Every season the biggest brands and designers showcase their collections and for so many of us the pièce de résistance of each offering, are the handbags that set the scene for what's to come.

Not only do we lust after the newest iterations of our forever favourite styles but we also lay our eyes, for the first time, on the newest creations that will inspire the high street this year. 

From my favourites every year at Bvlgari, Jimmy Choo & Dior to my long time loves at Michael Kors, Coach & Tod's - every brand curates and releases some of the most exciting pieces of the season and I for one am always eager to get my hands on a special piece or maybe two? 

So here are 20 of my favourite 'It' bags from the latest drops and my guesses at which new styles will be flying off the shelves this summer as we lust, love and seek them out in our chosen colour ways and limited edition designs.
