The Runway Has Spoken: 5 Handbag Colours That Will Dominate This Summer

With the ability to take even the simplest of looks from basic to chic, the impact that the right handbag has on an outfit is undeniable. And as fashion editors, we spend a lot of our time analysing runway shows to identify which bag styles, shapes, and colours will be at the forefront of any given season.

If there’s one thing the spring/summer 2025 fashion month taught us, it’s that this season is all about colour. But fear not. It’s not about clashing neons or ‘in your face’ hues.

After scrolling through hundreds of ready-to-wear lookbooks, I spotted five key colour trends that are set to be huge this summer—dill green, pastel pink, chocolate brown, sky blue and butter yellow.
