Summer season is right here and I can really feel myself altering with the season. I’m extra social, extra go-with-the-flow, and my tan is popping — that is all to be anticipated. What’s completely different about this yr is my want to interrupt away from the gathering of itty bitty purses I’ve cultivated and the minimalist angle I’ve round packing them (cellphone, pockets, keys, and sunnies). I’m declaring it a BBS: Large Bag Summer season.
As an enormous bag virgin, I wanted purchasing inspiration, so I seemed to the celebs. Katie Holmes is at all times buzzing round NYC with Mansur Gavriel purses, just like the outsized Maxi Candy Leather Hobo. And a picture of Nicole Kidman on the Sydney airport has been lingering in my thoughts since October; she’s carrying a tan leather-based tote that looks to be from The Row, sadly out of my worth vary at $2,390. Then there’s this nonetheless of Jennifer Aniston in Homicide Thriller 2, the place her character is carrying a phenomenal straw and leather-based bag.

My objective for warm-weather equipment is to steer clear of black for the reason that colour is such a protected area for me and is type of the antithesis of summer season. I just like the tender construction of Holmes’ bag, however with the journey and weddings that include this time of yr, I’m not prepared for its price ticket ($895).
This Mango bag, on sale for $56, is a flexible saddle brown colour with an adjustable strap and magnetic closure. I like that it has a middle zip-pocket divider that may maintain little, essential issues like keys in addition to maintain every thing from falling right into a pit on the backside (one thing that’s turned me off from massive baggage prior to now). Nordstrom notes the capability is massive at 14 inches extensive by 13.75 inches excessive and 5.5 inches deep.

Holmes truly owns this actual Madewell bag (in an analogous burgundy colour to her fashion above — we love a lady who is aware of what she likes). Within the ecru shade, one in all eight colours the best-selling purse is available in, it may cross for a cousin — perhaps a second cousin — of Kidman’s stunning however expensive leather-based tote from Olsen twin-designed label The Row.
Notable options embody a magnetic closure, inside pocket, and inside measurement that’s spacious sufficient for a 15-inch laptop computer.

Whereas my Aniston bag inspo is technically from the wardrobe division, I feel we will all agree the spacious straw tote dangling from the criminal of her arm may simply be seen on Jen IRL — or any of us. The basic seashore bag will get slightly metropolis swagger due to leather-based straps, just like this under-$100 fashion from Anthropologie.
