Halloween Purses

Halloween Purses

When it comes to dressing in your Halloween best, accessories can truly make an outfit. The right bag pulls a whole look together and can be an eye-catching statement piece. Halloween purses are not just decorative, they also holds all the odds & ends you need for any spooky endeavor. I have a small assortment of bags I cycle between, but below are two that I highly recommend to add to your closet.

La Femme En Noir Pumpkin Bag

In 2020 La Femme En Noir debuted their officially licensed Sleepy Hollow collections. Inspired by the 1999 Tim Burton classic, Sleepy Hollow, the collection featured dresses skirts, and a show-stopping pumpkin bag. The Headless Horseman’s pumpkin head was recreated as a molded soft PVC vinyl purse with a full three-dimensional shape. The inside is lined with a signature Sleepy Hollow Toile print.

With a length of 10 inches, height of 9.75 inches, the girth at the center measures a whopping 32 inches. I honestly wasn’t quite prepared for just how large this purse actually is!

Luckily, La Femme En Noir created a petite “Baby Pumpkin Bag” later on, reducing the size to a width of 7.5 inches, height of 7.5 inches, and girth of only 24 inches. That one is a lot more reasonable for general use.

Both these purses are stylish and the outer plastic is quite durable. They offer plenty of room for your wallet and all the various things a witchy woman needs. 

Post Mortem Shapeshifter Purse

The ghouls at Post Mortem Horror Bootique know exactly what Halloween purse fans want. Their unique Shapeshifter bags have interchangeable faceplates, allowing you to change up your look faster than saying, “Trick-or-Treat”. The bag can also be adjusted to wear over-the-shoulder, cross-body, or as a backpack. Styles range from general Halloween & horror to officially licensed partnerships with Trick ‘r Treat, Halloween, and Ghost.

I am a big fan of this one because I can have a completely new style without having to transfer my wallet, keys, Chapstick, voodoo dolls, etc. The purse is quite roomy and it includes an inner pocket for quick access to small items. The bag is about 10″ in diameter and 4″ deep, which works well for someone as small as me.

Summerween Fashion

Summerween Fashion

Summerween fashion blends bright summer colors with classic Halloween-chic. It is all about having fun and playing with color, pattern, and classic Halloween iconography. As someone who loves to add spooky touches to everything year-round, the recent popularity of Summerween has made it even easier to find new and interesting pieces for my wardrobe. 

Here are a couple tips for creating your perfect Summerween look. 

Add Pops of Color

What sets Summerween fashion apart from standard Halloween goth is bold & bright colors. Try adding pops of green, orange, red, or other bright colors. Pair a black bathing suit with an orange coverall and green towel for a subtle pumpkin look. Look for dresses and shirts with bold patterns. Some shops even have dedicated Summerween patterns with carved pineapples and other beach horror vibes.

Accessorize

You don’t have to buy a specialty Summerween wardrobe for the season. If you have to blend in with “normal” co-workers, or you just don’t like overtly holiday-themed clothing – it is easy add spooky, subtle touches to pieces you already own. 

  • Wear Halloween earrings
  • Add a belt with a bat or pumpkin buckle
  • Choose a Halloween or horror handbag
  • Try an orange bandana
  • Skeleton heels never go out of spooky fashion’

Be creative and think outside the box to add Summerween flair to any outfit.

Summerween Fashion is All About Spooky Fun

There is no wrong way to display your love of Halloween in the summer season. If the above pictures have shown you anything, it is that I am not the pinnacle of style. However, I love what I wear and each outfit makes me happy. Don’t worry about dressing for others. Stay true to yourself, wear what brings joy to your day, and have fun.
