New York Fashion Week is a great place to sport some of our favorite buys of the season. Everyone from fashion editors and bloggers to buyers look their best, while being practical and able to go from show to show without their outfits and accessories slowing them down.

This is part of the reason why we had to have the 3.1 Phillip Lim backpacks during this busy week of fashion shows. Its handbag collection has expanded so much in the past years - have you seen their OMG, CASH and TOTES? - and the new Pashlis are already becoming a classic, now the coolest form of a backpack.

The new must-have backpacks have the iconic Pashli handbag's zipper design, with a slightly taller shape and two straps in the back. Needless to say, these backpacks were our best friends during fashion week. We could carry everything form a change of shoes, oversized invitations, and makeup in them and still be hands-free when snapping a street-style photo or shooting models backstage and on the runway. Plus the crackled leather adds an extra cool factor. You can either go for the downtown-cool black and cream model or the girly baby blue and cream combo. It's such a practical bag that you'll never regret getting it - and either way, you are sure to stop traffic with such a standout accessory on your back.
