This Bag Brand Is Designing the Hottest Accessories For Summer 2026

In fashion, sometimes things appear slowly, and then all at once. That’s the case for Valesque, a bag brand known for its elegant and streamlined nylon bag styles. The designs range from small totes with leather slim handles to quilted pouch bags. Each style is a study in restraint, recalling the ease of ‘90s minimalism, and one can imagine them in the wardrobe of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy.

Founded by Valeska Dütsch and Sophie Berianidze in 2023, the brand is still new but picking up traction quickly amongst the fashion set. The bags landed on Net-a-Porter recently and have been selling out nearly as quickly as they arrive. The bags cost under $350, yet have all of the cool sophistication of accessories with much higher price tags. While they’re already sweeping the fashion set, we’re predicting they will be the bag of summer 2026. Ahead, shop the signature nylon bags from Valesque.
