Is it just me or is the anticipation for spring especially intense this year? Here in Los Angeles, we've been stuck in fake spring, where one week it's sunny and warm and the next, it's pouring rain. And if I'm feeling this way in L.A., I can only imagine how New Yorkers are handling it. I recently caught up with two NYC-based fashion girls, Hannah Krohne and Kristel Kalm, who are already in full-on spring mode and curating their seasonal wardrobes for all the plans they have lined up.
For them, weekends in the city are a given, along with the occasional out-of-town escapade as the weather warms up. But no matter where they're headed, one accessory is coming with them: The Longchamp Le Roseau Bag. This style is the perfect blend of fashion and function, featuring a range of silhouettes—from extra-large totes to sleek crossbody bags—that seamlessly fit into any wardrobe. Lucky for me (and you), Krohne and Kalm sent over some major styling inspiration, pairing the must-have bag with effortlessly chic pieces from the iconic French brand's ready-to-wear collection. Keep scrolling for their looks, and get ready to be transported to sunnier days.
If anyone has mastered minimalist chic, it's Kristel Kalm. Originally from Scandinavia, she makes everything look good—trust me, I've never seen an outfit miss. "I love clean silhouettes and a neutral base, but I always find ways to play with color and prints—especially during spring and summer," she explains. Kalm was on the hunt for pieces that fit the bill and along came the Longchamp Le Roseau bag. "The Le Roseau bag perfectly blends elegance with a feminine touch. I'm drawn to its sleek, structured shape. And the pop of yellow? It's like a breath of fresh air for spring and adds a playful contrast to my more minimalist looks." Kalm wasn't afraid to lean into her love of mixing colors and prints. The scarf tied around the bag's handles and the Longchamp gingham dress she paired it with were both *chef's kiss.* This is an outfit she'll wear everywhere. "This look is perfect for a weekend city stroll, a brunch date, or a spring picnic in the countryside. It's easy, polished, and versatile—everything I want in a warm-weather outfit. The bag is the ideal size to carry my essentials while making a statement with its bold color and unique detailing."
While we all hope for sunshine during spring, they say April showers bring May flowers. And content creator Hannah Krohne is prepared. "Rain boots are a spring necessity," Krohne says. "But so are white shorts and gingham!" I love how she combined these core staples seamlessly. "I would describe my personal style as effortlessly cool," she explains. "Most of my outfits are very simple and consist of timeless pieces that I can style in a million different ways—like this black sweater and white shorts for instance." As for the "cool" part? Accessories, accessories, accessories. "I love purchasing a unique statement piece here and there." And the Longchamp Le Roseau bag was just that. "I was drawn to the bag because of the gingham print and the gold hardware," she says. "While these elements make it an immediate eye-catcher, it can still be styled with any spring outfit because of how elegant and neutral it is."
