Handbags have always been a weakness of mine. My handbag collection practically needs a closet of its own. I love for my accessories to make a statement – they’re the equivalency of a supporting actress stealing the spotlight! That is why I am enamored with the handbags at ClaudiaG. Their handbags make a statement from their high-octane patterns to their spirited colors, featuring the finest materials combined with unique textures.

The perfect everyday handbag has to tick four boxes: it should be spacious enough to hold all of my essentials, comfortable to carry, durable, and look good with practically anything I wear. The Luminous Tote ($199; available in canary yellow, watermelon, tan, and orange) is all of these things! It’s the prime example of a statement handbag with its playful, fashion-forward, and lively design. Its size makes it the perfect candidate for the gym, traveling, running errands, or even as a diaper bag!

It has elongated top handles that ensures comfort for the wearer. The handbag is also constructed with a spacious interior and inside pockets, innovative symmetrical laser cut design, and purple interior lining. It’s also accented with removable ClaudiaG leather drops. In a nutshell, this handbag is worth the small splurge just in case you need justification in purchasing this handbag!
