I don't know about you, but the anticipation of summer has been killing me lately. So much so that a little summertime pick-me-up is very needed. Apparently Bembien, one of my favorite handbag brands, heard my cry. You know those really beautiful woven bags everyone carried last summer? (You probably saw them all over Instagram.) That's Bembien. Well, the brand just released three brand-new styles that will take your anticipation for summer to the next level. 

Currently the bags are only available for pre-order, which normally I would be a tad hesitant about since I'm a huge fan of instant gratification, but the idea of purchasing these straw beauties now and having them arrive in a couple of months kind of excites me. That means that once these trendy handbags arrive in the mail, we're officially in the home-stretch to summer 2018, and man am I ready. One look at the three new Bembien styles below and you'll be clamoring for fun in the sun and trendy Instagrams galore. Because both really do go hand in hand. 

Next up, check out the new shoes brands making us rethink everything we own.
