VTG Shopping Guide: Summer bag love, Equestrian style

Ah, at last, spring is finally upon us. 

 Lately I've been loving vintage bags with equestrian details i.e. hardware, leather, canvas in neutral tones such as tan, beige, brown and so on... They remind me of being outside which is what the spring/summer season is all about. Here is what I'm thinking style wise when it comes to incorporating an equestrian bag into an outfit:
