Sarah Jessica Parker made it cool to wear gold again, with her infamous ‘Carrie’ nameplate necklace. Since then, gold bags have become haute.

The great thing about gold bags is that they can be paired with a variety of tones, and shift effortlessly from spring to summer to fall. The below runway looks show the versatility of gold handbags.

Anna Sui softens a glaring gold tone pouch by pairing it up with a modern hippie look – a sweet chiffon dress, flower hat, and slouchy socks. Diesel totes gold rays to the beach by pairing its bag with swimwear. Badgley Mischka opts for the contemporary chic minidress, accompanied by a muted gold satchel. Moschino takes it up a notch with a more formal knee length gown, multicolored stole, and a butterscotch–toned metallic handbag.
