 "I don't own any 'summery' bags and this one screams warm weather and tropical holidays. The size is ideal for errands, beach days and work, and the adjustable and removable crossbody strap is a big tick for me. I can already see her sitting very pretty in amongst my other bags."

MARIKAI Mini Bag, $34.99

Laura, Social Media Producer.

 "I am OBSESSED with mini bags. and I absolutely love this colour and chic style. It looks summery, classy, and elegant but it's also functional with its long strap! It’s also ridiculously cheap right now."

EVITY Nola Leather Knot Handle Tote Bag, $249

Shannen, Editorial Assistant.

 "I really like how this tote bag is cute enough to take to the beach and also to a nice lunch or dinner! It's large enough to fit in a towel, a water bottle and a book but it also feels really understated and it wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb when I'm running errands. It's multi-purpose and has a worn look I'm obsessed with."

MARIKAI Croc Mini Top Handle Bag, $34.99

Katie, Sex Editor.

"I don't know why, but I'm going through a big baby blue phase at the moment, and so this bag is truly speaking to my soul. It'll be perfect for all the upcoming Christmas parties and summer barbecues where I can just chuck in my phone, sunglasses and sunscreen and keep it on me at all times – cos when it's this chic, I'm not taking it off! Also, it's under $40, but looks like it could easily go for $300? WHAT IS THIS WIZARDRY?!"

EVITY Chevron Leather Bucket Bag, $79.99

NERE Twill 58cm Wheel Bag, $170

Belinda Jepsen, Senior Features Writer.

"I'm eyeing-off the NERE Twill 58cm Wheel Bag. Not the most glamorous choice amongst all the gorgeous compact handbags, I know, but it's gotten 'this will handle all my mum life needs' written all over it! A wheeled duffle is my favourite kind of bag for short trips and weekends away. Slots easily into the car or overhead locker, can be stuffed full, and the wheels mean you've got one less thing to lug around. Love the gold details on this one." 

MARIKAI Baguette Shoulder Bag With Chain, $34.99

Talissa, Podcast Producer.

 "Green is my favourite colour by a country mile and this is such a vibrant, beautiful green. I’m seeing a lot of baguette bags around (thanks Instagram and TikTok for knowing what I need!) but I’m so used to oversized bags, stuffed to the brim with a thousand things I don't need to carry around, so I’ve never made the switch. But this Marikai Baguette Shoulder Bag with the boujie chain is compact enough to be in style but have enough room for my phone and necessities! Love love love."

EVITY Palma Leather Weave Small Crossbody Bag, $149

Tys, Office Manager.

"I am a huge fan of an everyday cross-body bag with an adjustable length – because it's the style I'm always looking for when I'm running around getting ready at home before dashing out the door. The brown leather on this bag is gorgeous and will be able to match with every outfit, especially as I'm leaning into wearing more warm tones this summer. The smaller compartments are great to slot my phone into and not having the panic of digging through the middle section while it's ringing makes me instantly calmer. The leather weave is timeless and will just get more gorgeous with age."

NERE Wonda 75cm Suitcase, $270

Isabella, Content Producer.

 "As someone who has an exciting holiday on the cards, I'm in desperate need of a new suitcase. My previous one I had for years and years, and it was from this same brand – durable, reliable and also I love the different colours available. This olive-toned suitcase in particular is definitely going into my shopping cart, not to mention the size is not too small and not too big – winner!"
