Loewe
Puzzle Edge small shoulder bag
Known for impeccably made leather goods, the Puzzle is a key staple from the Loewe house. This bestseller is now updated with an “Edge” design, featuring clean lacquered edges for a fresh, modern look. It’s the perfect traveling companion due to its extra large silhouette, which can easily fit your iPad, water bottle, agenda, and more.
Khaite
Lina crossbody bag
Khaite’s structured yet relaxed Lina bag balances its structured black leather details with honey canvas and a utilitarian edge. We love the canvas for summer, but there are many iterations of this crossbody purse—including a punchy python that Vogue’s associate shopping director Talia Abbas wears regularly.
