We’ve been having a great time each month coming up with birthstone-guided handbag gift ideas. I can’t believe July is already here, but somehow it is. July’s birthstone is the ruby, a stone synonymous with luxury. A ruby red bag comes in handy not only for the summer months, but also year-round. The color is vibrant and perfect to add a little zest to your wardrobe without seeming too trendy. With the 4th of July knocking at our doors, it’s perfectly fitting that we bring you a guide of the best ruby red handbags for July’s birthday ladies. And even if your birthday doesn’t fall in this month, a red bag is a great summer gift to yourself to spruce up your wardrobe.

So happy birthday July babies, we hope our July Birthday Gift Guide helps you find the perfect gift!
