I'm Calling It: This Anthro Bag Is Going to Be Everywhere This Spring

Ahh...when you find a bag that’s trendy, timeless and roomy enough to fit everything you need for the day—including that new novel you can’t put down—it’s like hitting the jackpot. Case in point, the original Brigitte Satchel by Melie Bianco. Best of all, the over-the-shoulder style *actually* fits underneath your armpit and doesn’t dig in, per customer reviews. Anyone obsessed with organization will love to discover that it features a zippered and slip pocket inside, too.

This beauty even replaced one buyer's go-to handbag: “I was looking for an everyday bag that was big enough [to carry] all my essentials in there (and some extra), but not so big I couldn't take it out to dinner,” she says. “The size is perfect, it's so high-quality and I'm so glad I saved up to get it!”

Hype aside, I’m just obsessed with how slouchy and chic it is. It’s definitely that easy accessory that’ll instantly elevate anything you’re wearing—athleisure included. Plus, it comes in a slew of colors (I’m talking nine total!), from a candy apple red to a butter yellow to a bright blue and gorgeous green I saw dominate the runways during fashion month.

It’s also available to shop in this darling mini version ($108) for anyone who’s looking for something a little more compact and easy to wear every day, when you're carrying only the essentials. But don’t just take my word for it. “It fits everything I need in to it (iPhone 13, card holder, at least three lip products, hand sanitizer [and a] key fob) while looking chic and elevating my everyday, casual outfits,” says one Anthropologie customer. “It also goes well with more fancy outfits. It's the perfect little wristlet or clutch bag for when you want to look put-together and don't need to fuss with a large bag,” they add.

My only qualm is that it doesn’t come in any other colorways beyond this black option (for now, at least), but I’m a firm believer that you can never have too many versatile, black handbags. It’s crafted from the same faux leather of the original style, with the same slouchy shape and weave, giving it that cool, lived-in look. And whether you opt for this chic mini version or the larger, hobo-esque style, there’s no going wrong. Prepare to be ahead of the curve this season.
