After years and years of crossbodies, I’m liking the return to large shoulder bags — particularly this best selling bag from J.Crew.
The bag has a magnetic closure beneath the buckle, and is part of J.Crew’s sustainable sourcing pledge. At 10″H by 13″W by 3.5″D (with a 12″ handle drop), it looks like a great size for carrying a paperback or iPad, makeup, keys, and maybe even an apple or protein bar.
It’s $188 at J.Crew.com.
Hunting for a great professional purse? In 2024, readers are loving affordable bags from brands like Cuyana, Lo & Sons, and Madewell. Pricier bags readers love include Polène, Strathberry, DeMellier, and Mansur Gavriel, as well as more designer bags like Chloé (particularly the Marcie line) and Mulberry. (If money is no object, Loewe and Bottega Venetta are always worth a look!)
