Linen Bags to Carry When Wearing Linen Clothing or Pretty Much Anything in Your Closet

Any piece of clothing comprised of linen is a prized possession this time of year. The cloth woven from flax is notoriously breathable, ideal for sweltering temps. Which is why you're currently seeing everything from linen pants to blazers all over your favorite retailers' websites. Have you ever considered linen bags, though?

We're not talking about those boring tote bags you take to the beach or the market. No, these babies are super sophisticated. The kind that are destined to achieve It status. Many have leather accents or trim making the silhouettes feel more elegant. Thanks to their construction, they're also durable, great for everyday use.

Major fashion houses are already fans. Chloe has all manner of Woody tote bags in different sizes and colored logo straps. Prada also boasts its moniker on its linen-blend bags. Alaïa's take qualifies as an east-west creation, making it very trendy. Proenza Schouler offers a structured bucket bag. As does Loro Piana, although its version features stripes. If hobos are your go-tos, see Zimmermann's Trampoline twist. While Jacquemus' The Long Bambino Bag gets a linen makeover.

Not really in a neutral frame of mind? Pick up Valentino Garavani's embroidered tote. Balmain's lipstick print bag definitely makes an impression. Chloe also serves up a tie-dye clutch. You don't need to be on vacation to cart MC2 Saint Barth's Colette everywhere you go.
