100+ Evening Bags

Best for: all those upcoming spring nuptials, date night, possibly a trip to the theater, maybe even a fancy picnic

It is 80º in New York City today. Which can only mean one thing: spring wedding season is right around the corner.

The ever stylish

Sogole Kane

dropped the below photo, much to my visual pleasure, and sent me on a wild hunt to find the perfect evening bag.

I’ve since found 111 (for those who believe in angel numbers, 111 means new opportunities and beginning, such as a new life for you and your bag) options. Obviously I do not need this many bags, but I had a great time hunting. And so, I present to you: my evening bag roundup. From vintage cream acrylic perfect for beachside destinations to black sequins for the opera-goers to top handle wicker bags that any lace prairie dress would love to be paired with, I promise there is something for everyone. Happy wedding attending to all who are participating, and I hope this over-the-top compilation can take one more to-buy item off your laundry list of tasks. Plus, most of these are under $200. (This is also an unintentional love letter to Rodo bags.)
