📰 The 6 Handbag Trends We're Shopping This Summer ✨ Fashion Insights & Trends: When it comes to the summertime, we like to do the most; and this season, so do our accessories. The flashy handbag trends we've been tracking lately range from niche designs (sculptural clutches) to functional summer carry-alls (woven baskets and beach totes).  One thing about the OOO season is that its activities require a fair amount of tools, whether it's a massive beach towel or several bottles of SPF , requiring a  spacious bag to lug to the shore or pool.  Oversized baskets — of the raffia , rattan, wicker or macrame variety — fit the bill, as do roomy canvas or linen tote bags , which can often be customized with monogramming or patches (like those from Abbode and BaubleBar).  Perhaps the most prevalent (and arguably most fun) of this season's handbag trends is the beaded bag.
