As winter’s chill is soon to fade and Australian spring is just around the corner, one trend is leading the way in style and practicality: the woven handbag. Offering the structure of cooler-weather accessories with the breezy feel of spring, woven bags are the it piece for transitioning your wardrobe into the new season.
The woven handbag is stepping confidently into Spring 2025, bringing with it decades of style heritage and a fresh, modern sensibility. Once a staple of 1950s jet setters and the ultimate Summer holiday companion, the woven basket bag took centre stage again in the late sixties thanks to Jane Birkin’s effortless French style.
Designers today are reimagining woven bags with innovative materials and techniques, creating pieces that are as practical as they are beautiful. This season, soft vegan leather takes the spotlight- offering the organic charm of a woven texture with the versatility of transeasonal styling.
Whether you lean towards minimalist neutrals or love a pop of colour, woven bags add instant character and understated elegance to any outfit. Louenhide’s Aces collection celebrates this trend with designs that transition seamlessly from weekday to weekend, city to coast.
With 25 years of design experience, Louenhide product designer Roz Lakelin knows that “when it comes to woven-style handbags, not all techniques are created in the same way.” Every style in the collection is a balance of artistry, comfort, and practicality.
The Madeline Shoulder Bag is crafted with feminine, softer, slouchy styling in mind. “Each threaded piece is very narrow, with folded edges to give a sleek, uniform woven finish,” Roz explains. This creates a refined, lightweight texture that drapes beautifully.
The Gwen Tote Bag and Josephine Crossbody Bag feature larger strips of weaving. “To keep these bags from becoming too bulky or heavy, we used individual strips with painted edges, carefully threaded over and under by hand to create a tactile, dimensional texture with a practical lightness and ease of use.”
This season, Louenhide’s collection incorporates a large, square weave for a structured, architectural feel. Every piece blends softness and structure, using advanced weaving techniques that ensure both comfort and longevity.
The woven handbag is no longer just a summer staple- it’s now an essential part of every stylish wardrobe all year round. In spring 2025, it’s all about vegan leather woven bags that deliver durability, versatility, and contemporary charm.
Swap your heavier winter pieces for light blazers and linen sets, and let a woven handbag add depth, texture, and polish. Whether it’s a woven crossbody bag for market days, a woven tote for work, or a compact woven wallet for quick errands, this accessory moves effortlessly from day to night.
Our Spring accessories 2025 range is designed for modern Australian women- balancing functionality, trend-led design, and sustainable vegan leather.
