Spring/Summer 2021 Handbag Trends to Know

12 April 2021

Breathe new life into your arsenal of accessories with this season’s trending bags. On the shopping list? These must-have bags from local label LINGWU.

There’s nothing like the new season to inspire a wardrobe refresh. With Spring/Summer 2021 bringing new fashion trends to the forefront, there’s no better time than now to treat yourself to a new arm candy (or two).

When it comes to beautifully hand-crafted bags to invest in, check out local accessory label, LINGWU. Thoughtful design lies at the heart of this homegrown brand, as designer Goh Ling Ling constantly pushes the boundaries and defies expectations – melding quality craftsmanship with luxurious materials to create one-of-a-kind bags.

From bold, happy hues to woven wonders, get to know this season’s hottest bag styles – and get ahead of the curve by shopping these LINGWU picks that are bang on trend.

Colour Me Happy

If you’re ready to incorporate colours into your wardrobe this season, make them bright and uplifting.

Take a departure from spring’s soft pastels of spring and  turn it up a notch for summer with bold, electric hues that will make you stand out from the crowd. Petite yet functional, the Nugget Corrugated clutch packs a punch as a wardrobe must-have.

Available in playful hues of ‘Bossy Pink’, ‘Lapis’ and ‘Buttercup’, it features a unique corrugated leather construction andvintage-inspired frame that will fit snugly under your arm – making it the perfect accessory for all your summer adventures.

Soft to the Touch

Over the past year, one thing has become clear: comfort is the new luxury – not just with attire but with our choice of accessories too. This season, designers are taking a laid-back but still luxe approach with unstructured bag silhouettes. Be it relaxed shapes, pillow-soft fabrics or boho-inspired designs, this trend is no slouch in the style department.

Looking for a major upgrade from your everyday tote bag? Inspired by the classic market bag carried by Singaporeans, the Le Sac 12” is crafted with a butter-soft leather exterior and microsuede lining. It also comes with a feature pocket in front and an adjustable leather strap for your on-the-go moments when you need to be hands-free.

Woven Wonders

Be it straw, rattan, raffia or canvas, natural fabrics are a no-brainer for the warmer months of spring and summer. Light and effortless, these bags evoke major holiday vibes and will lend a certain je ne sais quoi to your outfits. The limited edition Miller Rattan Kelakai and Saluang Murik are standouts pieces from LINGWU.

Sustainably produced in collaboration with Dayak women weavers and craftsmen from Kalimantan, Borneo, these unique top-handle totes boast a traditional fern motif in hand-woven rattan and a round top resin ring handle – the perfect juxtaposition of classic and contemporary design.

Architectural Details

Soft bag shapes may be all the rage this season, but rest assured that there’s always room for structured handbags. In 2021, these classic styles get an upgrade – taking inspiration from architectural forms, sculptural shapes and bold metallic accents for a fresh, new twist. Whether influenced by the clean lines of a skyscraper or the deconstructed edges of a Cubist art piece, these bags are certainly not your average accessory.

Named after Oscar Niemeyer, the Oscar top-handle bag draws inspiration from the renowned architect’s bold use of strong, modernist sleek lines. The result is a stylish and minimalist work bag that features ample room, interior pockets and a custom twist front lock for closure. Available in a variety of hues and colour-block options, the versatile yet no-fuss Oscar is the ideal companion for the working woman.
