Heads Up: These Cult Bags Are Now 10x Easier to Buy
You've already seen Susan Alexandra's colorful beaded bags all over Instagram, and now Shopbop is making it easier than ever to get your hands on the cult accessory. The designer's own website indicates that the bags may take over a month to ship because they're handmade with over 300 beads, but Shopbop has a limited stock of bags you can get ASAP—so what are you waiting for?
Jeanne Damas, Alexa Chung, and Harley Viera Newton are just some of the It girls who love the made-in-the-USA bags, which are begging to tag along on your next vacation (or just your commute to work). Scroll down to see our favorite Susan Alexandra 'grams and shop the bags on Shopbop.
Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
