The Best Bags in the Wild We Spotted on the Upper East Side Last Week

Upper East Siders enjoy the last licks of summer with Birkins and beyond!

BITW Upper East Side August 2022 16

Another week has come and gone, and we’re starting off a fresh one by bringing you a brand new set of Bags in the Wild from the Upper East Side. The UES continues to wow us, with Birkins, Kellys, and Chanel around every corner. This week’s set of bags features a bit of the classics (you can’t go wrong with a Louis Vuitton Speedy!), a couple of mysterious carries, and more. As summer winds down, the temps continue to soar, and we weren’t surprised to see the bags paired with short shorts and easy, breezy dresses.

One of the buzziest times in New York is just around the bend (NYFW, we see you!), but for now, and forever, we’re enamored by the bags that New Yorkers carry in their everyday lives. Check out a fresh set of real people and their real street-style bags below! Which one is your favorite?

The classics, the mysteries, and more from the UES!

I live in NY and work in NYC and if I had a dollar for every Le Pliage I saw…🤣

Same, they are classic!

If I’m not mistaken the woman on the crosswalk with the Longchamp is also carrying an Hermès garden party tote–been eyeing those!

Klara

I have never seen a Kelly I didn’t like…until this…

Georgina Caitlin Sweeting

What’s the bag?

Everything about that photo is amazing – the green building trim, her drink and the bag laying on the table. Not to mention the dark taupe facade of the structure to her right. It’s a REALLY good photo…

Vlad Dusil

How about the reflection of the car door handles making it seem like there are eyes behind the shop window staring at her?

I agree, wonderful shot!

PeggySue

You have a wonderfully creative mind! I wouldn’t have seen the “eyes” if you hadn’t mentioned it! 😊

The photo is great because it’s organic. She doesn’t seem to notice that she & her surroundings integrate beautifully, which makes it more interesting and eye-catching.🌹 Are you the photographer? If so, you’re amazing!

This UES series was shot by Alyssa Lester for PurseBlog. I typically do all of our South Florida BITW content.
