Bags for Your Recreational Habits
So much of our style inspiration comes from the Recreational Habits we enjoy ourselves—from the elegant physiques of equestrian sports to the playful colors of leisurely outdoor events. Achieving great style is always easier when we have the right accessories to complement our outfits. And, the most functional category of accessories is the bag, of course. Below you’ll find our favorites, meant to complete our very own RH looks.
By now, we all know of the iconic Dior Saddle Bag. Everyone from Beyoncé to Carrie Bradshaw has been spotted carrying one of these around. This highly-coveted equestrian-inspired bag is not the first or last of its kind, though.
If you’re looking for a more sustainable, sleek, and affordable option, consider the Atom Nappa Bag 8+ by Atomy Studios. Each of these saddle bags is custom-made in Poland. You can customize yours by choosing between blue, black, and tan leathers; gold or silver hardware; and your favorite of their four handle and strap designs.
Are you a loyal spectator at your city’s basketball games? Feel nostalgia for the varsity football games you attended as a member of your high school’s marching band? A die-hard FIFA fanatic (or gamer)? It’s By Willa, based in the UK, turns basketballs, footballs, and soccer balls into unique handbags! This is the perfect accessory for you to wear to the tailgates, and a thoughtful gift for someone who not only has a passion for sports but also for fashion. If you can’t find the team you’re looking for on their site, shoot them an email or a DM for a custom order.
Perhaps you’re a more feminine fan and take dressing up for an event seriously. The “COURT” Clutch will help you stand out during your promenades around the US Open courts, or when you’re sipping cocktails while watching the gentlemen play at the Club. This Mme.MINK pick is available for preorder until its release in March.
If you’re an athlete yourself and don’t want to carry your racquet in a boring cover like everyone else at the courts, look no further than Tory Burch’s T Monogram Jacquard Tennis Bag. You won’t have to worry about your personal items damaging your tennis racquet, and you’ll feel confident about your game even before you start to play.
If you prefer to spend your time at the links or range, there’s a Golf Ball Bag in the same Monogram Jacquard.
Are you ever at a picnic or the beach and struggling to carry both your personal bag and a heavy Igloo? Lilly Pulitzer’s Insulated Cooler is your compromise! The pockets make it easy for you to separate your personal items from your food and beverages. In fact, it might be a good idea to keep any beauty products like lip balm, sunscreen, and after sun in the cooler section to keep them from spoiling in the sun. Keep an eye on their site for new prints!
