Welcome to the endless summer season!
As we prepare for the much-needed summer vacations, attend our close friends’ summer weddings, or simply spend more quality time with our loved ones, having the perfect summer bag for every occasion is only essential.
From beach totes to elegant wedding clutches, there is no shortage of stylish options for the season. However, choosing which type of bag to carry is only one part of the equation, because there are other details to consider, from materials and colours to designs and embellishments. After all, you wouldn't want to commit a fashion faux pas while flaunting your cool summer bags.
With that in mind, here is the ultimate MAYFEYR guide to choosing the perfect designer summer bags for unforgettable summercore memories.
Statement Totes
Is there any summer bag more iconic than the statement totes?
These oversized, practical, and stylish handbags are excellent summer accessories and travel companions because they act as the ultimate chameleons for most types of events, from a fun day on the beach or sailing on a yacht to attending a stylish yet laid-back brunch or coffee meet-up.
But here are the crucial details to consider. Always opt for lightweight and easy-to-clean materials, such as canvas and high-quality leather totes for stylish choices. For the brands, you can never go wrong with Saint Laurent’s Rive Gauche or Balenciaga’s Le City tote bag, both of which have achieved cult status among fashion lovers.
Raffia Bags
Over the years, we have seen a surge of raffia-based bags from numerous luxury fashion houses, making them the ultimate summer staple.
Made from the leaves of the raffia palm, this natural fibre has a long-standing history in weaving traditions and textiles. While raffia bags are a familiar concept in Asian countries, more and more coveted brands are now pushing these types of bags. Thanks to their visually pleasing aesthetic that reminds us of the French Riviera and beach getaways, raffia bags are also lightweight and easy to carry during the hot weather. But, among all reasons, perhaps why raffia bags are the summer "it" choice is due to their neutral, earthy tones, which serve as the perfect blank canvas for any wardrobe.
Looking for trendy designer raffia bags? You have plenty of options, including Loewe’s exceptional Cala and Eclipse lines, their beloved Font tote, or even Prada and Valentino’s sophisticated pieces. There is a wide range of raffia bags for everyone, and yes, that includes gents too.
Colour-pop Clutches
The summer season is not only synonymous with luxury getaways, but also with jubilant ceremonies and occasions, from weddings and birthdays to graduations. And what type of handbag is better suited than the ever-chic clutches?
But here is the catch. Since it is officially a bright summer season, you can always go for a more colourful pop with your clutches. From red tones to cool sage and warm yellow, luxury fashion houses have delivered an exceptional roster of fabulous clutches for the summer. If you want to up the ante, you can always go for heavier embellishments, like crystals and bedazzled details, or pick clutches made from satin and velvet to add that extra oomph.
We can say with confidence that you will always stand out carrying a Roger Vivier clutch, while Christian Louboutin’s myriad evening bags are a classy investment to your collection.
Curved Shoulder Bags
With the resurgence of compact yet stylish curved shoulder handbags, like the beloved Prada’s Cleo and Re-Edition lines, this summer there is nothing more trendy than carrying a curved shoulder bag.
These curved shoulder bags not only stand out for their unique silhouettes, but they are also practical to carry, come with spacious interiors, and are easy to style with almost any kind of outfit.
Take The Row’s Half Moon bag, for instance, which has been championed by many A-list celebrities, or classic pieces like the Gucci Jackie that will elevate any casual outfit. The curved shoulder bags are here to stay!
