Bags for the warm season

Shoulder bags and bum bags to keep your hands free

The shoulder bag is worn across the chest: the weight rests on the opposite shoulder and the bag stays in front of you, safe from wandering hands in the crowd. The Desigual Calgary or Leiria showcase the colourful prints of the brand founded in Barcelona in 1984, while the Kintobe Nico and Haze take a more understated approach. The bum bag fastens around the waist or can be worn across the chest: the Eastpak Doggy Bag carries on the legacy of a brand born in 1952 in Boston, which originally made bags for the American army, and the water-resistant Bag Base bum bag can handle summer showers.

Hand bags, bucket or hobo: the shape depends on the use

The hand bag is structured, zipped and has compartments, perfect for city outings: the Guess Noelle, Shaida or Lorella carry the signature of the brand established in Los Angeles in 1981. The bucket bag, round and deep, often closes with a cord and can hold all the essentials for a day out, like the model from Desigual that mimics its shape. The hobo bag, like the Guess Ella, hangs in a half-moon shape against the hip and is worn on the shoulder. Got Bag, a German brand from Mainz launched in 2016, became known for its Moon, a hand bag that highlights the use of plastic collected by Indonesian fishermen off the coast of Java.

Evening clutches and care for materials

The clutch, flat and without a handle or with a fine chain, holds only the essentials: phone, card and keys. It is held in hand in the evening or slipped into a larger bag during the day. For maintenance, each material has its method: faux leather is cleaned with a damp cloth and a drop of mild soap, canvas and denim, like on the Desigual Centella Denim, with a sponge and no machine, and leather is nourished with a colourless cream once or twice a year. In summer, avoid leaving a bag in the sun behind the glass of a car: the heat softens the coatings and fades the colours.

Frequently asked questions

What bag should I take to a summer festival?

A bum bag or a small shoulder bag worn in front keeps your phone and documents handy in the crowd. Choose a zipped and water-resistant model, that can withstand a downpour or a spilled drink.

How to store your handbags?

Stuff them with tissue paper to keep their shape, store them upright in a breathable fabric cover, and avoid hanging them for long by the handle, which can become deformed.

What size of bag should I choose for summer?

A compact bag is enough for the city: phone, wallet and keys. For a full day outside, a bucket bag or a large hand bag can also hold a water bottle and sunscreen.

Is a shoulder bag suitable for travelling?

Yes, it's one of the safest: worn across the chest and zipped, it stays close to you on public transport. A model with two compartments separates passport, phone and cash for easy access without emptying everything.

How to remove a stain from a canvas bag?

Dab the stain as quickly as possible with a damp cloth and a bit of Marseille soap, without rubbing too hard to avoid spreading it. Let it air dry, the bag stuffed with paper to keep its shape.
