Summer ’25 Handbag Trends at KYM

As summer heats up, so do the handbag trends. This season is all about texture, shape, and moveable style—just the kind of pieces that perform beautifully in our pre-loved, curated collection at KYM.

Here’s your ultimate guide to what’s in right now and what you might already have hiding in your closet:

1. Raffia, Crochet & Craftwork

Beach-ready bags are evolving beyond plastic: Think artisan straw weaves, raffia totes, and crochet crossbodies. Designers like Chloé and Gabriela Hearst are embracing handcrafted textures—as are fans on the street. These lightweight, summery styles are perfect for vacations, weekends, or elevating casual wear.

2. Jumbo Baskets & Market Totes

Forget minis—this season is big. Oversized baskets, mesh shopper totes, and tote bags are making huge waves. Vogue highlights these as essential for summer outings, the beach—or everyday city life.

3. East–West Silhouettes

Enter the reemerging east-west bag: sleek, shallow, and perfect under the arm. Brands like Alaïa, Prada, and Miu Miu are delivering modern takes on this refined shape, offering both structure and chic minimalism.

4. Suede & Slouchy Shapes

Soft suede redefines relaxed elegance this summer. Slouchy hobo bags and soft totes add texture and laid-back luxury. Think warm taupes and camel hues—quietly luxe and undeniably tactile.

 5. Butter Yellow & Bold Neutrals

Colour trends are shifting from pastels to buttery yellow and chocolate browns—neutral enough to pair with anything but still sunny enough for summer's vibe. These thoughtful, mood-lifting shades strike the balance between fun and timeless.
