Take the weight off for spring! A big, perforated bag is breezy, breathable, and easygoing. All those delicate cutouts lighten the load and relax the mood, adding as much interest as a pattern but with complete neutrality. Just a touch of open-air texture brings a sense of fresh wonderment to classic bags.
