The Art of the Summer Bag

There's something inherently considered about a summer bag—it’s a statement of season, mood, and escape. Whether shaped from raffia, straw, mesh, or wood, these warm-weather carryalls are as much about texture and tone as they are about utility. 

This edit celebrates the craftsmanship behind the pieces we reach for when the weather warms and our wardrobes lighten. From the sculptural charm of a mango wood clutch by Marlies Grace to the timeless luxury of the Loewe Flamenco in woven raffia, these bags speak in the language of artisanal design and sunny days ahead—and not without a wink to icons like Jane Birkin, who knew the power of a basket and a bare shoulder.
