1 XL BAG
For an easy take on spring summer 2026 bag trends, get an XL tote. Made of smooth leather, big enough and popular beyond the PR request, an XL tote is a must have for spring summer 2026.
XL BAG IS THE MOST TRENDING BAG FOR SPRING SUMMER 2026 – BUY A SUMMER BAG FOR DAYWEAR
Trendy and exceptional when embellished with chain fringes compared to boho bag trends from the past it is a bag to get and carry around this summer.
Fringes make all the difference in giving a modern update to softer shapes. Referring to Balenciaga, of course. But I prefer the Erdem bag with the precious handle that doubles up as extra. Plus, you can still fold it and wear it as a daytime clutch, which is still very fashionable in 2026.
2 SLIM FLAP BAG WITH A CHAIN STRAP
Prepare for the season ahead by snapping up a slim flap bag with chain strap that will mix and match seamlessly with what you already own. The best choice? Chanel bag, of course.
Even so, this DeMellier bag for under $500 is a prominent sellout. Yet many of you will find the price per wear higher for a Chanel bag. That chic minimalistic bag is truly exquisite and can be worn for work paired with anything in our capsule wardrobe. Also, the quiet luxury appeal of Chanel bag adds a touch of elegance to the overall design. Matthieu Blazy’s flap bag is a true quiet luxury.
Paired with a variety of outfits, from a suit to micro shorts (for a day out of the office), the size of the bag makes it easy to look chic effortlessly. It is not too big, yet big enough to put in swimsuit in case you feel like hitting the beach after you close the meeting.
Wear your new slim flap bag with chain strap on slim-fit pants for work. Or with a 60s style mini dress and kitten heels when you are out and about in the town, or with something more casual for your day at the spa.
Point of view, we all want a bag big enough for all our essentials, from your favorite lipstick, sunglasses and journal to an umbrella (because it rains in fall way too often), while maintaining that effortlessly cool appearance. But at the same time, we want to walk around feeling free. Slim flap bag will give you that freedom whether you’re hitting the office, strolling through the city, going to school, or escaping to the beach.
Slim flap bag with chain strap is one of the hottest bag trends for spring summer 2026 (rumour has it we also saw it on AW26/27 runways – letting you know if the rumours are true in AW26/27 bag trend report – exclusive for everyone who fills out this form).
SLIM CHAIN BAG IS THE MOST FASHIONABLE BAG IN 2026 AND THE MOST ELEGANT BAG TREND FOR SPRING SUMMER 2026
