Not Leather or Raffia—This Pretty Summer Bag Trend Is Winning Over the Chicest Women

There’s nothing that ties an outfit together—and transforms an entire look—better than a handbag. There are quite a few lovely summer handbag trends to choose from at the moment, but if you want to know what the prettiest, most elegant option of them all is, look no further than the one Tessa Thompson was just photographed carrying in NYC: a satin handbag. And if you thought they were just for evening occasions, Thompson dispelled that notion, as she showed Attersee’s Brea Bag works just as well during the day.

Thompson paired her cream satin crescent bag with a patchwork-print maxi dress and cream leather pumps. She opted for the satin bag instead of, say, a leather or suede one, which made the outfit more summer-appropriate, and while we all think of raffia as the go-to summer bag material, think of satin as the dressier alternative. With that, keep scrolling to see Thompson’s elegant look and shop her exact Attersee bag, along with a handful of other splurge-worthy satin options.
