This One Detail Makes Any Summer Handbag Look More Expensive

As a self-confessed handbag lover, I spend a lot of time looking through new-season pieces. I trawl through fashion sites each day for work (and pleasure) and have noticed one particular theme emerging when it comes to handbags. Whether it’s crochet, weaving or macramé, it's all about beautiful texture and intricate detailing.

The best part? Textured bags are a trend that will truly stand the test of time. When adding a new handbag to my collection, I need to know that the piece will work with my wardrobe for years to come. I've pulled together the best textured bags to match any look, including woven handbags that will complete your tailored office outfit, crocheted creations that are calling for summer dresses and intricate macramé pieces that will elevate your favourite jeans-and-blazer look.

Whether you like something tiny or prefer a throw-it-all-in, carryall style, there’s something for everyone in this selection. Neutral tones can blend easily into any wardrobe, and I also love to add a bold vibrant colour as more of a statement. Whatever your preference, trust me when I say this tactile trend is one you’ll want to buy into. Keep reading for classic and colourful takes on this exciting style.
