The satchel bag is an absolute must-have among women’s handbag styles that never go out of fashion, especially in the summer: whether carried by the handles, by hand, over the shoulder, or even under the arm, a satchel bag is always comfortable, chic, and, at the same time, elegant and instantly recognizable.
The distinctive design of these styles features rigid sides, short handles, and a trapezoidal shape, reminiscent of old-fashioned trunks or simply a small travel suitcase.
Women also choose satchel bags for their spaciousness: this feature, combined with their elegant look, makes them ideal for a romantic evening out as well as for travel.
But which designer satchel bags are trending for Spring/Summer 2022? Here’s our selection of styles that are a must-have for your wardrobe.
The new Alviero Martini Spring/Summer 2022 handbags are elegant, glamorous, and perfect for a variety of work and leisure occasions—such as the Prima Classe briefcase-style handbag, crafted from smooth leather.
The Studioarch selection of Alviero Martini 1A Classe satchel bags features compact and trendy styles. Among others, the Monogram satchel stands out for its charming look and dual carrying options: by hand (thanks to its rounded handles) and over the shoulder, with its adjustable strap. The zipper closure, meticulous details, stylish lock, and exquisite finishes highlight its expert “Made in Italy” craftsmanship.
These features are also found in the all-white summer version, perfect for pairing with playful, carefree outfits as well as the most chic looks: the Geo White satchel, available in two sizes and lined with a cotton-blend fabric to add extra softness and freshness to the accessory.
Piquadro is a renowned Italian brand specializing in leather goods of all kinds—from backpacks to accessories, and from handbags to briefcases. The brand’s unique value lies in its ability to blend vintage trends with contemporary fashion in an original and unconventional way, for both men’s and women’s accessories.
Among the standout pieces of the new Spring/Summer 2022 collection is the Dafne Hobo bag—comfortable and elegant, crafted from soft, full-grain leather, with both a magnetic and a zipper closure.
A practical alternative for the office is the Piquadro Circle briefcase, featuring compartments for a laptop and iPad, as well as highly organized interior pockets for maximum efficiency.
Once again this season, Gabs showcases some of the most vibrant shapes, colors, and patterns, with a collection that leaves a lasting impression—thanks in part to collaborations with exceptional designers: one example is the line of bags and accessories designed exclusively by Art Director Enrica Mannari, such as the G3 Plus Lab Mannari Bag, crafted from genuine leather and naturally transformable into an iconic satchel.
For lovers of unique shapes and styles, the new Braccialini Spring/Summer 22 collection offers one-of-a-kind, whimsical, and highly original handbags, all strictly handmade, such as the lion-shaped “Braccialini” bag or the “Audrey” and “Penelope” models.
