We don't know about you, but we are so obsessed with Wimbledon at the moment. The world famous tennis tournament has fast become THE place to be over the years, and it's quickly become synonymous with style.

Wimbledon whites are always in style, but smart, tailored looks are also loved by all. This year, we have noticed that top-handle bags - which are part of the ever trending 'Old Money' aesthetic - have been all over Centre Court.
What is the 'Old Money' aesthetic?
The term is pretty simple. It's pretty much luxurious, classic items that ooze class and elegance. Think chic blazers with vintage buttons in classic tones such as navy or camel. A pair of black stiletto high heels, a crisp white shirt and well-tailored suits. These items will last throughout your life - you will be wearing them in twenty years time as they just don't date. No bold patterns that can go out of style, and certainly no zany logos. Subtle displays of luxury.
We noticed so many mini bags at Wimbledon in classic shades with chic, Old Money style gold hardware.

Old Money bags for you
Although much of the 'Old Money' look is focused on designer-led items, there are some amazing offerings from mid-range labels too that will really elevate your look.
Fiorella's 'Nova' bag in black is giving us some serious Hermes mini Kelly vibes, and the 'Iris' bag from luxury vegan brand Mashu has a gorgeous boxy feel and the gold hardware is beyond debonair.
Keep the rest of your outfit fairly simple and let an elegant, Old Money bag take your look to the next level.
