The perennially classic Longchamp Le Pliage gets updated for summer in bright hues, like this lovely thistle blue, and retails for $145 at Nordstrom.
Here's a roomy Old Navy tote that clearly isn't trying to copy the Le Pliage but looks pleasantly reminiscent with it's sturdy canvas build and contrasting faux-leather shoulder straps. Take your pick of blue, black, brown, white, pink or green for just $16.80. Perfect for the beach and back-to-school.
