5 Perfect Bags to Gift for a Birthday

Introduction

Birthdays are an interesting event, and each woman experiences them differently. The years fly by, and some would rather disappear as that dreaded date cruelly reminds us we’re not getting any younger. Others can’t contain their joy at the thought of having a whole day to be the center of attention among friends and family, enjoying a moment where they feel just a little more special. However, no matter the woman celebrating, choosing the perfect gift can make all the difference between an average birthday and a... stellar one!

Why a handbag?

Surely, you’re asking: of all possible gifts, why choose a handbag?
The answer is quite simple: of all the most desired items by women, a handbag is not only the most glamorous, but also the most useful. It went from being an object used by servants to a symbol of women’s emancipation and independence after World War I.
In short, if you pick the right bag, you’re bound to make an impression! So sit back, and keep reading to find out which accessory might be the perfect choice for that special person!

1) The Clutch

Stylish and elegant, the clutch is a go-to for those with weekend plans packed with outings with friends. For the more social types, here’s a gift idea that will leave them speechless!

The lilac Versace Couture Jeans clutch is a true attention-grabber! Anyone who loves to go out and be the center of attention will adore it!

The mini clutch designed by Ermanno Scervino is also a fabulous gift. Its glamorous yet bold lines, oversized chain—a major trend these days—and signature quilted effect make it a super fashionable and chic accessory.

If you’re looking for something a bit more relaxed and less formal, why not consider the New Lisbon camera bag by Trussardi? With its classic and understated lines, this bag features both a handle and a removable, adjustable shoulder strap. The textured finish adds a touch of exclusive class.

2) The Tote Bag

A tote bag is an essential piece every woman should have in her wardrobe. Practical and available in various sizes, it can become a woman’s best friend.

The Superman tote bag by Mario Valentino boasts simple, concise lines.

Another striking model is the new Ivy tote bag by Trussardi. This large trapeze-shaped bag has a unique closure, with a strap that slips into its own pocket. The interior is, of course, finished with pockets, and the handles are short, as befits a classic tote.

If you prefer to gift something more understated in style, we highly recommend the small Mirella tote by Ermanno Scervino. This fantastic little bag is truly practical and versatile, with multiple pockets both inside and outside. The shoulder strap is adorned with studs, creating a mosaic featuring the brand name.

3) The Shopping Bag

A shopper is a blessing for the busy working woman who is always on the go but loves to have everything at hand—with just the right touch of elegance.

The New Lisbon shopper by Trussardi is the perfect blend of elegance and practicality, making it a useful and well-targeted gift.

For those who love to turn heads, there’s the Giovanna shopper by Ermanno Scervino, redesigned and created for those who love to be the center of attention. If studs aren’t quite their thing, you can opt for the cleaner version.

- If you’re looking for a versatile shopper that can serve multiple purposes, check out the Divina shopper. A continuously popular item, this structured and sturdy bag is well-designed, with a divider and various pockets to store personal items.

4) The Shoulder Bag

A shoulder bag is a must-have for every woman, offering both the convenience of a shoulder strap and plenty of space—you simply can’t go wrong with this choice.

We recommend this red Ruhbarb half-moon shoulder bag from Gherardini. Minimalist and timeless, it’s a sober choice—ideal for those who prefer subtlety but still value quality and comfort.

Pollini, known for its shoulder bags, also offers several models. However, we particularly recommend the nylon shoulder bag. Spacious, lightweight, and versatile, with countless pockets, it’s perfect for those who love “everyday” bags.

For a more minimalist and simple style, the Trussardi hobo shoulder bag is the ideal choice. With clean, simple lines, a removable inner pouch, and adjustable handle, it’s a perfect fit.

5) The Backpack

For the adventurous woman who’s always on the move, a backpack can be a lifesaver. Spacious and comfortable, it allows for running around while maintaining style.

This Pollini monogrammed backpack is elegant yet understated, while also spacious and practical. An excellent gift for moms who need to keep everything close and their hands free.

For a bold and chic backpack, the Mavis backpack by Ermanno Scervino is the way to go. Its animal print and oversized chain handle accentuate the glamorous style that defines this fashion house.
