Welcome summer, it's felt like a lifetime since we've been afforded your warm embrace. As the days get hotter, our glasses get fuller and the nights longer, we can't help but rejoice in the simple moments that last a lifetime. But what is a summer memory without a weather-appropriate accessory? At the top of our summer Wishlist is the all important statement bag – a piece that has the power to instantly transform even the simplest outfit in your wardrobe.

Whether your preference lies in more subtle iterations, or if you're committed to colour blocking your accessories, add a touch of summer charm to your wardrobe with our curated list of this season's best statement bags.
