Summer bags
Every summer brings its share of iconic pieces, but if there's one accessory that sets the tone for an outfit, it's the handbag. This season, it oscillates between artisanal craftsmanship, retro touches, and bright palettes. Here's a sharp selection of models that perfectly capture the summer spirit.
The return of weaving: between heritage and modernity
It's impossible to miss woven bags. True symbols of summer, they immediately evoke Mediterranean markets and seaside holidays.
Ralph Lauren's Bellport Woven Leather Satchel reinterprets this classic with a more sophisticated approach thanks to woven leather. An elegant piece that reminds us that weaving is not only artisanal but can also be resolutely luxurious.
In a bolder vein, Vipera's Crudella Zig Zag Orange Cognac Pink brings an explosion of colors. This type of bag has its roots in traditional Latin American basketry techniques, where each pattern tells a story unique to the region.
Finally, Petite Mendigote's Sunday Bag embodies perfect simplicity: a light and timeless raffia bag. Fun fact: raffia has been used for centuries in Madagascar to make textiles and accessories, proof of its durability and natural charm.
Fresh tones: blue as a must-have
Summer is also the season for calming colors. And this year, blue stands out as an obvious choice.
Ralph Lauren's Play Small Blue adopts a minimalist and modern silhouette. The bucket bag, popularized in the 1930s by Louis Vuitton for carrying champagne, is now a daily essential.
MaxMara's Prati Blue, with its flexible shape and jeweled clasp, is part of the "soft luxury" trend. It harks back to vintage clutches of the 1950s, where elegance was synonymous with discretion.
For its part, Staud's Tommy Beaded Bag plays on detail. The beads and patterns evoke the handmade bags of the 1960s, very present in the seaside resorts of the French Riviera at the time.
The summer bag: a story of lightness
What distinguishes a summer bag is not only its design but also what it evokes: lightness, freedom, and a certain carefree attitude.
From natural materials to vibrant colors, each model tells a story: that of craftsmanship, an era, or a journey. Whether you prefer minimalist chic or bold pieces, the bag is undoubtedly the element that will transform your summer look.
