A new bag heralds in the summer season. Shop styles from Baggu, Kate Spade, Longchamp and more.

Summer captures everything we love about effortless style, and your handbag should be versatile enough to accessorize many different outfits for simplicity and ease. Summer 2024 trends are so fun that you may want a few purses to keep in your wardrobe rotation. Both practical and stylish, there are a lot of choice options. Colors, textures and shapes take center stage this season in the freshest, most modern ways.

A great bag elevates an outfit. Even classic jeans and a T-shirt earn a whole different level of style with sharp accessories. While we may admire the celeb-loved Birkins, Chanel, and other luxe fashion brands, most of us have a budget to consider. You can still look fab without the designer price tag (though no one can blame you if you scoop a classic Saint Laurent bag that never goes out of style.)

This summer's trends are varied but it is still easy to make them your own. Whether looking for a tote that holds all, to add an on-trend pop of color or something that will work every day, shopping for a new summer bag is the best way to welcome the new season.
