Bags are a collector's item that you should definitely love using. Ofc, you'll have your faves (one of mine is the Coach shoulder bag), but I personally believe you need various styles. There are many a classic that should be in your closet right now—a shoulder bag as I just mentioned, the everyday ones like the crossbody, totes, carryalls, and satchels. You obvi need a clutch for fancier occasions and you def need a basket bag, especially for the warmer seasons.
Basket bags aka straw bags have been around foreverrr and there are tons of modern iterations so don't brush 'em off before you give 'em a chance (that used to be me LOL). Ahead, you'll find totes (even a hand-crochet design by Tory Burch), market totes (like the ones everyone is loving from Loewe), mini beauts, leather ones, clutches you'll want to hit the resort with, and just so many gorge woven bags in the most unique shapes and motifs. Bet you'll find your fave in no time!
I know, I know—we're loving this year's bag trends, too. And I'm proud to say there's lots more where that came from :) Check out which ones you should have on rotation for this summer and what's hot for fall rn! You might as well shop designer bbs via Amazon, while you're at it!
Rave Review: "I was searching for a classy straw bag with a more elevated look to take on vacation and this is perfect. Didn’t want anything too large and cumbersome for the plane. Also didn’t want anything too stiff and scratchy that would be uncomfortable to carry. This is a softer straw, simple and elegant with the leather straps, and the perfect size. Highly recommend."
Rave Review: "I am in love with it this eye-catching dainty purse! The handle is very sturdy and the bag is well made. I must say, it's well worth the price! I'm going to order me another one."
So many things to love about this bestselling bag! 1: It looks like a home for your fave plant. 2: You can fit all your essentials. 3: You can make it your very own with all of the funky strap options!
