I'm always looking to celebs for inspo on summer fashion—I mean, how could I not when everyone from Taylor Swift to Zendaya's wearing trends like tenniscore and chic summer shoes? And recently, Gabrielle Union caught my eye when she carried the surprisingly spacious *and* affordable mini Chrystie handbag ($268) from Fréja New York—which just launched for everyone to shop today.

Fréja New York Mini Chrystie Bag
@lexmcfarlane
The handbag was designed as a fresh twist on the elongated shoulder bag styles of the '90s, according to the brand, and I can totally see Carrie Bradshaw adding it to her collection. It has a sleek, yet unique look that will stand out from the crowd while still complimenting everything from a simple jeans and tee outfit to a wedding guest dress.
The mini Chrystie is made from Fréja's custom pebbled vegan leather that's lightweight, water-resistant *and* scratch-proof, so you really can bring it everywhere. Plus, to save on space, it has two built-in card slots, so you can leave your bulky wallet behind. Not to mention, it has a convenient key clip and easy magnetic closure—Freja really thought of everything with this one.
Personally, I've been counting down the days until this chic bag was available to shop—so you know I already have one in my cart—but I have a feeling it's going to sell *fast* with celebs like Union already as fans of the style, so don't wait if you want to scoop one up for yourself.
Fréja New York Caroline Bag
@lexmcfarlane
If you aren't already sold on Fréja, know that Hailey Bieber has been spotted carrying the Caroline bag from the brand, too. This one has a slightly larger size, making it a great option for everyday wear, and is made of the same custom vegan leather as the Chrystie. As for the interior, this one has a slip pocket and convenient key clip so there's no risk of them sliding out.
It's also designed without any hardware, so you can don it whether you're a gold or silver jewelry gal, and the flap can either be worn outside or inside to easily switch up its style. Considering how versatile this one is, it's perfect pick to add to your collection to wear for years to come.
