The month of May marks the time of the season where we officially transition our closets, swapping our winter handbags for summer’s favorite styles. This summer, it’s all about embracing a vibrant color palette, from pale colors to bold pinks and greens, while also introducing more ladylike bags into the repertoire. Ahead, we’re revealing our must-have bags for the summer from some of our favorite luxury fashion houses, like Gucci, Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton,and Fendi, among others.
