Move over large totes and hobos—the small satchel is here and making quite the impression both on and off the runways! Characterized by a boxy shape, flap silhouette, and ultra-long strap, these petite purses offer the ideal amalgam of ladylike grace and modern edge, which is why trendsetters like Diane Kruger and Rachel Bilson adore them. We love them too because they manage to be both functional and sophisticated; whether they’re worn across the body or on one shoulder, these hands-free carriers are perfect for all your on-the-go moments.
Even better: small satchels always add a little panache to more casual, daytime ensembles, making them a must-buy for summer!
While all of these runway examples are wonderful, do keep in mind that there are many other options out there, as our celebrity trendsetters so deftly demonstrate. Some opt for an ultra-classic shape, like the always-fashionable Diane Kruger who wore a classic Hermes Constance Elan Bag ($7,200, 800.441.4488)—one of Jackie O.’s favorites—on a weekend shopping trip with boyfriend Joshua Jackson. Paired with a chic blazer, wing-tip shoes, and black leather satchel, the result is just the sort of delightfully polished daytime look we’ve come to expect from Kruger.
