Shop Sandy Liang x Baggu’s Second Drop
The cultural phenomenon of Sandy Liang’s last Baggu collection cannot be understated.

The New York–based, Chinese-American designer first partnered with the eco-friendly apparel brand in 2023. The initial go-around was a hit, selling out in mere minutes after being embraced by younger audiences drawn to Liang’s kitschy, early 2000s aesthetic: translated into pieces that were more fashion than function. The Sandy Liang x Baggu debut consisted of dreamy items like blue nylon shoulder bags adorned with bows and sweet-as-pie canvas totes, a fabric Baggu doesn’t typically utilize, emblazoned with both collaborators’ names on the front.
This summer, the fashion creative has reunited with Baggu to launch a line that does the exact opposite of its predecessor — putting utility at the forefront while still maintaining the whimsical nature that’s quickly become a Liang signature. Bag options are more spacious and thus better suited for around-the-clock wear, while featuring adjustable or attachable straps for changing things up on the fly.
You likely already have a myriad of Baggu styles in your closet, but none are as practical as these.
We’ve rounded up a few of our top picks from the collection that you can shop right now. Do it fast or forever regret not scoring these modern-day, It-girl-approved signifiers of good taste.
Best Sandy Liang x Baggu Accessories
Sandy Liang x Baggu Medium Nylon Crescent Bag
Price upon publish date of this article: $64
The smaller bags unveiled in Liang’s original Baggu release were tiny and meant for over-the-shoulder wear. Their strap lengths couldn’t be adjusted, leaving some shoppers craving more universal styles that could be slung across the body for hands-free convenience.
The duo reflected this feedback by rolling out a $64 Medium Nylon Crescent Bag, boasting one of Baggu’s most popular shapes (not to mention sizes). The new-and-improved model, gloriously, benefits from a strap you can play around with to fit every body type and preference. Because if a bag doesn’t work with your needs in mind, is it even worth the buy?
The Crescent serves as an everyday staple with a roomy main compartment that can hold must-haves like your phone, wallet, and keys, along with heftier objects such as water bottles or digital cameras. The gingham-inspired floral pattern here has graced Liang’s Baggu arrivals of yore, but this time it treats fans to a cheery pink colorway ideal for the season at hand. You can expect this instant bestseller to add flair to all your quiet-luxury ensembles this summer, from jeans-and-tee combos to chic linen shirtdresses.
We would be remiss if we didn’t highlight the collection’s nylon construction, seen throughout every selection. The ripstop fabric is a Baggu mainstay, primarily because of its longevity: letting bags undergo a major beating and still come out unscathed. The nylon’s also water-repellent and, unlike leather, doesn’t flake, crease, or chip with age.
Sandy Liang x Baggu Cloud Carry-On
Price upon publish date of this article: $96
Looking to upgrade your grocery tote? The Sandy Liang x Baggu Cloud Carry-On gets its name from that weightless, cloud-like composition — something that will save you from unnecessary back pain in the long run. Retailing for under $100, it’s sizable enough to store large essentials like a laptop (nestled into an all-new computer pocket) or your farmers market splurge for the week.
Even better? Take the Cloud with you on every flight from hereon out, keeping travel tchotchkes like headphones, novels, and, dare we suggest, portable LED masks within easy reach. Furthermore, the tote’s trolley sleeve will effortlessly prop it up atop a suitcase while saving you from having to juggle everything at the airport, and the zipper closure will grant extra protection against potential pick-pocketing (or your own carelessness).
Sandy Liang x Baggu Go Pouch Set
Price upon publish date of this article: $54
Liang’s line also offers a solution for clutter, what with the above Go Pouch Set. The small, medium, and large trio is a sort of Russian-doll situation that you can stow neatly in your luggage or weekender bag. The color-happy organizers are the ultimate salve for messy bag interiors, putting items where they belong (finally) and helping even the Type B among us keep track of their valuables.
Case in point: The bunny-printed pouch can be used for cosmetics or feminine hygiene products, while that plaid baggie could easily house your AirPods case. The largest of the three might moonlight as a lunchbox, meanwhile, or a repository for all those cords and chargers you possess. Their diverse yet compatible prints are exclusive to this capsule, meaning they weren’t utilized in Liang’s previous design endeavors and likely won’t be seen again. You know what to do.
Sandy Liang x Baggu Standard Baggu Set of 3
Price upon publish date of this article: $54
Finally, we want you to get acquainted with Baggu and Liang’s Standard Baggu Set. Made up of three reusable bags folded into little squares and tucked in a single drawstring carrier, this sustainable buy can be unfolded at a moment’s notice when you’re done thrifting or wish to skip the plastic bag fee at the store. Tiny but mighty, each bag can carry heavy bulk like wine bottles or milk cartons without noticeable wear and tear — a testament to just how impressively durable nylon is.
