Lighten the Load

Chapstick, phone, keys, cash, Visa, and I.D.

These are the essentials to carry for summer, not the 25lb baby we’ve been lugging around. In fact, since we spotted this cross-body number in ultra-soft leather, we’re determined to downsize. Even the buttery brown shade feels lighter than our signature black.

After all, on a sunny day your handbag should say, “laissez-faire,” not “I belong on an an episode of Hoarders.”
