Little summer bags

tasseled, beaded, vintage pucci & more

I love a tiny handbag. I always want to take the least amount of things out with me as possible (maybe less to worry about losing?) And there’s something freeing about leaving the house without a lot of stuff and your arms relatively unencumbered.

Even when I owned a real wallet (now I just use the magnetic cardholder on the back of my phone) I would never take the whole thing out with me, just remove a credit card or two and maybe my ID. So, my phone and a lip balm or lipstick is really all I bring with me. If this sounds less than practical then I dare you to try it — especially in the summer, a pretty little handbag is all you need :-)

Building off of the summer mood boards I sent out in my last newsletter, here are a curation of little bags: beaded, tasseled, wooden, seashelled and pearled galore.
