Oftentimes, when people think of building their designer bag collection, they go for the usual investments. Think the Chanel Flap, the Lady Dior, or a Goyard Saint Louis tote. Although these are timeless, you don’t always have to limit yourself to just the classics, especially if your personal style resonates with more playful pieces.
Take some cues from Kristel Fulgar, whose growing designer bag collection boasts pieces that are fun and unique.
LOOK: Kristel Fulgar’s Designer Bag Collection
1. CELINE Chain Clutch
Adorned with the brand’s signature Triomphe logo in an elegant white and tan color combination, this chic mini bag is a stylish addition to any outfit. It particularly stands out on Kristel's white-on-white ensembles. Case in point: her white puffer jacket worn over a white sweater and gray pleated mini skirt, plus gray tights, and white winter boots.

2. DIOR Caro
Released in 2021, the Dior Caro is a calf leather masterpiece representing Dior’s take on the classic flap silhouette. The supple piece requires an impressive 18,000 stitches to form the quintessential geometric cannage of the French luxury house. Kristel effortlessly slings the bag over her shoulder during her travels in sunny Barcelona. In one instance, she pairs it with a European-inspired floral corset top and a beige leather skirt, completing her look with travel-appropriate white sneakers.

The YSL Mini Nolita is one of Kristel’s go-to bags. Its classic style makes it perfect for everyday use because it goes with just about any outfit and the size is just right for holding daily essentials. It features a front flap adorned with the YSL motif in gold hardware, diamond quilted overstitching, and a chain and leather strap that can be worn over the shoulder or across your body for convenience.
