I'm someone who only want/need a small curated collection - I find that when you find a good bag you absolutely love, you don't need a lot. These are my picks.

Clutches and smaller bags
underrated burgundy bag that can be used as a clutch or a shoulder bag! absolutely love this to move from casual day to nice dinner at night.
Obsessed with the burgundy color in this east west system tote. To get a sense of the size, it barely just fits my iPad Air 11 inch. Otherwise, it's light and incredibly comfortable to carry.
Con: despite the “system” name, it does not actually fit any of their system inserts, so the name is misleading.
no affiliate link - I just love Songmont’s bags. The lather is always so supple and soft, & they’re innovative in their shapes.

I have bought a good amount from Strathberry, and they have all been such great quality! One of my favorite brands. This mosaic bag in black in particular is super elegant and useful for an evening out - carries a lot!

I have this in oat, but it looks like they don't sell it anymore. Shame because I still love it.
