Although I try to consider myself a minimalist when it comes to my wardrobe, the same can’t be said about my handbag collection. While some people care about their shoes or their jewelry collection, I’m a purse girl through and through. While I already have at least 50 bags in my shoe-box apartment in New York, it feels like my wishlist is never-ending. Now that summer is here, I’m leaning into trendier, cooler silhouettes that I’m taking with me on all of my vacations this year. From the shores or Miami to glamping in upstate New York, these 28 handbags are coming with me everywhere. I’ve rounded up all the best summer bags at every price point and style, so scroll through below to discover your latest obsession. You can thank me later!
