THE NEW EVERYDAY BAG

Without the backpack straps, they are essentially sophisticated mid-sized day bags, some of which you might even know by name because they are It perennials. With the straps, you have the added convenience of going hands-free without looking like you’re trying to act half your age, thanks to their fittingly refined designs (which also means no complaints that they’re not detachable).
