Top 10 Circle Bags
The Unique Handbag Style That's Actually Super Easy To Pull Off
Trend alert! This summer, the only bag you’ll need is a circle bag. A welcome deviation from bucket bags and the classic rectangular crossbody, circular silhouettes in straw and luxe leather are adding a freshness to spring and summer looks. The shape feels modern with a subtle retro flair and in our humble opinion is the most fun in bright white or a bold or pastel shade. Our Top 10 circle bags range from Amazon steals to investment pieces and all pair well with the universal summer uniform—denim cutoffs, a tank, and lace-up sandals. Contemporary designers like Rebecca Minkoff, Clare V. Moyen, and Cult Gaia are really getting in on the circle action and we couldn’t ask for anything more. The 10 best-selling and highly-rated picks below feel inspired by island getaways and Italian vacations, making them nearly impossible to resist. You won’t catch us swapping out handbags this summer; we’re tying a printed scarf on our new circle crossbody and calling it our summer staple. Opening image: net-a-porter.com
