Refresh your wardrobe with the best bags to wear this spring/summer 2025:
Fringe
Fringe is having a major moment—again. From boho-chic crossbodies to elevated evening clutches, fringe adds movement, texture and a carefree attitude to any look. This season’s versions come in sleek leathers, soft suedes and unexpected metallics, perfect for festivals or a statement night out.
Raffia
Nothing says summer like raffia. Woven, lightweight, and endlessly versatile, these natural-fibre bags are perfect for beach days, market strolls or al fresco brunch. This season, look for structured shapes, playful colour pops, and artisanal touches that elevate the classic basket bag.
East to West
Meet the silhouette of the season. East-to-west bags—those wider, horizontal shapes—are dominating runways and street style. Chic yet practical, they offer more room than your average mini, and they pair effortlessly with both polished and off-duty looks.
Suede
Suede softens things up for spring, offering a rich texture that feels luxe but laid-back. From slouchy hobos to compact crossbodies, suede bags in earthy neutrals and soft pastels strike the perfect balance between relaxed and refined.
Novelties
Whimsical, bold and a little bit extra, novelty bags are the statement-makers of the season. From quirky shapes (fans and seashells) to unexpected materials and embellishments, these bags are all about having fun and showing off your stylish personality.
Animal Print
Leopard, crocodile, and snakeskin are prowling back into the spotlight, giving even the simplest outfit a fierce edge. Whether you go full pattern or opt for a printed strap or panel, animal print bags are the ultimate way to add personality and punch to your accessories game.
Belted
The easiest way to elevate your everyday bag? Add a belt. Visually, it adds a chic, structured touch—like a cinched waist for your tote. Practically, it allows the bag to expand or contract depending on what your day demands. Even when your bag’s overflowing, the belt makes it feel curated rather than chaotic—turning a daily essential into a quiet luxury statement.
