Summer is Here! And These are The Most-Wanted Bags of The Season

Yes, the sun is here! And that means it’s time to get ready for summer in style. So, let’s start the season with bags that add character and practicality – rather than being just a mere finishing touch to your outfits. From the return of bucket bags to the dominance of oversized totes, from envelope clutches to extravagant bijoux bags, the summer of 2024 offers a fascinating blend of functionality, nostalgia, and creativity to the ongoing bag scene with quite a few bags destined for the cult status for the season (and the year!) – like Alaïa Le Teckel and Jacquemus Le Petite Calino.

With the overarching theme of practicality and sophistication, bags are bringing in the same playful energy with more elevated aesthetics for the summer – case in point: woven bags with intricate patterns and textures with straw, leather, raffia, and velvet to bring in that easy, breezy vibes day and night i.e., Cult Gaia Sybil woven rattan bag, Loeffler Randall Aviva woven velvet clutch, and Bottega Veneta Hop. And then there are the top-handle purses and briefcases, twisting the corporate-core energy into something feminine, fabulous, and tough. We sure are ready to embrace this classic-cool summer bag style with Versace croc-effect Medusa’95 Mini, Gianvito Rossi Valì mini leather tote, and Gabo Guzzo Millefoglie J. In case, your summer style highlights bold blooms and bijoux, Gucci Jackie (with floral crystal sleeve handcrafted in India), Clio Peppiatt shell & pearl twill tote, and Burberry Rose clutch would be your definite wardrobe favourites after all, nothing beats the shimmering crystals and dramatic florals in the glow of the sun.

Practical or playful, minimal or maximal – whatever your summer bag style may be, there will always be an oversized tote to fulfil all your summer needs with a side of striking chicness, like The Row Margaux and Ferragamo Hug Tote. And if pared-back elegance is your ultimate fashion statement, indulge in the phenomenal return of envelope clutches and bucket bags with Tom Ford Nobile clutch, Tann-ed woven foldover clutch, Anita Dongre Pichhwai bucket bag, and Prada Re-Edition 1978 bucket bag for an effortless and refined sartorial impact.
