This summer’s hero handbag is beige canvas; everything from totes to cross-body styles and even belt-bags.
It works with everything in your current wardrobe; from classic, roomy summer tailoring to on-trend utility and beige pieces and it’s more affordable than leather too. Introducing the new it-bag of the summer; the canvas bag.
An update from last summer’s raffia accessories trend the canvas bag is your new must have handbag style.
While the bag shape can be anything from roomy and oversized, to super petite there are two key elements to remember; firstly, look for neutral shades of cream and beige and secondly the fabric must be canvas.
Here’s our edit of the best styles available to buy right now.
