Summer 2021 is here, and so are all the new fashion accessories. Summer has always been the time where we get the widest selection of styles in all the different areas of fashion. Handbags are always one of the most popular accessory items and this year, we are going to be seeing an incredible selection. Designers really had fun with designing this year’s pieces by introducing different silhouettes, fabrics, metals and colors. Even though the trendiest bags are usually made by the biggest luxury brands, more affordable brands are introducing their own versions of these “it” bags.

Louis Vuitton: “By the Pool” collection
The Louis Vuitton “By The Pool” collection is the perfect group of summer accessories, especially if you are planning many beach or pool trips. More specifically, the “NéoNoé” and “ONTHEGO” tote in wicker are the timeless summer pieces everyone needs. The “ONTHEGO” is perfect for heading to the beach and carrying everything that you need for the day. The “NéoNoé” is perfect for a night on the town with your friends, exploring Miami, or whatever else you may encounter during your summer adventures. And no need to worry, if the prices is a little much, wicker is everywhere all summer, so here are some alternatives.

Louis Vuitton: “ONTHEGO” and “NéoNoé“
Zara: “Metallic Closure Woven Box Bag” and “Metallic Trim Woven Bucket Bag“
Prada: “Galleria”
The newly structured Prada “Galleria” in Saffiano leather, more specifically the white version, is the perfect summer closet addition. The new structure and curved bottom, add a little bit of spice to the already classic and famous Prada Galleria bag. Not to mention, a white handbag is a summer must, as it goes with every single outfit and will look perfect with the occasional all-white ensemble. Its petite sizing makes this a much more elegant handbag, suitable for summer weddings, dates, or maybe a nice dinner with your friends or significant other.

Tory Burch: “Miller Top Handle Satchel”
Gucci “Overture” Collection
Finally, we reach the more adventurous option. The Gucci “Overture” collection, and specifically the House staples, GG Marmont and Dionysus. These bags are now offered in new and vibrant color combinations. No matter your opinion on Gucci, the GG Marmont and Dionysus are classic designs that are insanely popular for fashion addicts to first-time high-fashion buyers. These new color-blocking combinations provide a refreshing twist to the classic designs, and can certainly elevate a simple summer outfit, or tie together a bold colorful outfit. These colors might be out there for the simpler fashionista, but I believe it could be a worthwhile risk to take.

Zara: “Quilted Chain Strap Shoulder Bag“
Coach: “Swinger 20 with Quilting” and “Tabby Shoulder bag 26 in Colorblock“
These bags are not your traditional summer bag and are here for the long run. If you are not able to pay the luxury price tag, I would recommend going to Zara or Target and checking out the bag collections. These more affordable brands are producing these high-fashion trends at a great quality and price. Here’s to a very fashionable summer!
