Your go-to guide to the bags everyone will be carrying this summer

Marni Raffia Bag Summer 2023 Bag Guide

While it is still cold in many parts of the country, New York included, the arrival of March signals that spring is, in fact, on the horizon. For many of us, this also means taking a look at our wardrobes and doing a little spring cleaning to make room for some new pieces. March is also when the new arrivals section of our favorite e-tailers heats up.

Many great new bags are dropping, and we looked through Moda Operandi’s latest offerings to bring you the best new bags for every occasion of the season. So whether you’re looking for a trendy new carry, a fun novelty bag to rock for the warmer months, or you just need something to carry to the overload of weddings you’ll be attending this summer, we’ve got you covered!

New and Novelty

Straw, raffia, and crochet continue to be some of the biggest seasonal materials in the accessory world. What initially felt very niche and impractical for a majority of women actually took off at warp speed and became a full-on wardrobe staple. These novelty materials pack a punch in style, and we see more and more variety each season. From top handle carryalls to mini totes and beyond, there are many offerings at various price points. Opt for Marni’s micro tote in light blue for a pop of color too, or Isabel Marant’s Bucket Bag, which will take you to and from the beach and beyond.

I know the style isn’t super unique anyway but the Isabel Marant one looks sooo much like the Loewe ones to me I did a double take.
