Soft leather totes, shoulder bags and clutches for a weekend away or a long summer day. Pick one bag that carries everything and one small one for the evening.
Bag Escape
A good bag does half the work of an outfit. The one I would pick for a getaway is a soft leather shoulder bag that holds a passport, sunglasses and a book without looking stuffed, like the Loewe Paula's Ibiza in brown or the Bottega Veneta Intrecciato shoulder bag. Both look better the more they are worn in.
For evenings I switch to a clutch, and I like it a little unexpected: the Dries Van Noten metallic envelope in orange, The Row Peggy in a rich brown, or the Khaite Audrey in dark burgundy suede. When the day is long I carry a big tote, and Toteme's Roam and Dries Van Noten's March are the two I would trust. Keep the clothes simple, a knit and wide trousers, and let the bag be the thing people notice.
