So get this, you're the type of girl who parties in underground bars and rocks out to Joan Jett or Debbie Harry but also has expensive taste and loves the glitz n' glam of a luxurious lifestyle. How do your two worlds collide? Well, this is what fashion does - combine, collaborate, and clash different styles to produce an original and beautiful aesthetic. Here are some of Bagista's favourite bags to achieve the look you're after -
The Saint Laurent Baby Sac de Jour
Under the creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello, the classic Sac de Jour from Saint Laurent had a slight makeover. Saint Laurent has always been a brand famous for exuding edgy, rock n' roll vibes. The new and improved SDJ is crafted in Moroder leather, giving it an edgy shine it never had before. Featuring oxidized nickel hardware and logo tag, the combination of rustic silver and crinkled leather illustrates a modern edge while remaining sophisticated and classy. Wear this piece with your favourite distressed boyfriend jeans, Doc. Martins, vintage band tee, and leather jacket and you are more than good to go.

The Valentino Glam Lock
Under the creative direction of Pierpaolo Piccioli and Maria Grazia Chiuri (now creative director of Dior), Valentino presents this contemporary, understated bag from their iconic Glam Lock collection. Usually depicted with gold tone hardware, Valentino released this Glam Lock with gun-metal hardware. The off-black, shiny hardware against the jet black leather exudes modern femininity while contrasting the fashion forward, edgy features - especially the signature Valentino studs. Let's just say, if KISS were all girls, each of them would have this piece in their bag collections.

The Louis Vuitton Petite Malle
Under the creative direction of Nicolas Ghesquière, Louis Vuitton took the world by storm when the Petite Malle was introduced. With its boxy silhouette, striking gold tone hardware, iconic LV Monogram, and three red X's detailed on the bottom right corner, this bag perfectly exudes masculine femininity. The Petite Malle is the tiniest of trunks and technically the smallest in LV's luggage line. Unlike Louis Vuitton's other classic handbags, this mini bag is truly made for a rockstar, exuding modern edginess with its unique structure. Wear this bag with an oversized tee paired with a leather skirt and combat boots and suddenly, the world is your stage.

The J'Adior Flap
Under the creative direction of Maria Grazia Chiuri, modern edginess was introduced to Dior - a brand once known for it's delicate and dainty pieces. With shiny, crumpled leather, antique gold tone hardware, and outstanding logo, this bag emanates true edginess while remaining stylish and tasteful. Exuding an "I don't give an F" attitude with the in-your-face "J'ADIOR" logo prominently placed at the forefront, this bag displays the best kind of rock n' roll aesthetic. Dior is a leading brand in the fashion industry and will always remain true to its timelessly elegant roots, but now that Chiuri is calling the shots, we can't help but think this good girl may have gone a little bit bad.
