When looking for a new bag for fall, consider one that takes some creative inspiration right out of the forest. Camouflage is timelessly cool, and incredibly wearable when used as the core fabric of your new favorite tote. Captain Fin, Burton, Nixon and Vans have all released modern bags with varying stylized camouflage patterns.
If you’re into something a little brighter, we recommend a bright orange that will give your look a standout accessory, and keep you highly visible. Or if understated is your preferred focus, try a beige/taupe version, like the Gabi by HelloLuLu or the Explorer Camp Collection Backpack by Element.
