Sienna Miller reveals the most popular summer ’18 bag trend: the woven purse. An interesting play on picnic baskets, these circular or box-shaped bags pair perfectly with any sundress or romper. They also hold everything you need, making them a go-to for summer vacation adventures, trips to the farmer’s market and day parties.

When your summer plans include professional meetings and work lunches, you need a bag that holds all of your essentials. That doesn’t mean, however, that you have to hang to your dark-toned, fall bag. Update your summer workwear with a bright satchel or tote with a floral print or embellishments like Priyanka Chopra!
