Whether you’re looking for a designer beach bag, or something that won’t cost an entire rent check, it’s important to keep a few guidelines in mind when shopping for your next summer bag. Expect saturated brights and colorful rainbows as seen at Chloe, Loewe, and Valentino, to a plethora of playful reimagined buckets at JW Anderson, Ulla Johnson, and Ines Bressand (a favorite for those looking for an extra special new-spin on the classic summer bucket bag). Thanks to the Spring/Summer 2022 runways, summer’s fiercest bags are anything but ordinary. From statement making sun hats, barely there swimsuits, flowy sundresses and updated gladiator sandals to designer tote bags that will hold all of your beach essentials, there are plenty of styles from the best designer handbag brands to choose from. This season, it’s all about having fun and finding pieces that spark joy.
