1. The Louis Vuitton Palm Springs Mini Backpack

This tiny backpack made its debut in the 2016 Cruise collection, and it’s been on the backs of influencers (and all over your Instagram feed) ever since. It’s proof that anything miniature is automatically adorable, and the resurgence of #logomania is alive and well.

2. The Chanel Transparent PVC Handbag

Privacy? So last year. Clear bags are taking over the streets, and we’re so on board. This unexpected material is just that – unexpected (which makes it cool in our book). So, throw out those old receipts, gum wrappers, and any other unidentifiable objects that may be piling up. It’s an excuse to get organized, right?

3. The Dior Saddle Bag

This early 2000s It bag (and a Sex in the City heirloom) is back due to a smart marketing play by Dior. In recent months, almost every big-time influencer was caught sporting the bag… and we were double-tapping. Carrie Bradshaw would be proud.

4. The Gucci Belt Bag

It’s cool to be uncool in the fashion world – and the Gucci belt bag (please note: we didn’t say “fanny pack”) fits the mold. A hands-free bag also means you’ll have a better grip on your cell when you need to nail that selfie. It’s the little things in life, right?

5. The STAUD Moreau Bag

Is it even summer if you’re not carrying this? We can’t get enough of this nautical interpretation of a bucket bag. It’s basically begging for a trip to the Amalfi coast… and we are so there.
