Colorful City Totes Trend for Summer 2025

Vogue highlights the summer trend of colorful totes as a playful alternative to classic leather work bags. The article notes that minimal summer wardrobes create a need for statement accessories, with totes being both practical and personality-driven. Dior Men's show under Jonathan Anderson featured bright chevron-striped woven totes paired with sharp tailoring, while attendees at Paris Fashion Week used oversized totes for essentials like SPF and water bottles. Marni is cited as an expert in summer bags, with its logo-bearing woven, crochet, and beaded designs popular among fashion editors. Loewe x Paula's Ibiza offers beach-ready designs suitable for city use, and mesh shoppers with beach-towel stripes are common on London's tube. The Balenciaga City bag in punchy hues is a favorite of Vogue Shopping editors Alice Cary and Naomi Smart. Affordable options from H&M and Damson Madder are also recommended. The article concludes with a shopping edit of specific totes, including raffia-effect woven, multicolor shopper, Harbor stripe, 1998 Montauk small, Pascucci Riga, x Da Adolfo Christos, Dragon Diffusion Sprout basket, Summer Banana, Dragon Diffusion Santa Croce, striped market, and Loeffler Randall Classic Easy Zipper totes.
