Prada’s Crochet Tote Bag (circa 2020) and Loewe’s Basket Bag (circa 2019) thankfully remain worthy investment pieces we dust off every summer. Add into the mix this season’s summer it-bags, which sees designers such as Miu Miu, Dior and Chloé championing everything from raffia bags to beach bags and statement tassel styles, it’s safe to say we are spoilt for choice.

If you are seeking practical summer bags to take travelling, outside of backpacks or weekender bags, then you may prefer to use a large straw tote bag, a sporty canvas bag, or a Mary Poppins-inspired basket bag as your hand luggage. That way you can also use them throughout your trip or holiday, and as a summer-ready work bag when you return. Oh, how we love a multi-functional accessory!

Wedding guest bags can also be fun, summery and bright as opposed to traditional and classic. We’ve seen some great seashell-inspired designs as well as sequined options from the best online clothing brands so far.

Here are the best summer bags on our wishlist this season…
