STRUCTURED RAFFIA, not SLOUCHY

Raffia is the perfect way to add texture to a look and nothing feels more in line with warmer temperatures than a raffia handbag. Instead of a slouchy style, which is par for the course (or beach), try a more structured shape with interesting lines. This more dressed up version is both versatile and elegant.

SLEEK BUCKET, not (too) BUSY

Bucket bags are a classic for a reason, and I love how they can easily transition from desk to drinks — especially when they’re sleek and simple. They’ll stand the test of time and easily be one of your go-to’s season after season.

EAST/WEST BAG, not SATCHEL

One style really stood out above the rest on the runways, and that’s the EAST / WEST style — fancy speak for a more horizontally oriented bag. This unique shape instantly updates your more classic bags and I think you’ll reach for it when you want to add something unexpected to your look.
