- Spring Fashion
- April 8, 2024
As the seasons change, so do our wardrobes, which means it’s time to shop for some new pieces. With spring in full bloom and summer approaching, we’ve been talking about our favorite clothes and accessories for this time of year. We recently shared the belts you need for spring and summer and our favorite nail polish ideas for summer, and today we’re focusing on summer purses.
Adding a cute purse can instantly elevate any outfit. But not just any purse will do. From chic leather clutches to stylish crossbody bags, and of course, a quintessential summer bag made from straw, we found the best purses to add to your summer wardrobe. Here are ten purses that can complete any outfit this summer.
10 Cute Summer Purses: Elevate Your Look
Straw Purses For Summer
Pamela Munson LaFringe in Natural
Is there any bag more synonymous with summer than the straw bag? Straw bags have been on-trend for decades, but the raffia accessories of today differ quite a bit from the ones carried around in the 70s. Pamela Munson’s La Fleur Fringe is a prime example of a modern, feminine straw purse that you’ll want to carry as often as you can this summer.
The La Fleur Fringe is a straw minaudière adorned with a raffia fringe flower and lined with cotton. A minaudière is a small decorative purse that doesn’t have handles or a strap, although the La Fleur Fringe has an interior gold metal chain shoulder strap.
Small Summer Purses
Naghedi St. Barths Petit Tote In Cashmere
The signature St. Barths Tote, a handwoven neoprene tote, was reimagined (a.k.a shrunk) into this petite-sized purse. Naghedi’s St. Barths Petit Tote is small, but still spacious enough to hold all of your essentials. It has an open top and 3-inch drop handles.
Tory Burch Reva Clutch In New Ivory
The Reva was the must-have bag in the mid-2010s and it’s back. If you ask us, it never left. We love Tory Burch and we adore The Reva in New Ivory. This beautiful, versatile, and timeless leather purse has a removable shoulder strap, magnetic flap closure, and gold-tone hardware.
Crossbody Summer Purses
Lilly Pulitzer Sirena Crossbody In Natural
The Sirena Crossbody Bag from Lilly Pulitzer is perfect for the extra-long days of summer. You can carry it all day long and into the night. It’s made of metallic cork with gold shrunken leather trim and hanging tassel accents.
Quince Italian Leather Quilted Convertible Crossbody In Taupe
The Italian Leather Quilted Convertible Crossbody from Quince has all the features of a lavish designer handbag for a fraction of the price. Italian lamb leather, quilted into a chevron pattern, forms the foundation of this convertible crossbody purse. Its interior features 100% cotton canvas lining, an interior center pocket divider, two slip pockets, and a flap with a magnetic snap closure. Best of all, the strap is adjustable so you can wear it as a shoulder bag or a crossbody. We love it in Dark Taupe.
Leather Summer Purses
Strathberry Crescent On A Chain Lizard Embossed Leather Shoulder Bag
The Crescent On A Chain Lizard Embossed Leather Shoulder Bag from Strathberry is one of our favorite designer summer purses. It’s made of elegant lizard-embossed metallic leather, lined with suede, and can be carried as a clutch or worn over the shoulder with the attached golden chain strap.
Alexis Bittar Ruched Pillow Handbag In Cream
Alexis Bittar’s Ruched Pillow Handbag is an elegant and versatile bag that will instantly elevate any summer outfit. Beautiful leather with a subtle semi-gloss finish constructs this bag, while its semi-structured design features a microsuede lining and metal feet. It showcases 14k gold plated hardware and a removable chain shoulder strap for versatile carrying options. You can get it in black, but we’re partial to the cream.
Reiss Ivy Leather Suede Baguette Bag
The Ivy Leather Suede Baguette Bag from Reiss is the perfect anytime, anywhere purse. It’s made from leather and fine 100% cotton suede. You’ll recognize the gold-plated door knocker hardware (it’s a Reiss signature). It can be carried using the removable plaited carry handle or the adjustable shoulder strap. The taupe color makes it easy to style with any summer outfit.
Colorful Summer Purses
M. Gemi The Francesca Convertible Crossbody In Pink Coral
We love basic pieces, but now and then a statement piece gets our attention. The Francesca Convertible Crossbody from M.Gemi is such a fun, colorful summer purse. It’s made from high-quality Italian leather with cotton lining. It has two interior pockets, including one with a zipper, and a removable and adjustable leather strap. Our favorite feature of The Francesca is the tubular strap that you can loop around your wrist for hands-free carrying. It’s available in nine colors, but the Pink Coral is the perfect hue for a summer purse.
Aimee Kestenberg Zen Convertible Shoulder Bag In Breeze Blue
The Zen Convertible Shoulder from Aimee Kestenberg is another colorful option for summer. You can carry this spacious convertible bag on your shoulder or wear it as a crossbody thanks to its adjustable and removable strap. It has plenty of room for all of your essentials, and several interior pockets to keep them organized. It’s available in four colors, but the Breeze Blue color is our favorite for adding an elegant pop of color to your summer outfit.
