The fastest-rising piece of the summer wardrobe is the crochet bag — off the runway, onto the beach. Handmade texture is the most elegant answer to fast fashion’s sameness, and the right model carries you from beach to dinner in a single day.
Five styles, five moments
- Beach: a roomy boho shoulder bag for towel, book and sunscreen
- Evening: a pearl-trimmed raffia bag with a chain strap
- Everyday: a round raffia bag with leather handles
- Formal: a crochet clutch — the wedding season’s quiet star
- City days: a featherweight paper-yarn hobo
Care is simple: wipe with a damp cloth, never machine-wash, and store stuffed with paper over winter. Every bag is crocheted by hand in our workshop — no two are alike.
