Beth Ladd Collections Bamboo Handle Clutch
This beaded clutch from Beth Ladd combines the nostalgia of your grandmother’s favorite evening bags with a print that feels perfectly preppy. The bamboo handle adds a touch of warmth, and it’s just big enough to hold an iPhone, keys, a lip gloss, and your credit cards.
Anthropologie Tate Beaded Handbag
Available in six shades including this eye-catching lime color (and a lovely bridal white), “The Tate” is the ideal size and shape to be your go-to for all kinds of occasions this season. Reach for it to dress up jeans and a neutral tank, or pair it with your favorite wedding guest ensembles!
Sézane Mini Farrow Bag
This coral-colored mini bucket bag comes with a European pedigree — it’s from of-the-moment French brand Sézane, and it’s made by their Italian atelier. Crafted from buttery soft leather and featuring an iconic bucket shape, this chic bag is one you’ll carry this season and for years to come.
BTB Leaf Gigi Framed Clutch
Vibrant turquoise adds an unexpected touch to this raffia clutch. This is the bag to grab when you want to add a touch of color and texture to an elegant white dress. Alternatively, it’s a great go-to when you want to dress up a casual t-shirt and shorts ensemble — as perfect for the daytime as it is for the evening.
Draper James Bucket Bag
Anything in the shade “Lipstick Red” has our vote this season! This pretty-but-practical bucket bag from Draper James comes with a removable crossbody strap, so you can wear it across your chest all day for errands, or carry it as a chic handbag into the evening.
Mark & Graham Vegan Leather Bow Bag
A bow that feels more playful than sweet gives this spring bag a “cool girl” look. Made out of supple vegan leather, it comes in four different colors, including spring-ready green, ivory, and raspberry, that will complement all of your warm-weather dresses. Like many Mark & Graham styles, you can also add a monogram for a personalized touch.
Garland Bags Evie Clutch
A stunning pattern from iconic fabric and wallpaper house Thibaut is the star of this darling clutch, which also has customizable hardware. You can choose anything from a bow to a Greek key to a pair of giraffes to dress up the front of your clutch. And, because of the casual nature of the fabric, this clutch works just as well for brunch as it does for a night out on the town.
STAUD Tommy Beaded Shoulder Bag
When you want your bag to make a statement, this vibrantly colored beaded shoulder bag is the answer. Covered in abstract retro flowers against a crisp white background, this bag stands out in the crowd. If you want something that screams summer, it also comes with a vintage-inspired swimmer motif or a bright pink and purple floral.
Tory Burch McGraw Leather Bucket Bag
A pretty periwinkle shade feels perfect for spring days. Imagine this charming Tory Burch bag with a white shirtdress or an easy, breezy block-print blouse. A bucket bag silhouette is deceivingly roomy, and it’s ideal for travel when you want everything within reach. The option to carry it by a top handle or a crossbody strap makes this bag even more versatile.
Beau & Ro The Bamboo Clutch + Crossbody
We love that this bamboo clutch and crossbody-in-one is entirely American-made — from its California leather to its New York manufacturing. The size of this timeless bag is just right for carrying all the essentials: phone, wallet, touch-up makeup, and keys. Snag this navy blue for a color that will look incredibly chic with everything from a nautical striped tee to a tailored sundress.
Happy spring!
