If you’re going to spend $700 on a bag, you’re better off making it something timeless instead of trendy. Wouldn’t you rather have something you could carry yearly without fail? This Lima Quintessa Vertical Shopper by Kate Spade practically guarantees annual usage, thanks to its classic style, roomy interior and bright white color. Perfect for carrying throughout the summer, it’s a strong leather tote with an adorable polka-dot print lining inside. Kate Spade often gets it wrong, but this elevates the brand right back to the top for me. Available at Nordstrom.
