Hi! I’ve been looking for a white bag for months now I’ve attached photos of the outfits I’d like to pair it with. Obviously, a white Chanel classic flap would be the answer but I’ve already achieved Chanel purse peace (for this year lol) and refuse to buy an expensive white bag. Can you suggest an alternative? Here are some of the bags I am considering but I know there might be something out there that I’ve missed:

1. Dior Bobby (medium or eastwest) in latte - love this one but scared of the leather

2. YSL small loulou - I think it’s bulky as a shoulder bag?

3. YSL medium envelope - I feel like the gold hardware is too much. Would love something more subtle like lghw

thank you so much in advance
I’m not sure this is allowed but photos are from a clothing shop called cocoblack on ig

I love the latte color of the Bobby but I think that shape/vibe of bag is quite casual, so I don’t think it would go with those more formal outfits as well as other bags. How much do you need to carry? I’m not super familiar with the YSL bags but it seems like you generally prefer a shoulder bag style?

What about a mini Fendi peekaboo? I think that’s an pretty elegant shape but fun and youthful in the smaller size

eta ignore my recommendations, I agree with @Christofle! I think the Bulgari would
bring a fun but complementary edge to the style examples you showed

I feel that about the medium bobby but not so much with the east-west. I’m a mom of 2 and carry a ton but I can do a mini bag for my essentials + bigger bag for my kids’ stuff. But if I can hit 2 birds with one bag lol I would but it’s been impossible to find a bag like that. I did buy a brown Fendi xlite recently. It looks formal enough + can carry everythinggg

Or the Delvaux Tempête in ivory with white hardware.

Tempête MM | Delvaux

Created in 1967, the Tempête was inspired by a sailboat’s trapeze at a time when sailing was all the vogue off Belgium’s glamorous North Sea coast. Designed with graphic lines and distinctive jewel-like metal studs, the Tempête has become one of Delvaux’s most emblematic bags.
