At Hotels Above Par, our editors are everywhere—when one returns from Ravello the next is off to St. Barths. But, we connect in the city and aspire to stay professionally-chic in-between. So, we need handbags that we can carry and style from the Meatpacking District to Majorca. Think: denim clutches, vibrant green shoulder bags, beige totes, and fringe carry-alls.

Capri
Denim is a summer neutral that complements almost any summer style. This bag is versatile and transitional—it’s a clutch and a shoulder bag in one. As a pivot from the black, gray, and nude mainstays that we resort to back in New York City, it also completed every vacation look. So, I styled it from aperitivo to the latest night club in the town square in the destination hot spot of the season. By Leya Kaufman
Majorca
From the beach and pool to elegant island dinners, this cream-hued tote, equipped with two detachable straps, is perfect for every occasion. Crafted from polished neoprene fabric with a handwoven design, it subtly adds a chic touch to any outfit; plus, it comes with a mini clutch and wristlet, making it versatile for day-to-night transitions. Its lightweight and easy-to-clean texture made it effortless to carry, whether I was hiking down to a scenic beach cove or taking it along to dinner. By Britney Eschelman
New York
In between the crowds and chaos, as a seasoned New Yorker I love to elevate a black coat or navy set with an unexpected jolt of color. So, from the West Village to Westchester, I’ll be sporting a bright clutch against monochromatic uniforms all fall. By mid-September, some might call it dopamine dressing—but any handbag that channels happiness is a style statement to ascribe to every season. By Leya Kaufman
Ravello
This is a bag that can take you from the boat to the beach. It will look chic in every photo and last for years of vacationing. In handwoven neoprene fabric, unlike straw or leather, it’s durable and versatile with multiple pockets and a zip-closure. So, I carried it from Ravello to a boat day at sea with ease. As a bonus, it lays flat when packed and takes up less than an inch in my suitcase. By Leya Kaufman
