Rihanna Has Herself a New Under-$500 It Bag
There are people who prefer to wear whatever outfit everyone else is wearing right now, and then there's Rihanna. Last night, RiRi was photographed leaving her Fenty Beauty launch event in London wearing a full-on yellow outfit (a color that couldn't possibly be more on trend right now). And by full-on, we mean sunglasses, dress, shoes, and bag. Speaking of the bag, are you familiar with the new brand Medea? If not, you're about to be because Rihanna clearly approves.
The Milan-based brand's shopping bag–inspired totes started trending on Instagram last summer, and they've now reached full-on It-bag status. One of the best things about the minimalist totes is that they have quite a reasonable price point for an It bag. While some sizes and finishes are over $500, Rihanna's particular mini version comes in under. Thanks to her approval, we fully expect the bags to start selling out any day now, especially as warmer weather approaches. They're the perfect alternative to beach straw totes this time of year.
