Not a Clutch—The Evening Bag Has Been Revamped to Reflect This It Girl Trend for 2026.
For summer weddings, events, and vacations, a clutch is the essential accessory of the season. It's a staple that every suitcase needs and serves as a versatile piece, completing outfits for various dress codes and occasions. While classic minaudières are always a timeless option, this summer, we’re noticing that trendsetters are gravitating towards a new accessory: the embellished bag. The styles hitting the market feature clusters of sequins, flowing beaded fringe, and floral embroidery. These bags are vibrant and add a playful touch to summer looks, making them perfect for pairing with an evening gown or even a beach ensemble. Initially, I spotted this bag style from brands like Lizzie Fortunato and Like a Bird, but they are also being introduced by major designers such as Prada and Miu Miu. Check out the embellished bag trend below.
