This Week's Obsession: Why Summer Bags Aren't Just for Summer

Summer 2025 is brimming with fresh handbag trends—from crochet-and-mesh silhouettes to pastel-hued minis and transparent PVC styles. But why relegate these statement pieces to just three months of sunshine? In today’s circular-luxury world, these coveted accessories are meant to turn heads long after the last beach day—without asking you to pay full price or compromise on variety. With More Luxury Club’s unique co-ownership model, you’re free to elevate your wardrobe and keep your favourite summer bags in steady rotation—season after season, destination after destination.

This summer’s must-haves range from feather-light mesh totes and airy crochet rattan buckets to effortlessly chic raffia-and-leather hybrids—each ready to accompany you from sunlit brunches to city strolls and sunset soirées. Go beyond summer: let a pastel mini cross-body become your signature colour pop over layered cashmere in winter, pair a crochet net tote with crisp wool in autumn, or let a crystal-clear PVC shopper bring a touch of playful modernity to your winter escape in the Caribbean. Think of these seasonal icons as your all-occasion essentials—versatile, tactile, and full of possibility. With More Luxury Club, every bag in your collection is an invitation to embrace style without limits, wherever your next adventure leads.


1. Summer Styles, Year-Round Appeal

This summer’s must-haves range from feather-light mesh totes and airy crochet rattan buckets to effortlessly chic raffia-and-leather hybrids—each ready to accompany you from sunlit brunches to city strolls and sunset soirées. Go beyond summer: let a pastel mini cross-body become your signature colour pop over layered cashmere in winter, pair a crochet net tote with crisp wool in autumn, or let a crystal-clear PVC shopper bring a touch of playful modernity to your winter escape in the Caribbean. Think of these seasonal icons as your all-occasion essentials—versatile, tactile, and full of possibility. With More Luxury Club, every bag in your collection is an invitation to embrace style without limits, wherever your next adventure leads.


2. Co-Ownership: The Smart Way to Keep Bags in Play

High-impact seasonal bags often come with high price tags—and a high risk of sitting unworn in your closet. Co-ownership lets you share the investment (as little as 20% of retail) and enjoy a rotating edit of summer designs without the guilt of underuse. Back from a Mediterranean holiday? Simply trade your share for next season’s standout style—no full-price purchase required.


3. Extend Service Life with White-Glove Care

Raffia, mesh, and PVC demand specialist attention—especially after sandy beaches or humid climates. Our white-glove care includes professional cleaning, repairs, and climate-controlled storage, so that each summer bag stays pristine long after the sun has set. By maintaining condition and structure, co-owned bags retain their value—and your style stays sharp from June through January and beyond.


4. Maximise Your Wardrobe, Minimise Waste

Fast-fashion habits—buy for the season, then discard—fuel needless waste. Co-ownership shifts the equation: seasonal bags stay in a closed circular ecosystem, where shares are sold, resold, loaned, and borrowed repeatedly. This higher utilisation rate means fewer new bags produced, lower environmental impact, and more joyful rotation for you.


5. Rotate, Refresh, Repeat—With Travel in Mind

Plan a quarterly rotation that complements both your local wardrobe and your travel itinerary:

  • Spring: Light mesh totes for weekend city breaks

  • Summer: Crochet minis and clear shoppers for beach getaways

  • Autumn: Pastel cross-bodies over knits for temperate escapes

  • Winter: A hint of summer texture to warm up ski-lodge or tropical-escape ensembles

With More Luxury Club, you can swap in and out of each piece—enjoying both your home wardrobe and your suitcases, without clutter or compromise.


Make Summer Bags Your All-Year & All-Destination Staples

Summer bags don’t have to hibernate until next June. Through co-ownership, you gain affordable access, expert care, and true circularity, ensuring your seasonal statement pieces remain vibrant, valuable, and adventure-ready—whether you’re poolside in Palma or strolling a springtime London market.

Introducing July’s Fab5: A Summer of Texture, Craft, and Iconic Design

This July, our Fab5 curation brings together standout seasonal bags from designers we’ve recently spotlighted—Tom Ford, Tod’s, Tory Burch, Khaite, and the ever-iconic Chanel. Each piece was selected to celebrate craftsmanship, contrast, and co-ownership-worthy appeal—bags you’ll want to wear now and for many summers to come.

First up, the Chanel Mesh Pouch, proof that airy materials and timeless branding can coexist beautifully. It’s light, practical, and just the right amount of playful. Then there’s the Tom Ford Textured Lamé Clutch—a compact evening hero with serious shine, elevating even the most casual summer look.

We love the Tod’s Micro Raffia Clutch for its Italian charm and modern practicality, ideal for both day trips and dinner al fresco.

The Tory Burch T Monogram Raffia Bag takes classic American sportswear into the warm weather months with woven texture and graphic appeal. And finally, the Khaite Zoe Small Suede Raffia Tote offers the kind of sculptural, luxurious minimalism that balances this edit to perfection.

Together, these five summer-perfect bags reflect our values at More Luxury Club: exceptional design, sustainable rotation, and timeless luxury—made more accessible through co-ownership.
