When the sun is out and the days require a light and breezy wardrobe to handle the heat, here are 10 bags to compliment your summer outfits. And the good news, none of them will have you gulping and reaching for the credit card (or wishing for a rich daddy as the song goes by Louis Armstrong).
Shoulder and pearls
Take a classic shoulder bag and go full on texture with creamy white pearls. If you’re in the UK, make sure you shop on zara.com to find this beauty. Price £45.99. Spotted whilst shopping in Ireland.

Blushing weave
So many woven bags for the sumner are in a neutral raffia colour. Well thanks to Sezane, the lovely Isabelle pouch bag is in this soft and dusky blush pink. Price £195.

Two totes
Whether it’s a day at the beach, trip to the market or a gym class(!), there are relaxed tote bags, either tall or wide, however you like them. Choose between a tall leather detail straw tote from Arket, price 89 euros or the Hannah tape print tote bag from Mint Velvet at 99 euros.


Shine on
Got a glam night out or just want to add some sparkle to a festival, here are two little gems of a bag both from Zara. A woven sequinned bag at £23 or a beaded bucket bag which you can throw over your shoulder for £36.


Black or white
The summer loves a monochrome look. And here are two bags to choose from. Both are shoulder bags and are from Mango, options for either day or evening wear. A white leather shoulder bag with black trim, is in the sale, reduced from £100, now £70. Or how about a crystal shoulder bag, price 70 euros?


Two tone textures
For those of you who love colour mixing and want full handbag texture, you’re in for a treat. From Whistles, the Tillie mini checkboard tote adds a zesty vibe, price 85 euros. From Mango, the bucket crochet bag comes in 3 colour options; yellow, blue or my favourite green as pictured below. It’s in the sale reduced from £36 to £23.


There you have it, an edit of 10 bags for relaxed summer fashion, with 9 out of the 10 bags all under £100 or euros (if you’re shopping in Europe). Shop now and ypu’ll likely grab a bargain!
