The Best, Worst, and Craziest Street-Style Bags From Fashion Month

It’s a wrap for Paris Fashion Week, which means the Golden Peacocks are retiring from their biannual world tour. It also means it’s time to assess what we’ve learned by watching their behavior in the wild, starting with the best bags.
As expected, across all the cities, Gucci was the ‘It’ brand of the moment, but J.W. Anderson’s Pierce handbag was a close contender and an especially notable favorite in Paris. Other popular choices were Loewe’s kooky geometric bags and more vintage styles like the Dior saddle and archival Chanel.
While some people preferred to stick to the classics, dinosaurs and dogs also made unexpected cameos on the street-style circuit. Scroll through the slideshow to check out the best, worst, and all-around strangest bags from fall’s Fashion Month.

Most Realistic Fashion Week Bag While most street-style stars are toting around tiny bags, this woman shows the grim reality of schlepping around to show after show. Ten bucks says there's an extra pair of shoes, a laptop, and some snacks in there.
