This High-Street Brand's Bags Keep Selling Out—These Are the Styles I'm Shopping for Summer
With its mix of structured silhouettes, earthy tones and practical hands-free options, COS is delivering some of the most talked-about bags of the summer.


Ask any fashion editor: the easiest way to elevate your wardrobe in one swift move is with a great accessory—and in summer, nothing works harder than the right bag. Whether it’s a woven tote slung over your shoulder en route to a farmer's market, a buttery-soft clutch for dinner al fresco, or a chic basket bag that travels light in the heat, the best bags this season are equal parts practical and polished. And while plenty of high street brands tap into the aesthetic, COS has quietly positioned itself as the go-to destination for summer-ready bags that feel elevated without the designer price tag.
Editors and street stylers have long loved COS for its sleek, sculptural designs—and its accessory lineup continues to deliver season after season. We don't need to tell you about the now-iconic crossbody bag which caused a stir online when it first launched, as did the miniature quilted bag that quickly became a fashion week favourite. And this summer is no different. The oversized raffia tote has already been spotted on influencers across Europe, while the curved Cavatelli clutches—available in butter yellow and vibrant green—feel like a love letter to warm-weather styling. Wholesale Replica Bag nylon shoulder bag is another standout, combining lightweight practicality with COS’s signature minimalist polish.
With its mix of structured silhouettes, earthy tones, and practical hands-free options, COS is delivering some of the most talked-about bags of the summer. Below, we’ve curated the COS styles currently turning heads, alongside the seasonal trends they tap into. If you’re after a new bag that looks far more expensive than it is, shop below.
