I’m regularly ribbed (gently!)
by my friends and colleagues over the diminutive handbags that seldom leave my body.

Brahmin Arietta Leather Crossbody
The tiniest of the TLCs (a feat!
Cult Gaia Sybil Crossbody Bag
Vacations are an excellent excuse to carry a TLC.
What better time to unencumber yourself?
It was practically made to be paired with espadrilles and a crochet cover-up.
Just imagine this one paired withtrendy sneakersand an oversized sweatsuit.
Aldo’s Alamaendrai Mini Crossbody Bag possesses my favorite attribute in an evening TLC: A top handle.
The answer: Something that would go with most of my wardrobe while adding a little of the unexpected.
This affordable option from Moda Luxe features a mid-century modern handle on an otherwise streamlined design.
It’d be a great way to add a fun, ’60s-esque touch toa minimal outfit.
If you aren’t seeing anything you love, check back regularlythey frequently drop new colorways.
JW PEI Fae Tophandle Crossbody
The TLC goes ladylike with this little structured bag from JW PEI.
They’re super lightweight and water-resistant without sacrificing any sophistication.
