The Best Lightweight Bags by Material
For a Classic Pick: Leather
Available in durable variations like pebbled leather, smooth leather, grained finishes and more, leather will resist moisture while carrying all your day-to-day essentials. When worn in warmer tones or classic neutrals—like biscuit, chalk, pecan or even black—leather will go with all your looks, from breezy linen sets to long flowy skirts and beyond. Opt for a more streamlined silhouette that skips the extra material or heavier hardware when you want to reach for a lighter take on leather that is just as timeless and durable.

For a Laid-back Look: Straw
For that carefree tropical feeling anywhere, straw is an all-natural and delicate material that lends itself well to muted pastels and breathable linens. A straw handbag brings dimension, visual interest and textural contrast to any warm weather style. It’s a playful touch that embraces the year-round warm weather while tying together your wardrobe.
Style Pick: Brooklyn Shoulder Bag 28
For the Trend-Setter: Denim
Made to be worn with all your everyday warm-weather styles—think flowy dresses, denim skirts or pastels—a denim handbag is inherently casual and versatile. Go for a denim-on-denim look and style your denim Tabby with your baggy blue jeans or contrast your wardrobe’s everyday color palette with your textured bag for an accent piece that excites. Either way, a denim bag is the everyday accessory you’ll reach for over and over again.
