The bag that is all over Instagram is by Cult Gaia. Gaia’s Ark, as its named, resembles a vintage Japanese picnic purse. This bag is stunning – its architectural structure and rounded bottom makes it perfect to liven up literally any outfit. It was perfect for a day at the beach
Outfit deets:
Necklace: Purchased in the Dominican Republic and made of larimar (Similar HERE)
Dress: Tularosa (Similar HERE)
Shoes: Zara (Similar HERE)
My ย bag was a birthday gift (read: requested gift – thanks, boo!) that I finally received after being waitlisted for 2 months. Luckily, it came in the mail just in time to enjoy all summer long! The bag is currently on preorder on Cult Gaia’s site and pretty much sold out everywhere else, BUT I found some dupes on Etsy! Even more good news- these dupes are more affordable! Check out the “Shop The Post” section below to shop Gaia’s Ark dupes, and some more bamboo purses, on Etsy.
