Statement Handbags: The 6 Most Unique Designer Handbags

Jul 11th 2024

Most women would agree that a handbag is an essential accessory, no matter where you’re headed. And we concur! Carry your tote for a walk along the sandy shore, bring your crossbody on a tropical getaway, grab your clutch for cocktails by the beach, and have your bag accompany you anywhere and everywhere else your day takes you. But as a coastal fashionista, you don’t just want any functional, everyday bag – you want something that’s going to make a statement. These unique designer purses are the perfect solution!

Tropical and coastal clutches are musts for happy hours, sunset dinners, and evenings out. But these aren’t just any clutches. These statement handbags are made to turn heads with their bright hues and designs that include sequins, hand-painted details, beading, and more in tropical themes like shells and ocean sunsets. Brands like Mary Frances, Spartina 449, and Brighton offer some of the most unique clutch handbags, which come with just the right vibe for coastal nights and enough space to carry your credit cards, lipstick, and phone.

Not a fan of clutches? Many coastal clutches are super adaptable, offering the versatility to be carried as a clutch or as a crossbody if you prefer to be hands-free on evenings out!

Beach Chic Wristlet

When you only need to carry the essentials but still want beach chic style, women’s wristlet purses are the answer! These small bags make a big statement, offering plenty of beach themed designs to express your fun style and personality. Though they’re amazing for nights out, they also work well for daytime! Sling it around your wrist and head to the grocery store, carry it to brunch, or pair it with one of your women’s resort dresses to elevate your beach resort or tropical cruise style. Some of these unique designer purses even come with detachable straps, so you can carry it as a wristlet, clutch, wallet, or crossbody depending on your mood!

We love the surprise functionality of these statement handbags! They’re roomy enough to comfortably hold your items, have credit card slots so you don’t need a wallet, have secure compartments (no more lost bobby pins!), and come with cool features like RFID blocking technology.
