Time for bright whites! The Lauren by Ralph Lauren Bermondsey Zip Satchel opts for stark and bold sophistication in its statement-making design.

Perfect with jeans and a bold spring blouse, this bag is sure to be a favorite all season. Available for $328 at Piperlime.

… all very unique. But on the other hand it strikes me as too sporty, unwearable, and a little too stark — it almost comes off as cartoon-y in this photo.

It’s $195 at DVF.com.

Next up is the long strap trend; basically shoulder style bags are back, which is great news as they’re pretty and practical too. A decade ago bags with shoulder straps were seen tucked up underneath …

… Paris Capri Perforated Tote comes in four different colors, but I am particularly struck by the stark difference between the same bag in black and white. Like that angel and devil that sit on your shoulders, advising you as you consider whether you need that third Marc Jacobs shopper, they are polar opposites. The white is sweet and cute – ready for your pastels and bright summer dresses. But the black is tough stuff; the perforations that look like lace on the white bag look more like …
