I’ve been reaching for it nonstop and I didn’t expect to love it as much as I do! What makes it so perfect for summer is the Intrecciato weave, which gives it this beautiful texture that feels very warm and relaxed. The cognac color is just stunning and it goes with absolutely everything in my wardrobe, whether I’m in a summer dress, a button-up with shorts, or even dressing it up for an evening out. And the leather is so buttery soft, I genuinely just love holding it. It’s one of those bags that works dressed up or dressed down, and that versatility is everything for me.</p><div><br/></div><p><strong>Name three fashion essentials you always have in your summer bag</strong>. First, my perfume. I actually rotate between two depending on my mood: Maison Margiela Replica Beach Walk, which smells exactly like the beach with that coconut, sun-kissed, salty skin vibe (it’s pure summer in a bottle), and Le Labo Thé 26, a fresh matcha-forward scent I reach for every single day. Second, my Tod’s black leather mini wallet. I’ve had it for years and it’s just a classic I keep going back to. And third, my La Mer Lip Volumizer. It has this lovely minty effect, deeply moisturizes, and I wear it on top of all my lipsticks. My lips never get chapped with this on and it’s a non-negotiable for me.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><strong>Mikaela Lagdameo</strong><strong><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1777520278279viber_image_2026-04-29_07-26-55-385.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo from @mikalagdameo on Instagram</span></span></span></strong></div><p><strong>What has been your go-to summer bag this season?</strong> The most useful and practical summer beach bag I own has been the Beyond The Vines dumpling bag! It’s so light and easy to bring on trips since it fits everything. It’s really tried and tested, plus it’s really affordable and it comes in so many colors and sizes.</p><div><br/></div><p><strong>Name three fashion essentials you always have in your summer bag</strong>. I always have my sarong, tanning oil, and a book to read. Other essentials I need are my wallet, extra t-shirts for my kids, and a bottle of water!</p><div><br/></div><div><em>Read more fashion stories on Metro.Style</em></div>
