The Best Bags We Spotted Out and About Last Week in Downtown New York

The beautiful, the bold and the beaded!

Bags in the Wild Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day weekend has come and gone, which means that the summer season has kicked off in full swing here in NYC. Along with the Memorial Day holiday came a big hike in the temps, and our very first heat wave is here. But before we start to share the itsy bitsy short shorts and flowy sundresses New Yorkers will be donning for the rest of the season, we’ve got a few more spring bags to peek at. This week we saw quite a pleasing variety of bags. There was a little bit of vintage and some popular fan favorites like the Dior Saddle bag and Prada’s Re-Edition, but we also snapped a bunch of unbranded cool carries all around the city (do let us know if you recognize any of them!).

Check out this weeks crop of Bags in the Wild below. Which bags do you love seeing IRL the most?

The dog made me forget about the bags! How cute is she with her little Gucci (?) shoes? Also, I was distracted by the woman smoking because the soles of her shoes look like they were literally melting! 😂

Jan

I think she’s left the protector plastic on 😂😂😂

Patricia Herrera

l into my own judgements, I also try very very hard to have an open mind. Liking luxury purses does not have to make you a snob who judges others. I assure you I can handle a

I love seeing someone smoke! They try to shame people out of doing it, but I find the occational ciggarette life enhancing. Other than that nothing too exciting except for the Gucci Rajah.

Smoking in crowds is quite rude, making everybody participate in your second hand smoke party… why make me die with you

Chris1011

Didn’t you mean, life-reducing?? If you’ve ever known anyone dying from lung cancer, COPD or the many other terminal illnesses smoking causes, you’d not take it so lightly.

Sara

Shocking to see someone smoke. Are the 80s back?

ladyet

lol, what?! 😂

spoiledinseattle

Such a lovely variety of bags!! I can’t help but think about how dirty the feet are of everyone wearing sandals on the streets of New York lol

plinkie

growing up in NY my mom made me wash my feet as soon as I got home if I had sandals on! haha

So, the woman with the Saddle bag got hot and took off her shirt? Love her jeans.
Funny that most of the bags that caught my eye were not identified.

pjhm

Gotta love it- something i often feel like doing when I’m overheated, but never would!

Chris1011

Interesting purses. Clothes, not so much. And did my eyes deceive me, or does that person wearing braids & staring at her phone have a pink ruffled thong peeking out in front of her low-rise jeans? Ugh. Guess no one worries about pickpockets, either, given the number of bags flung over their butts and dangling from the back of chairs.

The black bag in the photo below the Prada Crystal Cleo is from the brand Vasic, it’s either the Ever Mini or Ever Mini Mini!

Vlad Dusil

Thank you Natalie, I’ve added the info!

Nikki

Is that a white bra she was wearing ? 😭

Pjhm

Could be but it was thick enough fabric so you really couldn’t see anything, could Aldo have been a swim suit top?

“ Great … is the bra-less wonder “ Elaine would say

Nikki

The colorful one below the Rajah is from Nordstrom. Mini Links Tote. She prolly put a pink mini bag inside

Dave

From Ibiza with love ❤️. Loewe is gradually conquering the hearts of bag lovers.

I love the pictures with the Dior hobo and the Chanel tote – both look so much loved, clearly the owners wear them all the time without thinking about the brands and status (at least this is how it looks to me). Also love that PB publishes pictures with “mystery bags” so that any reader can “solve the mystery”. Hoping I will one day be able to identify one of these!
