2020 Handbag Trend #1: Woven Everything

Our Edie bag aligns with this on-trend aesthetic, featuring soft leather basket weave, a convenient crossbody strap, and a zipped top. It comes in six neutral colorways and most importantly, it’s incredibly affordable.

This texture-rich 2020 handbag trend has flourished at fast and high-fashion retailers alike, and remains a popular style heading into fall and winter. With its stitched chevron pattern and soft leather exterior, our Sunny bag is a high-quality and affordable version of the trend. This versatile crossbody comes in six muted colors and features three organizational compartments.
