If there’s one item I’m always eager to spend a little coin on, it’s a good bag. Sure, I may have a solid collection of them to begin with, but in my humble opinion, they’re the hardest-hitting category of accessories. Unlike shoes that face inevitable wear and tear, a good bag can last you a lifetime and can pull together a look like nothing else. And this summer is offering an option that’s simply too beautiful to pass up on. Enter: beaded bags.
Beaded bags are taking over the accessory scene and for good reason. They’re literally an art form you can wear and are a stop-you-in-the-street-level conversation starter. Especially in the summertime when bright patterns and colors are encouraged (and expected!), they pack that extra oomph that makes even an outfit full of basics stand out from the crowd.
Speaking from experience, my beaded bag is the single most complimented item in my wardrobe (and one of my most-worn pieces by a mile). They’re meant to be a statement, so I opted for one covered in cheeky, summer-y oranges, and have found that despite it being on the louder side of the spectrum, I get as much wear out of it as my classic leather bags. I rarely plan which bag I’m going to wear until the last second, but when I see my beaded one sitting proud on my top shelf, it’s impossible not to choose.
These are the 13 best beaded bags available right now—and they’re sure to bring a little extra joy to your wardrobe this summer.
