I find summer a far easier time to opt for novelty bags, though one could argue its winter counterparts exist as well. The thing is, I find a themed summer item to be just the right addition of playful fun, and when it comes to novelty bags, Kate Spade always delivers.
It’s a bit on the nose, but in this case, I don’t mind it, and for summer picnics and long sun-filled days turned into summer nights, one of these fruit-themed bags may be what your summer wardrobe craves.
Sweet Bags
Both watermelons and lemons are integral summer fruits, one giving off more of a nod to lemonade stands, ice-cold lemon water, and Italian trips, while watermelons send my mind into beach time and poolside lunches on hot summer days. Normally, I would think it’s a bit too quirky for my taste, but again, this is precisely why I love bags.
While the main reason we carry a bag is for practicality, as in carrying the items we need, it is also a fashion statement we are able to make and to show off our personality. I’m not a brand loyalist at all, and I don’t stray from bold colors or quirky designs. These Kate Spade bags offer just that, and in this case, it’s a sweet thing!
I recently saw these bags in person at the Kate Spade boutique, and I was so tempted to get the 3D lemon bag. Too price-y for a novelty bag.
The Lemon Drop Straw 3D Crossbody Tote is so cute and creative!
I put myself on a handbag buying ban, but I will definitely be lined up for their next fruit summer collection. This is so adorable and fun!
Not my style, but admittedly very cute!
i have a beautiful kate spade lemon clutch with a strap from 10 years ago that is acrylic and jewels for seeds. it is my most complimented bag when i wear it, but sadly it no longer fits the smallest iphone (which i bought specifically for use with my large clutch collection). It would be fine if most of my dresses had a pocket to carry my phone but in the summer that is sadly rarely the case, and I am on the verge of getting rid of it. if it cant hold a phone, how can i justify it?
