You’ve got the perfect summer dress, the prettiest on-trend trinkets, and found your ultimate sunscreen for the season. But what about your hold-all for balmy weekends under the sun? Hot summer days demand for easy yet eye-catching arm candy, and Vogue Arabia’s edit of must-have bags has something for just about everybody.
Raffia always emerges as a hot weather hit, so why not invest in Marni’s ‘X No Vacancy’ tote, or dive into bold hues with Rabanne’s red bucket bag and Kate Spade’s statement-maker in blue and green? Moynat’s structured wicker number also makes a strong case for summery weaves, as does the sweet Rania basket bag over at Rouje.
No summer wardrobe is truly complete without a bag that can carry the world in it — cue Chloé’s linen canvas number, complete with color pop handles, and Soleil’s personalized tweed creations, which come in a myriad of hues. More of a neutrals kind of girl? You can’t miss out on Cult Gaia’s mustard-accent tote, and Dragon Diffusion’s creamy brown leather stunner.
A little drama goes a long way, and if you’re ready to make some noise this summer, keep your eyes open for Staud’s beautifully beaded swimming pool bag, or the Simon Miller x Mango bag in mango yellow. Maje’s tasseled crimson bag promises to make a bold statement, while Bottega Veneta’s lilac Sardine handbag will stand the test of time.
