Lust-Worthy Designer Handbags for Spring

Nothing freshens up a tired wardrobe like a new bag. As we ring in the new season, many of us are craving a closet update. We want to feel of-the-moment, but a whole wardrobe overhaul is neither realistic nor necessary. A fresh feel can be achieved with some small but impactful upgrades.

Single out just a few of the season’s new trends; one of the easiest ways to update is with a bold accessory. A statement handbag has the power to elevate any look– whether it’s a new style from an iconic brand or a new label making waves with a forward-thinking silhouette. Read on for some lust-worthy designer handbags new for spring:

One of today’s hottest luxury bags was created for people who can’t afford luxury bags. Brooklyn-based designer Raul Lopez set out to launch accessories that feel and look like high-end quality, but with entry level designer pricing of under $300; he cites Michael Kors as an inspiration for this aspirational but still within-reach pricing. Luar has been seen on the arms of Dua Lipa and Troye Sivan - definitely a good sign.

Telfar’s newest model, the Circle Bag, immediately sold out upon its release - in typical Telfar fashion. But the brand is soon coming out with a white version - super chic and right on time for your lighter seasonal wardrobe.

Brandon Blackwood worked tirelessly to get where he now is– double majored in fashion, took internships at magazines and in buying offices, then created a handful of samples with his graduation money. His line slowly gained traction - but exploded upon the launch of his “ESR tote,” which stands for End Systemic Racism. While the brand has a slew of new styles dropping in April, we love the chrome Kamal Bucket Bag– right on trend with the resurgence of buckets, and in a perfectly petite party size.

One brand that never seems to go out of style is Prada. It feels especially of-the-moment right now, thanks to the new bags in minimal, 90’s silhouettes. We love the Femme bag in scarlet, with its simple elegant shape– and of course, that iconic enamel triangle.

Bottega Veneta, another well established luxury Italian fashion house, has been red hot for the past handful of years, this spring no exception. Their accessories were particularly successful under the design of British designer Daniel Lee (who left the brand late last year). Bottega is known for its signature weave, but unveiled a modern take on the classic with the Padded Cassette Bag - a favorite of Rihanna and Jacob Elordi. The bags come in vivid colors, too- an investment that won’t go unnoticed.
