2. PRADA Cleo Satin Bag with Crystals
Making its debut in Prada's Multiple Views Spring-Summer 2021 collection, the Cleo bag holds a special significance as one of the first creations to emerge from the collaboration between Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons.
This version of the Cleo maintains the clean and structured silhouette of the original, but adds a dazzling touch with artificial crystals embellishing the entire bag. In a departure from the original brushed leather, this variation is crafted from luxurious satin, lending it a distinct and contemporary aesthetic.
Kylie Verzosa paired the dazzling bag with an equally shiny pair of Mach & Mach heels, instantly elevating her simple yet chic outfit.

4. JW PEI Abacus Artificial Crystal Mini Top Handle
The crescent shape has been a clear trend among bag designers, and Los Angeles-based label JW Pei definitely got the memo. Of all its sought-after designs, the Abacus bag takes the bow-shaped bag trend to a whole new level with its unique ring-handle detail.
The bag comes in two sizes with several fun hues and textures such as a bright green and baby pink shade, but this bejewelled version Angelique Manto is rocking definitely takes the cake.

5. KARA Crystal Mesh Armpit Bag
As its name suggests, this stunning bag by Kara was designed to nestle comfortably under your arm. With just enough space to fit all your daily essentials and a slouchy silhouette crafted from crystal mesh, it's the perfect combination of function and style.
The shining piece looks great paired with sophisticated gown, but it will look just as chic with jeans and a white tee. It just happens to be one of celebrity photographer BJ Pascual's go-to carriers.
