If you seek inspo for your much anticipated summer getaway, outdoor summer drinks after work, or simply a fun-filled family day out, we have all of the bag focused fashion advice you need at McElhinneys to ensure you look effortlessly stylish for any event.
1. The LBB
Everyone needs an LBD (Little Black Dress), but what about a LBB … Little Black Bag?
A LBB is a timeless investment piece which will transition through all seasons, trends and event.
Our gorgeous Valentino cross-body black bag is finished with gold chain detail and modernised through its pouch shape - one of the biggest bag trends of the season - making it a must-have investment piece in your bag collection.
2. The Hot Pink Tote
Everyone needs a go-to tote, but have you considered a tote with a hot pink twist?
Naturally, people tend to shy away from purchasing functional bags in bolder colours and play it safe with a neutral toned tote.
As much as we love our neutral bags, add a hint of pink to any basic look and your outfit is sure to go from a 6 to a 10 - making you look vibrant and perfectly summery!
Michael Kors has nailed creating the perfect vibrant tote bag. We are obsessed!
