WHAT’S IN THE EDITOR’S BAG
At Couteur, style isn’t seasonal — it’s personal. And when you’re living life on the go, hopping from gallery previews to meetings, airport gates to rooftop catch-ups, your bag becomes more than an accessory. It’s a curated survival kit for the fashion-forward and unapologetically bold.
In this edition of "What’s In the Editor’s Bag," we’re unzipping the curated chaos of our editor-in-chief’s day-to-day clutch — a mix of 1980s vintage classics, beauty essentials, and modern street-luxury pieces with an eye for statement texture and character.
The Bag: 1980s Vintage Gucci Clutch
Understated? Never. This vintage Gucci clutch from the 1980s brings serious icon energy. The timeless GG monogram canvas and the signature green-red-green stripe make this piece a forever favorite — especially paired with this season’s oversized outerwear or a relaxed linen set. With just enough room to hold the essentials, it's heritage luxury meets editorial practicality.
Gucci Oversized Sunglasses
Because one does not simply squint. These Gucci oversized frames in classic black with embossed logos make a strong case for blocking out both the sun and unwanted energy. Instant confidence, maximum coverage, and a subtle wink to old-Hollywood glam.
Statement Piece: Leopard Print Scarf
No editor's bag is complete without a scarf that can do everything. This leopard print square isn't just a neck accent — it's a belt, a head wrap, a handbag tie, or a wrap for a spontaneous espresso-on-the-sidewalk moment. It’s the kind of piece that says, “I planned this,” even when you didn’t.
Kate Spade Tortoise Shell iPhone + AirPods Case
The subtle richness of tortoise shell gives major vintage energy with modern function. From Kate Spade’s lineup, these matching cases are more than accessories — they're extensions of the look. Bonus points for the clip-on feature, perfect for bags without internal tech compartments.
Balenciaga Reusable Coffee Cup
Functional fashion is always in. Whether it’s an iced oat milk matcha or a triple espresso, this Balenciaga-branded to-go cup turns coffee runs into runway moments. Reusable, blacked-out, and logo-heavy — it’s giving fashion caffeine with a purpose.
Golf Le Fleur Nail Polish
A nod to Tyler, The Creator’s whimsical world, this nail lacquer is a mini moodboard in a bottle. Inky black with a ceramic ghost topper, it’s both an accessory and a conversation starter — rebellious and oddly charming.
Statement Rings: Vintage + Cool
No editor travels light when it comes to rings. The lineup here features chunky vintage pieces and an archived Lanvin “COOL” ring — a literal and figurative exclamation mark to every fit. Black stones, textured bands, and oversized gold always deliver the drama.
Beauty On-the-Go:
Iconic London Glow Highlighter – The rollerball wand that brings dewy radiance mid-zoom call or post-flight touch-up.
Lip + Cheek Tint Combo – One swipe = double duty. A crimson flush and soft pout, minus the mirror drama.
THE7 Lychee Travel Perfume – Sweet, unexpected, and fresh. A scent that reads as “I vacation frequently” — even when you don’t.
Balenciaga Oversized Hair Clips
Utility has never been so editorial. These matte black, oversized Balenciaga clips do more than hold a sleek bun — they are the look. Slipped onto a blazer pocket or clipped to a bag strap, they’re the new version of "just in case."
Think editorial edge meets tactile storytelling. This bag doesn’t just carry things — it carries identity, intention, and the confidence of someone who knows the power of curated chaos. Because when your bag holds statement rings, leopard prints, and a full glow kit — the world is your front row seat.
