Saving up for splurge-worthy accessories is always on Team Zoe’s to-do list. Although we’re not totally out of the woods when it comes to the shift in seasons, cold weather isn’t going to stand in the way of our illustrious spring handbag hopes and dreams. Here, seven bags our editors are coveting—and their parallel-universe looks on a budget.
Editors' Picks: Spring Handbags
"Cute, compact shoulder bags are all I want to look at for spring—something about the season ahead is making me excited to ditch my go-to black bags and opt for something more vibrant. I love everything about this Gucci—its gold hardware, padlock closure, boxy shape and color-blocked python exterior. Does anyone wanna lend me four grand?"

"A handbag with a colorful embroidered guitar strap and turquoise studs? Sign me up! I'm in love with this Valentino bag and would wear it every single day if it were mine!"

"I'm in desperate need of a statement bag to mix up my neutral varieties. This M2Malletier style has a timeless shape but stands out thanks to the color, texture and hardware—plus it's versatile as both a cross-body and clutch."

"I wouldn't usually go for a macramé bag with a chain strap, leather trim, long tassels and a logo, but there's something so cool about this one. It's such a statement piece that no matter how low-key my outfit is, this bag would instantly make me look pulled together."

"As a minimalist, I love the simplicity of this bag, and though I don't usually wear pink, this silhouette keeps the spring-perfect peony from feeling too sweet."

"I love how this bag feels like an update on a classic Chanel—the front pocket and boxy shape feel modern while the quilted detailing and chic, off-white shade make it timeless. I would wear this all the time during the warmer months and then sport it with a winter-white ensemble once the temperature drops again."

"I can't wait to wear a lighter, brighter bag for spring, and this mini leather cross-body with jumbo tassel and adorable smiley face is begging to be worn with a fun dress and boots on a warm weekend."
