Inaugurating a lighter, prettier, easier handbag is nothing short of a spring wardrobe ritual. But, like finding our fall boots and winter coat, the spring bag search comes with a little agenda: It needs to be a decent size, roomy enough to accommodate an extra bikini or a few paperbacks for the beach; it needs to have a sense of fun (purple, turquoise, pale pink...bring it on); and, like always, it can't be too trendy. And given we never want to see our bag coming and going at every corner, we rounded up more than 20 totes in six different categories, to make sure you can score one that feels just right for you and the sunny months ahead.
