With a new year brings a fresh start and a chance to reimagine your look and your routine for the months ahead. Maybe that includes a refresh for your personal style as well? We've all hit a bit of a lull with parties and events lately, but there is one thing that can dress up everything from sweats to ready to wear — and that's a new bag.

Buying a luxury item is a big investment, and you want to choose something you're going to love and wear often, as well as a piece that retains its value if you ever choose to resell. While there are many beautiful options to choose from, there are certain investment bags and brands that are sure to be instant collectibles. Here, from a new riff on Gucci's iconic horsebit bag to Dior's chic little hobo bag, we've rounded up our top picks for 2022.

Gucci Horsebit 1955 Shoulder Bag

The Gucci Horsebit 1955 Shoulder Bag (£2,120) features bright and colourful geometric motifs that recall the uniforms worn by horse riding jockeys. The collection was inspired by the Parade Ring, or paddock, where horses walk around as a warm-up before the race and to help racegoers pick a winner.
