We Want: A Good Bag

The older we get, the more classic we want our bags to be. We need something that won't look out of place or weird at work, but can also function in a laid-back setting. And we'd like to invest in one that we can use for years. We went looking for bags that fit the bill, and found 13 we really liked, from beachy woven styles to minimalist leather options and a pulled-from-our-past nylon favorite.
A beautiful, classic option (we like how there isn’t any visible branding). Brady Aire Bag, $285.
Pretty, summery, and versatile. Mango Raffia Bucket Bag, $60.
This goes-with-anything crossbody is appealing. Clare V. Turnlock Louis Bag, $435.
Former Lucky creative director Andrea Linett posted a photo of herself with this bag in brown, and it looks so cute. (There are also a ton available on resale sites.) Longchamp Le Pliage Original Large Nylon Tote, $155.
Very summery. Bembien Benna Bucket Bag, $290.
We’ve heard this one is great for work. Everlane Studio Bag, $200.
A surprisingly cool option. H&M Leather Shoulder Bag, $219.
High-shine embossed leather will dress anything up. J.Crew Berkeley Bag in Italian Croc-Embossed Leather, $189.50.
This one’s perfect for a night out. Staud Ollie Polished Leather Shoulder Bag, $212.
The material’s beachy, but the style and shape could work in all sorts of contexts. Ulla Johnson Marta Small Raffia Tote, $250.
Very chic. DeMellier Santorini Leather Cage Raffia Basket Bag, $235.
This will probably sell out. Cos Leather Swing Crossbody, $150.
An adorable little suede bucket. Ann Mashburn Paola Bucket Bag, $275.
