Swap Your Little Black Purse for a Little White Bag

“There’s a new it-girl bag on the block, and it’s the Romy. Simple and lightweight in structure. Easy to access and no visible logos in sight (a pet peeve of mine). The cream coloring is also much more wearable than you might think, though it comes in a bunch of different colors if you are scared of scuffs and stains. I think for the quality and price, it’s a great everyday bag.” — Lynette Nylander, executive digital director

“The Row’s half moon bag is sleek, minimal, and a fashion classic in the making. It’s easy to see why it’s already become a beloved celebrity favorite among Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber. While it is understated in design, it is versatile in its myriad styling applications. I can see myself wearing it with a ’90s style slip dress and high heels to an upcoming wedding or dress it down during the weekend with a cashmere knit and boyfriend jeans. The bright white shade adds just the right amount of pop to a look, without actually having to wear color. It’s ideal for a modern minimalist like myself.” —Julie Tong, senior commerce content lead
