Spring is not yet knocking on the door in the northern hemisphere but there’s nothing to stop us dreaming of those warmer and brighter days by scrolling instagram for inspiration and fashion ideas. This month’s edition of ‘Something for the Weekend’ gives an edit of the styles and bags for all the girls about town. Here’s the guide to the bag trends for spring and summer 2024 straight from the many feeds.
Before we dive in to the January instagram edit, you can check out the fashion styles for spring and summer from styles to colours and what to co-ordinate with high waisted trousers or low rise sheer skirts. And now if you’re ready, let’s get scrolling. There are over 15 bags here to satisfy your appetite.
Stylish shoulder bags
- Gyoza bag from Yuzefi in sustainable leather is being previewed and will be available on the Yuzefi website soon
- The Nappa leather tote bag with a long strap from Massimo Dutti is new in and ideal for corporate days.
Red hot bags
- Meet Dylan, the retro doctor’s bag from Lulu Guinness

Chain bags in every colour
- The green padded bag from Burberry with the chain strap is so new it isn’t even on their website yet. You’ll have to contact Burberry to reserve.

- For an eye-catching silhouette, opt for the Hug bag from Ferragamo (available in various colours)
- The two tone beige in soft calf leather is the Ann tote (medium) from Ree Projects in Amsterdam in The Netherlands
- And take your choice when selecting a modern take on a black tote bag; from De Mellier London, the New York tote in croc effect or from Valextra, the Milano is for those who have more to carry – an ideal bag for hand luggage for weekends away.
