A Bright Cross-Body Bag to Carry Through Spring

As far as designer collaborations go, some are better than others. Case in point: Clare Vivier, known for her ultracool bags, is teaming up with the trendy and affordable & Other Stories for a collection of bright, chic leather goods that we can’t wait to get our hands on. Everything in the collection — which consists of backpacks, cross-bodies, and wallets — exudes the sophisticated feel of Vivier’s aesthetic but is still super-affordable. The Pasadena Bag, with a bold orange hue and perforated leather, is a top pick from the collection. Lightweight and roomy enough for the bare essentials, it’ll brighten up your winter coat and be your go-to every weekend.

Orange Pasadena Bag, $120 at & Other Stories.
