Regardless of whether it’s in style, I’m always digging “ethnic”, tribal-inspired accessories.  The Wayuu Taya Mochilla Knitted Cotton Crossbody is hand-sewn with bright-blue, orange, green and navy knitted cotton, woven strap, tasseled sides and drawstring top.  I appreciate that each bag is handmade, and no two bags are exactly alike. Price: $175 at NET-A-PORTER.

Although there are some designers that have yet to master making a crossbody bag look cool, Rebecca Minkoff nailed it! The style was once considered more for grandma, but these days, it’s becoming one of the hottest trends. This bag is appropriately named ‘ Eyelet Rocker’ because of the eyelet grommets that cover the entire bag. The colors aquamarine and passionfruit are perfect for spring. Read the full story

Banana Republic is constantly surprising me with chic, affordable bags. I love the chain embossed mini cross-body because it’s a classic style, made of embossed leather in beautiful spring colors – teal glaze, citron green and bronze.
