You've probably heard us wax poetic about designer Haley Boyd before—we've obsessed over her inspiring Instagram account and shared the latest launches from her L.A.-based shoe brand, Marais. Now, she's giving us something new to love: handbags. Marais just launched its first-ever bag designs, and we guarantee you'll love them as much as the brand's perfect shoes.

Like Marais's sandals and ankle boots, the new bags are made in Los Angeles under fair labor conditions. The sleek suede bucket bags come in two colors, and you can get coordinating slides, sandals, and ankle boots in the same perfect-for-fall hues.

"I love small, structured, top-handle bags," Boyd told Who What Wear when asked about the inspiration behind the design. "Over the past 15 or so years, bags have gotten really big—much larger than I think is necessary or functional to carry around all day. Our first bag is one of the larger styles we will be releasing over the coming year but is still petite and perfect for an everyday carryall." We'll take one of each, please.

Erin Fitzpatrick
Senior News Editor

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
