Summer Necessity: The White Handbag
White handbags are an absolute necessity for the summer. They go with so many summer outfitsYear after year I find myself in search of a white handbag for the summer. I often have a hard time finding a white handbag I like. There are many things to keep in mind and look for when shopping for white bags. A big problem with white bags is that they can easily look cheap. You really can’t go the cheap route when buying a white bag or else you’ll get what you paid for. You have to find something of top quality but also of a material that won’t pick up every grain of dust that falls on it. The extremely soft white leathers tend to pick up dirt very easily. You want a classic style that will last you beyond one season. After shopping around for a little, these are the top 2 white handbags that I found:
1. The Bottega Veneta White Woven Leather Large Tote: This is one of Bottega Veneta’s signature woven bags. It is truly a classic, and one that will remain in your closet for years of wear. The fine leather and construction makes this bag a quality, sturdy handbag with luxury and style to boot. The minor touches of gold hardware give this bag an added touch of individuality. This bag is the perfect white handbag because it can be worn with anything, for any occasion and will never go out of style. This is my favorite white handbag. And at 20% off you can now get this bag for $1,904.00.
2. Prade White Nylon Bow Pleated Tote Bag: This bag’s simplicity gives it a timeless look. It’s basic structure and nylon exterior give create a look that you can’t really go wrong with. The bag is contrasted with a silver leather strap and handles that contrast this bag’s basic style. This bag is also 20% off and a steal at $476.00.
Both of these bags can be found at Bluefly.com.

I have that white BV tote, but you know what I hate about it? The white is very high maintenance. I feel like if I breath it will get dirty.
I need a new white bag.
I love the white bag season!!!! My heart is set on that white prada, or a similar one, in that price range.
Love these bags. I dont think you could ever go wrong with a white handbag. Beautiful.
Oh Vanessa, you sure to know your stuff
I love these bags you picked, actually these are the top 2 white bags on my Spring White Bag Shopping List.
I really want a BV bag, but they’re so expensive. Do you think they will stay in style?
Thanks w12! I love these bags.
Paula – I think you’d be really safe with the BV bag. There’s nothing “too” trendy about it that will make it go out of style. For ex. there’s not big funky buckles or patent leather (seasonal trends). Its so basic and classic but still stylish and will last you quite a long time if you take care of it.
Awesome picks Vanessa. these bags are both super classy.
that prada bag is HOTT HOTT HOTT!!
