Many styles feature neutral shades, but it’s the brilliant pop of color that really grabbed my attention. This is a season where color-blocking reign supreme and this bag is an ultimate accessory to do just that. Pair it with neutrals, denim and for the more adventurous, cobalt blue, vivid green, sunshine yellow…you get the picture.
