a big bowl of fries (don’t forget the aioli!), watching something trashy on TV or spending all her money online shopping. She’s interviewed everyone from Nicole Kidman to Kendall Jenner but didn't get a single good photo.
