From roomy totes to sleek bucket styles, canvas bags are everywhere right now. Scroll on for 16 of our favourites… We’ve long loved a canvas tote bag for holidays, beach trips and those days when you need to fit absolutely everything in, but this season, canvas bags have stepped it up a gear. In addition to totes, we’re seeing chic bucket bags, sleek cross-bodys and luxe leather trimmed styles popping up everywhere, and the high-end brands have seriously jumped on the trend.

The canvas bag is now a bonafide investment piece, with everyone from Chloé to Saint Laurent, Loewe to Isabel Marant offering up their own iteration. While the prices might be eye-watering for a canvas bag, these pieces will stand the test of time (if you look after them properly), becoming an accessory to bring out for summers to come.

We love the natural, laid back look paired with a tonal colour palette – think floaty white linens, earthy mushroom or timeless camel, but paired against vintage-look denim and dark tailoring, a canvas bag can bring a nonchalant look to an otherwise pulled together outfit.

Saint Lauren’s ‘Rive Gauche’ style in elegant monochrome is top of our wish list, as is Chloé’s woody striped top handle tote that works just as well as a day bag in the city as it does the perfect carry-on for a summer trip to Ibiza. And if you’re after something at a more realistic price point, H&M, Zara and & Other Stories all have great high street options too.
