Of course, that means wading through literally hundreds of new arrivals to figure out what’s what. To help you along, we searched high and low to find the new spring bags that deserve a home in your closet the most. Check them out below, starting at $295.

Anya Hindmarch Ebury Maxi Tote
$2,295 via LUISAVIAROMA

Anya Hindmarch’s cheeky bags have been selling at an impressive clip, and even if you’re not into an all-over comic book look, this is a beautiful, functional option that toes the line between fun literalism and traditional luxury.

Bottega Veneta Nappa and Intrecciato Tote
$4,400 via LUISAVIAROMA

We named this tote the Bag of the Week recently, and since then, our love for its interesting details and construction has only grown.

Chloé Faye Shoulder Bag
$1,950 via LUISAVIAROMA

Almost any bag from Chloé’s Spring 2015 collection could have been justifiably included on this list; the brand is absolutely killing it right now. We chose this one because it was the standout from the Chloé runway.

Coach Swagger 20 Mini Bag
$350 via Coach

Coach’s fashionable transformation continues to forge ahead, and the brand’s newest bag, the Swagger, is particularly cute in this petite size.

Dolce & Gabbana Monica Shoulder Bag
$1,975 via SSENSE

The Monica comes in a few different versions, but this clean-lined one in sky blue can be carried as both a top-handle and a shoulder bag.

Fendi Petite 3Jours Tote
$2,457 via MATCHESFASHION.COM

Fendi has a strong lineup in general right now, but the not-too-petite Petite 3Jours is so perfectly angular that I’d love to carry it every day.

Givenchy Easy Tote
$1,295 via Bergdorf Goodman

The Easy is a slept-on design from Givenchy; it’s distinctive but still functional, and it’s not so widely carried that everyone will immediately know what you’re carrying. Best of all, it’s significantly less expensive than Givenchy’s other day bags.

Gucci Jackie Soft Suede Shoulder Bag
$2,300 via Gucci

The Jackie Soft collection was one of the industry’s most impressive design debuts last season, and this version makes the bag feel a little more casual for spring.

Loeffler Randall Mini Rider bag
$425 via Bloomingdale’s

If your personal style isn’t aggressively feminine but you still like the idea of a floral, this bag’s a solid bet; it’s pretty and painterly without being overly sweet.

Mansur Gavriel Large Canvas Bucket Bag
$445 via Barneys

The Mansur Gavriel product line is, by design, limited and tightly edited. The brand introduced canvas bags for the first time for spring, and it brings a slightly preppy note to the popular bucket bag.

Marc Jacobs Big Trouble Shoulder Bag
$3,200 via Net-a-Porter

The more I look at the Trouble bags, the more I like them. This one is as sophisticated as it gets.

Mark Cross Grace Python Bag
$3,950 via Net-a-Porter

Mark Cross’ bags tend toward traditionalism, but this foray into exotics works out quite well.

MCM Milla Tote
$1,920 via LUISAVIAROMA

MCM is better known for its super-trendy monogram bags, but this plain leather version feels grown up without being too stiff.

Nina Ricci Marché Shoulder Bag
$1,575 via SSENSE

While the Marché tote is perfectly nice, this new shoulder bag take on the line is the clear winner of the group.

Paula Cademartori has gained a cult following among industry insiders, and now that her detailed, colorful bags are finding their way to more retailers, expect to see even more from this young brand.

Proenza Schouler Bucket Bag
$1,425 via Nordstrom

If you’re someone who wears a lot of black, this is the perfect summer bag for you–it’s light enough to act as a nod to the warm weather but will still mesh well with your summer blacks.

Rebecca Minkoff MAB Backpack
$295 via ShopBop

If you want to get in on the backpack trend without blowing your entire wardrobe budget, this bag is easily the best way to do it. The simple design and dove grey leather make it look far more expensive than it is.

Sophie Hulme Mini Bucket Bag
$907 via MATCHESFASHION.COM

This is Sophie’s first move away from the structured little totes and envelope bags for which she’s known, and it’s a strong step indeed.

If you need to tell everyone around you that you have flawless taste this spring, this is the bag to do it with.

Valentino Eye On You Bucket Bag
$2,175 via Bergdorf Goodman

This bag is a step away from the uber-successful Rockstuds for Valentino, but the coral color and easy, casual bucket shape make it a spring no-brainer.
