If there are two categories of clothing I’m the pickiest about when shopping, it’s shoe and bags. So when my aunt asked me to help choose a bag for her from Anthropologie’s sale section, I was flattered—especially since her taste is so different from mine. She gravitates towards bold, patterned, colorful designs, while I tend to go for more understated, chic styles.
Since she loves going on beach trips, her criteria were that she wanted something she could carry through the end of summer as well as on warm-weather vacations.
While I was scrolling, I noticed that until the end of today, August 10, the retailer is taking an extra 40% off sale items. Below, I rounded up a selection discounted bags and other finds that made me think of her, ranging from pared-back wardrobe staples to fully maximalist statement pieces.
