Ethnic inspired prints are making a huge statement this summer from ikats to batiks, animal prints and serape stripes.
But, if these wild, and often, colorful prints are a bit bold for your taste in clothing, then why not catch the wanderlust spirit with a fabulous fabric handbag?
Lucky Penny's Nomad Scarf Handbag is a top pick here at the Hive. This spacious carryall is made from a printed silk scarf bearing zebras and sketched leaves. In a bright, of-the-moment coral, the bag is detailed with leather straps, a magnetic closure and three roomy inner pockets.
So, if solids are your go-to look, this handbag will certainly take a pair of flares and billowy white blouse to the next level. Yet, if wild is your way, then we suggest mixing this prints with another and really getting in touch with your inner nomadic spirit!
Where to Buy - Anthropologie
Price - $88.00

Bag of the Week - Deena & Ozzy Architectural Reptile Satchel

This Architectural Reptile Satchel from Deena & Ozzy is the perfect back-to-school carryall! And for those of us not heading back to school? It's still pretty perfect. I've been lugging my laptop, planner and paperwork in an oversized canvas bag since early spring, and it is definitely time for a fall update. It's already mid-September (already?) and soon enough, my summer-perfect canvas bag will be clashing with my sweaters, scarves and fall boots. What's more, unlike the super-cute faux reptile-skin leather of this Deena & Ozzy satchel, my canvas tote won€™t stand up to any mist or rain I encounter when heading into the office. The Deena & Ozzy satchel comes in both grey and black, and the vintage-inspired architectural structure and detailing is on trend with the lady-like handbags that came down the fall runways back in February. My favorite detail of the bag, however, has to be the dual padded carry handle and removable adjustable shoulder strap. I love having the option of carrying the bag by the handle like a chic briefcase or slinging it over the shoulder for hands-free bike riding, texting, hand holding or breakfast burrito eating €¦ whatever strikes your fancy.
