If you’re only investing in one bag this season…

When in doubt for what fashion item to buy, there’s only one thing for it: look to Sarah Jessica Parker, because let’s be honest, her inimitable style goes WAY beyond Carrie Bradshaw.

And this season, SJP is all about the velvet bag, in particular this beauty from Manu Atelier.

The actress was spotted on a night out in New York toting the Micro Fernweh suede clutch bag, which features an elegant two-tone strap, suede finish and the brand’s trademark arrow logo.

SJP dressed it up with a little black dress adorned with sequins, as well as heeled court shoes, though the bag is versatile enough that you could wear it with anything.

For party season, I styled the green version of the bag with a classic tux dress, but for a more casual vibe, try wearing it with corduroy culottes, a white slogan tee and Stan Smiths.

Whichever way you want to wear it, you know you'll get many wears out of it, so there's really no good reason not to invest.

And if it's good enough for SJP...
