With the arrival of warmer weather, we not only change our wardrobe, but also our accessories. And if there's one accessory that defines our summer look, it's the handbag. So today, we want to answer a question many people ask themselves as the summer season begins: what handbags are in fashion this summer?
Handbag trends to wear this summer
This summer, handbags aren't just about turning heads; they're also about making our lives more comfortable. That's why the trend is centered around designs that combine aesthetics and functionality , with natural materials, versatile styles, and distinctive details.
Sisal baskets: the kings of summer in all their versions
If there's one style that deserves its own chapter in summer trends, it's the sisal tote bag . This timeless classic is making a strong comeback—although it never really left—establishing itself as one of this summer's must-have bags.
Sisal , a natural, durable , and lightweight fiber, is ideal for warm climates and relaxed yet sophisticated looks. It also adapts to a variety of formats, allowing us to enjoy its charm in any setting.
Small baskets
Small sisal tote bags are perfect for those looking to carry just the essentials: phone, sunglasses, wallet, sunscreen, and little else. Their compact size makes them the ideal accessory for casual outings, an afternoon on the boardwalk, or an impromptu after-beach getaway.
Large baskets
On the other hand, those who don't want to give up space find their best ally in the large beach bag . With room for a towel, water bottle, book, and even a change of clothes, these bags are both functional and aesthetically striking.
We can safely say that the large sisal basket is the ideal solution for those seeking a natural, casual, and elegant style. Plus, its rigid structure makes it easier to organize everything we carry.
Carrycot with zipper
A detail that's becoming a must-have this year for carrycots is the zipper closure . This small but important change responds to a real need: to feel that our belongings are secure , especially when we're carrying valuables or moving through crowded environments.
This season's zippered tote bags retain their handcrafted feel but add functionality without losing charm. And that's where we see how fashion adapts to our real lives.
Shoulder bag
Who said a carrycot bag is only carried in your hand or on your shoulder? This summer, crossbody models are gaining ground. They're lightweight, practical, and allow for freedom of movement. Whether for walking, cycling, or shopping, this crossbody version of the carrycot bag is one of the year's biggest revelations.
With a bohemian and natural feel, it adapts to both casual styles and more urban looks.
Other bags that are worn this summer
While the tote bag is the star, there are other trends that deserve our attention. Let's see what else is in style this season:
Mini bags
Mini bags are still on the rise. Although they're small, they have a significant impact. They're worn as decorative pieces or for occasions where all you need is your keys and phone. In natural materials or bright colors, they're ideal for more sophisticated looks.
Quilted and textured bags
Inspired by the runways, embossed, quilted, and braided bags are also on the radar. Although their aesthetic is more urban, many summer versions incorporate fresh fabrics or pastel colors that make them suitable for the season.
Bags in vibrant colors
Summer is all about color, and that's also reflected in handbags. From citrus hues like orange and yellow to green and turquoise, bags are bursting with vitality. Perfect for livening up a neutral look or for playing with bold combinations.
So if you're looking for a bag that will accompany you through your best summer moments, that reflects your lifestyle, and that also aligns with more conscious consumption, the tote bag is your best choice.
