The wedding season continues, and with it the task of finding guest looks that best suit each event. The dresses or guest outfits depend on the circumstances surrounding the celebration, ranging from the weather conditions of that day to the type of ceremony you have been invited to. But if there is one element of those outfits on which you can invest without having to consider so many changing factors, those are the guest handbags.

Unlike the bags we might consider among the favorites for daily use, the accessories destined for these occasions stand out for being more special, original, and with elements that help elevate the image. Although choosing the perfect bag involves taking the rest of the look into account and seeking harmony and elegance in the result, it’s worth having some special pieces in the wardrobe staples to turn to whenever you need them or, why not, build a look around them.

Whether you are getting ready to attend a wedding soon or, simply, want to get a new guest bag for when the occasion arises, we bring you a selection of the most special guest bags worth keeping an eye on. From the simplest design that pairs with everything to the bag designed to become the focal point of the outfits, these are the bags that have it all to accompany you to your upcoming events.


ORIGAMI Sky Bag (€310)

Mimoki

The Spanish brand Mimoki features one of the most feminine and original designs you can have in your wardrobe. It is a folded bag in a metallic blue color that cannot be better suited for a nighttime wedding in any season, but it also lends itself to becoming part of a daytime look thanks to its timeless elegance.


Bolita Gold (€273)

Malababa

Among the most special proposals in this selection is another bag with a Spanish label, from the Malababa brand, which manages to fuse the essence of effortless chic that the best-dressed ones replicate so much, without neglecting the festive character these looks require. It is made of lambskin and features a ruched structure with a certain vintage vibe that promises to add many points to your ensemble.


Dagru Egg Bag Dark Blue (€69)

Acus

Those who prefer to take advantage of these opportunities to flaunt a jewel bag will be smitten by this Acus proposal. It is an egg-shaped bag with embedded beads so you shine with your own light at these special events. However, these bags are only made to order, as they are handcrafted in India, so this is one of those purchases worth planning ahead if you already have the date scheduled (or if you want to have it ready to wear when the moment presents itself).


Craquelé-effect party clutch (€25.99)

Parfois

On the opposite end, those who prefer to bet on simplicity and the less is more approach will find their dream party bag in this Parfois design. The special touch lies in its oval and curved shape, which fits perfectly with the brown color and the simple yet effective craquelé effect that makes this bag the perfect wildcard for any party look.


Mishka (€79.90)

Bluelow

From a few seasons now, sack-style bags have become a classic at these events, which is why Bluelow’s proposal has captivated us. Feminine and youthful, this burgundy piece with pleated fabric maintains sophistication and helps even the simplest looks look perfect for any type of wedding.


Bolso Plumas Lira Granate (€69.99)

Miphai

The most glamorous option is with Miphai: a feather bag in burgundy, a timeless design that always fits into party looks. Although its preferred context is evening weddings, you can also pair them with daytime outfits creating a color combination suitable for the occasion.
