This playful [Kate Spade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kate-spade-and-target) swan bag is a three-dimensional handbag that is sure to add a bit of whimsy to any outfit. Inspired by everyone's favorite pool float toy, once such a staple of summertime parties in the Hamptons that a Wall Street Journal profile was written of them, the idyllic summertime handbag boasts a golden turn-lock style closure and is quite the statement accessory at almost five-inches high. The simplistic, straight-forward imagery of the chic accessory is even reminiscent of an emoji.

Also available as a coin purse, the [aquatic lounger-inspired bag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lobster-bag) is an example of the [whimsical Kate Spade accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-3) like the New York City taxi 3D clutch, a Valentine's Day chocolate box inspired handbag or last season's matryoshka doll inspired three-dimensional purse.
