Just as fresh supplies signaled the start of a new school year as a kid, so does a new handbag at the beginning of fall. From ladylike clutches to XL carryalls, there’s no shortage of options when it comes to handbags this season.

The styles I’m loving right now vary in size, shape, and color (see: Khaite’s newest clutch in pink), but there’s one thing they all have in common: minimalism. From Savette’s structured clutch to the The Row’s soft and roomy “Margaux” bag, the bags I’m eyeing are all unadorned, no-frill designs that are about as far from “it bag” as you can get.

Below, a shopping list with 14 investment-worthy handbags to buy now and carry forever.
