These Summer Bags Under $300 Are Just Fun

I love chic designer pieces as much as any other, but summer is different when it comes to handbag styles. Structured silhouettes and dark leathers seem too serious for lazy summer days, so fashion girls usually gravitate towards styles with a bit more personality. Color, beads, crochet and natural materials become the main characters until September returns. This allows you to add personality to your look during a time when high temperatures require the rest of your outfit to be more minimalist.

I'm one of those fashion girls who ditches my usual bags during the summer in favor of more playful styles, so I've recently been on the hunt for some new options. Since these bags have a shorter portability window, I like to stay in the sub-$300 price range, and our favorite retailers have clearly got the mission, as there are too many fun options to choose from.

Whether you are looking for a high saturation hue, pearls, prints or a woven texture, consider that all your summer handbag needs are covered. Keep reading to see and buy the best options under $300 I've found.
