Why does a satchel or top handle handbag have so much more gravitas than other handbags? Why does it go so well with business attire? Is it the serious, boxy shape? The lack of straps? Does carrying a bag in hand somehow signify that you are more hands-on? At some point in the last decade, the top-handled handbag basically became the lady briefcase. It’s a handbag that practically screams “I’m on my way to a POWER LUNCH!” Satchels and top handles were a real favorite with celebs this week, particularly so with celebs who are in a near-constant state of power lunching.

Here’s Kate Moss, out to lunch in London with a glossy, black patent leather Chanel Flap. Try as she might, Kate just can’t outrun her impulse to dress like it’s still 1994. And why should she?
