This season’s most coveted totes are soft and super-slouchy. Timeless and refined, The Row’s ‘N/S Park’ tote comes in ‘Moss’ green leather and has an unstructured bucket shape that comfortably molds to the body. Meanwhile, Toteme’s supersized brushed-wool bucket bag from our NET SUSTAIN edit is spacious enough to store the day’s essentials and understated enough to wear with everything from relaxed tailoring to denim. Similarly, Gucci’s monogrammed coated-canvas tote is a practical choice, whether you’re traveling or commuting to the office.

Spring/summer is the season of tactility and this applies to SS25’s accessories, too. From Loewe Paula’s Ibiza’s striped woven raffia tote (perfect for packing on vacation) to Jacquemus’s chic circle-shaped style (a cool choice for beach-to-brunch days), and Saint Laurent’s sculptural shoulder bag that blends a beachy, artisanal mood with a city-ready sensibility, there’s no shortage of textured summer silhouettes for every occasion. For special events such as garden parties or weddings, look no further than Clio Peppiatt’s ‘Chandelier’ bag, which is dripping in crystals and a fun way to elevate a crisp tailored suit or minimal dress.

Cast your mind back to the ’90s and one bag probably springs to mind: the baguette. Playfully named after the French bread because of its long length and the way it tucks neatly under your arm, the elongated design is back and chicer than ever, thanks to brands including Alaïa. When creative director Pieter Mulier debuted ‘Le Teckel’ (French for dachshund) on the SS24 runway, it became an instant hit. Of all the styles to covet for SS25, this poppy-red leather version is irresistible. Elsewhere, Khaite, Proenza Schouler and Jil Sander are all putting their own unique spin on the east-west silhouette with soft curves and buttery textures. Don’t let the seemingly diminutive style fool you – there’s more space inside than you might think.
