The Best American Apparel Bags

 

Soft but sleek, the company’s thin, square carry-all made of suede possesses the nonchalant shape and design of a red carpet clutch, though with a more wearable texture. If you like the clean, envelope-reminiscent form of this purse, but prefer a lower price range, you might consider the versatile leather version or even the attention-grabbing patent leather rendition. Each comes in several colors, including both neutrals and neon solid hues.

 

Need some motivation to go work out? You might find the right power accessory in American Apparel’s shiny denim diagonal strap gym bag. Glowing in five different colors like royal blue and apple red, this roomy, glamorous sac will hold all your gear and give you a glamour boost at your spinning class.

 

If you’re seeking a more wearable metallic bag, you might love the “watery” faux leather purse with a futuristically trendy half-moon shape and a convenient shoulder strap. Best of all, the cool, subdued lamé tones of the material eschew ostentation and could be easily matched to diverse color palettes. Another infectiously vibrant shoulder bag, American Apparel’s vinyl laptop bag presents an impish, jewel-toned alternative to the stiff, lifeless laptop cases that our favorite tech tools often inhabit.

 

Perhaps the best of American Apparel’s bag collection, the cotton “LA-Z Girl” model belies its name: it’s one hardworking accessory and has the customer reviews to prove it! A concealed pocket lets you store small, easily lost items like a cell phone or makeup in relative security and organization. Moreover, the expandable design allows you to overstuff a sac that will never resent you for it while the gathered handle bases create a breezy impression. From fiery red to fluorescent purple to demure ivory, the available shades can match just about anyone’s unique fashion sense.

 

Finally, some of the cutest bags from the label also fall into the bargain category. Patterned with classic pink and blue stripes, the brand’s cheapest Emergency Bag folds up into a mini pouch that you can keep in your main handbag. Buy this stylish back-up so that you never have to juggle groceries again.

 

Refuse to grow up with the line of charming and cheap Sesame Street themed book bags. After all, Big Bird was a real role model for getting away with vivid colors and the Count proved that full-length capes make fantastic statement pieces if you wear them with élan. The best bags from American Apparel flaunt the brand’s eclectic spirit that mixes grunge cheekiness with low maintenance staples. Pick the sac that simplifies your life and lets you play.
