This past year, our bags have stayed mostly put in a corner of our closet, waiting to be worn. But as we begin to spend more time outside (finally!), there's an invitation to take our bucket bags [1], shoulder totes, or embellished satchels out for a spin. Whether you're heading to the office [2], running errands, or enjoying a solo museum date, there's a bag that will do it all and you'll be happy you invested in.
