The unofficial start to summer is now behind us. And although the calendar may not yet officially deem it our favorite season, our minds are on upcoming vacation(s). Of course we don’t need an excuse to purchase new bags, but the seasonal shift makes it easier to justify.
Although pastels will forever be a favorite for warmer months and lighter clothing, there are some fabulously vibrant colors now hitting store shelves. What better way to celebrate the sunshine than to add a new pop of color to your closet? We certainly can’t wait!
We explore Summer 2023’s hottest colors, from our favorite brands.
The Hottest of Pinks
A forever PurseBop favorite, and seasonally appropriate, hot pink is here to stay. And we couldn’t be more pleased!
On the back of Viva Magenta being named color of 2023 by Pantone, there has been a surge of colorful action in the design world. Fashion is looking to the summer of Barbie, pushing pink, pink, and more pink. And the luxury industry also has responded with great enthusiasm, releasing some beautifully vibrant pieces.
Hermès: Haute Pink
If you’re craving some bright, new fun colors, look no further than Hermès. Masterminds when it comes to color, this season’s offering is not to be missed.

Chanel has never been a stranger to pinks, and this season we’ve seen some newer styles reimagined in the perfect summertime pink.

Summer Ready Reds
Forever a classic shade, red is perfect for all seasons. This year, however, the striking new true lipstick red tones for summer are simply fabulous. Here are our top picks.
Chanel: True Reds
A true classic color-way at Chanel, this season’s red pieces are brighter than before. Akin to a lipstick shade, this red easily works year-round.

It wouldn’t be a new Chanel collection without a Classic Flap. This time, the Classic Flap has been reimaged in a bright red wool jersey. Currently retailing for $9,300 – it’s certainly not for the faint of heart or light in wallet. A nod to Chanel’s original wool jersey pieces, this one packs a punch in this striking red. With complimentary gold-tone hardware, it can take you from summer in the city, to nights out on vacation. A true forever classic.
Similarly, we also can’t talk about Chanel without mentioning a mini. This Mini Flap bag in lipstick red lambskin features an embellished chain. Retailing for $4,700, it’s classic with a fun summertime twist.

Hermès’ Rouge H is the perfect deep-tone red. While you may not immediately recognize that it’s a neutral tone, think again! There’s a reason it is the reverse color for so many Hermès items.
This classic colorway is a stunning red hue with brown undertones that works with nearly everything. It truly never goes out of style. With prices starting at $11,300 for the Kelly 28 Retourne, it’s a true investment piece.

Green with Envy
Vibrant greens have been seen all over the runway, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. We’re totally green with envy!
Green remains a firm favorite for those looking to dip their toe into colorful bags. While it’s by no means neutral, it pairs beautifully with an understated outfit, as well as other colors. From muted khaki tones to show-stopping bright bamboo – there’s a green for every collection.
Hermès: Vert Comics
The ultimate green this season has to be the Hermès Vert Comics – a true, lush, and vibrant green. Not dis-similar to cult favorite Bamboo, Vert Comics is a playful choice for those looking to add a pop of color to their summer closet. We are simply obsessed with the Hermès Kelly in Vert Comics – it’s bound to brighten anyone’s day.

Maybe the bright and bold Vert Comics isn’t for you? Well, Hermès has you covered! Another 2023 release from the leader in luxury is Yuka. A true grassy green, it’s got a more neutral tone to it, and will most certainly work with the majority of your closet. Prices start at $11,300.
Chanel: True Greens
It’s not all Classic Flap and Boy Bags from Chanel this season. Chanel has become creative with its greens this year, and experimented with newer styles and designs. And not just plain green. There’s plenty of beautiful pink and green – the perfect match. After all, who can resist Chanel?

For vibrant greens, there’s the new Small Hobo Bag style, which retails for $4,800. Crafted in luxurious lambskin leather, the shade is incredibly saturated. The complimentary gold-tone hardware and chain detailing certainly finish off this summer piece perfectly.
If bright green isn’t to your taste, there’s the much more muted light green at Chanel. Available in the new small but perfectly formed Bucket Bag, it’s an easy throw-on piece for summer vacations. The resin and gold-tone Chanel charm details definitely add to the allure. This petite bucket bag retails for $5,100. For those looking for a structured design, there’s the Small Vanity Case in the same dreamy pastel shade.
Bottega Veneta: Popular Parakeet
If you’re looking for eye-popping green, where better to start than at Bottega Veneta? Famed for its parakeet green, it comes as no surprise that the latest releases are available in this striking and iconic BV tone.

Meanwhile, the Celine Mini 16 in lavender lizard is a true summer statement. We love the color and skin combination – luxurious yet perfectly seasonally appropriate. Of course, the price tag reflects its exotic leather. Currently available for $7,400, it’s a fabulous ‘entry-level’ exotic skin. This mini size can carry your daily essentials and still look irresistibly cute.
Fendi: Vibrant Purples
The ultimate addition to any Sex & the City fans closet – Fendi brings purple and metallic together. It’s a perfect combination!
After all, as Carrie Bradshaw famously pronounced about her purple sequin Fendi baguette, “Oh, this is no bag. It’s a baguette.” Reissued recently for the 25th anniversary of the baguette design, the sequined version remains a hot, impossible to get, purse.
But there is a newer purplish option now . . .

Midsummer Metallics
Who says metallic leathers are just for the cooler months and holiday seasons. Certainly not us. Earn a fashion medal this summer with gold, silver, bronze . . . or frosty pinks.
What better excuse to buy a shiny brand new bag… quite literally.
Chanel: Metallic Marvels
Is there anything better than metallic? Yes! Metallic AND pink of course. Can you name a better duo?
A beautiful variation of the ever-so-iconic Chanel Classic Flap, this frosty metallic light pink is the best of both worlds. Unfortunately it also comes with the inevitable high price tag of $10,200.
Fortunately, there is another option – a Mini Chanel 22 in a rosy metallic shade. Hitting nearly all the desires, it’s pink, metallic, mini, and a Chanel 22. Given the PurseBop team’s obsession with this style, it’s no surprise it’s on our list. Available for $5,200, who could resist this shiny beauty?
