When you think of pastels, handbags might not be the first thing that comes to mind. Cotton candy, coated almonds, fluffy marshmallows—that’s more like it. But just in time to match your leftover Easter candy, the style set is swapping their basic black, brown and neutral purses for a slew of softer, sweeter hues—think lavender, light pink and, everyone’s returning favorite, butter yellow. It’s a handbag trend I can totally get behind—not least of all because it instantly makes any fit feel springtime fresh.
As usual, Coach Outlet is ahead of the fashion curve, already offering a selection of candy-colored pastel purses for every occasion. Whether you’re after an everyday crossbody bag with quilted detailing or a work tote that’s roomy enough to fit all your essentials, you can snag your dream style for under $250. To get you started, I’ve rounded up the best mint green, pale pink and butter yellow bags in a range of chic silhouettes.
