The All-American Girl: A Ralph Lauren Bag for Every Region

From sea to shining sea, American women roam in search of the perfect leather handbag. But look no further than Ralph Lauren, who knows American women best. An iconic designer, he built his brand on creating quality clothing centered around the quintessential American woman.

No need to climb to the purple mountain tops or cross amber waves of grain to find the leather bag you’re looking for. We’ve broken it down by region to figure out what style will best suit you.

Pacific Northwest

While you can’t claim you were carrying Ralph Lauren before it was cool—because this heritage brand has quite a long and successful history—you can have one that has the vintage style you love without the old handbag smell. Throw on a leather satchel with a classic feel that will compliment your thrift store sweater.

Midwest

When you know the value of a day’s work, you’ll want to pinch your hard-earned pennies for a bag that’s as practical and down to earth as you. A neutral hue, like brown, will make this bag your go-to for wearing with your sweaters in the frigid winter or with jean shorts and camis in the sweltering summer. And when you invest in a quality leather, it will only get better with age.

South

Southern belles live big. Bigger cars, bigger bangs, bigger smiles—so you need a bag that can pull its own weight. A large tote is a no brainer, but you’ll also want one that’s not short on personality, so opt for a bold, bright color like red. Accentuate your larger-than-life style when you accentuate your bag by wearing matching red lipstick.

North East

Whether you are living in New York City or just within reaching distance, the fashion capital’s style is bound to have an effect on your wardrobe. If your closet is full of all-black-everything with an emphasis on blazers and boots, then you need a bag that will be your carry-all you can wear-with-all: a structured black bag. Keep it polished with bold gold embellishments.

West Coast

A free spirit through and through, your sunny personality is only matched by your region’s weather. From your colorful maxi dresses to your long golden locks, you’ll want a bag that’s as carefree as your bohemian style. Pick up a bag that picks up on your easygoing attitude with a crossbody with fun fringe.

If a quality leather handbag by Ralph Lauren isn’t the epitome of the American dream, then we don’t know what is. Pick the one that is perfect for you and you’ll pledge to never go back to boring bags.

These bags give a salute to your regions style.
