Gabrielle Union Just Found Summer's Best Under-$300 It Bag

Don't you love a good summer rom-com? I know I do. Gabrielle Union is currently on a stylish press tour promoting her upcoming Netflix movie The Perfect Find, and it sounds like it's right up my alley. Union plays a fashion editor attempting to climb back up the ranks after a high-profile firing. The film doesn't begin streaming until June 23, so Union's press tour outfits will have to tide me over until then.
Photographed in New York City ahead of an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Union wore Marni mismatched prints with a Kate Spade bag and Tiffany Co. jewelry. Of course, I zeroed in on her bag. It's a fantastic starter option if you're ready to start building a designer bag collection. I particularly love how the structured bag complemented her black-and-white color palette.
Plus, Union is not the only celebrity fan of the brand—both Madelyn Cline and Lupita Nyong'o have recently been spotted with other timeless Kate Spade bags. Considering I first coveted a Kate Spade bag 15 years ago and still want one, it's safe to say the brand has some serious longevity. Keep scrolling to shop Gabrielle Union's exact bag before it sells out.
