There’s nothing like having a great collection of bags you can rely on for all the different Summer activities and occasions you enjoy and attend during the season: date nights, picnics, beach days….they all require different sizes, materials and finishes. Going out for dinner? a mini bag where you can fit your favorite lipstick and wallet may be just what you need; spending the day at the beach? a roomy and lightweight tote is necessary to carry all the essentials. Different activities call for different bags, and here’s a list of 6 must-have bags for Summer 🙂
