Whether it’s the longer days, warmer air or itch for new beginnings, there’s something about spring that makes you want to reach for more colour—and your handbag is one of the simplest places to start. From soft, sun-washed pastels to playful pinks, this year’s spring colour palette is both fresh and effortlessly versatile.

Below, explore new spring bag colours that will help you embrace the urge to keep your wardrobe light this season.

Light and Bright: Vanilla & Biscuit

Muted pastels are a spring wardrobe staple—and shades like vanilla and biscuit are just as rich looking as their names imply. A softer, muted yellow, vanilla adds a touch of spring colour to any outfit without going overboard. And while a bag in biscuit can certainly read as a neutral accessory, the warm, toasty hue is anything but boring. Light and airy, it carries all the cosy charm of the treat it’s named after.

Pops of Pink: Melon Pink & Dark Peach

Lively enough to function as a statement piece yet subtle enough to fit in with even your most casual outfits, a bag crafted in melon pink or dark peach is both visually striking and versatile. Pair your pop of pink with all your springtime looks—from vintage denim jackets to lightweight linen pants and flowy skirts. It’ll add a refreshing splash of colour to any neutral or tonal outfit.

Warm Neutrals: Caramel & Clay

Embrace the newfound warmth in the air with a warm neutral that appeals to spring. A shade of golden brown, caramel pairs well with everything from spring florals to muted pastels and beyond—without feeling too dark or heavy for the lighter season. Clay, on the other hand, takes that warmth one step further. Its earthy red undertones give it a depth that feels grounded yet fresh.

How do I choose the best bag material for rainy spring days?

When choosing a bag for rainy days, you should focus on water-resistant materials like the below.

  • Coated Canvas: Sturdy and lightweight, our Signature Canvas is designed for your everyday...even the days with maximum precipitation. Coated Canvas is easy to care for, too—just wipe the surface with a damp or dry cloth.
  • PVC: When the forecast turns wet, a shoulder bag crafted of PVC is the ultimate grab-and-go essential. Its water-resistant finish will help repel rain so your belongings stay protected—and the durable surface will hold up beautifully so that you look polished, even when the weather isn’t. Bonus points for styles that convert to a crossbody.
  • Leather: There’s a reason leather is considered a classic. Available in durable variations like pebbled leather, smooth leather, grained finishes and more, leather will resist moisture while carrying all your day-to-day essentials.
