When it comes to looking for the perfect everyday bag, a set of three qualities comes to mind: one-of-a-kind, versatility and subtly chic. While there’s plenty of luxury bag brands in the market, AUPEN, a brand based in New York City and Singapore, stands out because of its affordable prices, and high quality products.

ICMYI, the brand has been on the rise with their bags as the it street style companion, seen on celebrities like Selena Gomez, Kylie Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Gal Gadot, Ashley Park, Fan Bing Bing, Karlie Kloss, Dakota Johnson, Nina Dobrev, and Gabrielle Union.

Having previously purchased and loved the Purpose bag, I wanted to try out more styles by AUPEN. My first choice? The Fearless Re-edition, because of its simple yet sleek silhouette. The Nirvana was a quick add to the cart, with its slouchy shape and unique braided handbag detail. Lastly, the Brooklyn — its geometric shape is inspired by the iconic Brooklyn Bridge in NYC, because I felt that it best embodied my personal style.

To be honest, when the bags arrived, I wasn’t sure if I had over-bought. After all, AUPEN’s mission is to prevent overconsumption by focusing on crafting high-quality products for long-term wearability. Yet, what convinced me that I had made a good decision to purchase all three bags, was their long-term wearability, their ability to complement any look, while effortlessly transitioning from day to night.

For days when I’m heading to the office where dress codes are more casual, I would don on the Fearless Re-edition because its structured silhouettes means it sits well on my shoulders and its corporate-appropriate. The best part? The asymmetric shape elevates my outfit without taking too much away from the whole look.

If I’m headed out for events or just a girls’ night out, I bring out the Nirvana for a unique touch to my outfit. Plus, its hobo shape gives me ample space for all of my essentials. On the weekends, when I head out for a brunch date or social gatherings, the Brooklyn’s unique architectural silhouette makes for a great conversation starter. While these bags have enough room for my daily essentials, if you need more space for larger sized items like a laptop or a pair of shoes, these bags are probably not a good fit.

If you’re looking for functional yet timeless bags that redefine what luxury can be, AUPEN’s offerings are right up your alley. Launched less than a year ago, AUPEN has already cemented its position as the bag brand of choice — and it is a brand that’s here to stay.
