Here's the thing about being a year-round Halloween lover: you don't stop accessorizing just because it's June.
If anything, summer is when the right accessories matter more because when you're not layering on a cardigan and boots, your bag, your hat, and your sunglasses are doing all the heavy lifting.
The good news? The small shop world has fully embraced Summerween, and there are some genuinely great spooky summer accessories available right now — pieces that work at the pool, on a beach walk, at a summer cookout, or just running errands when you want the world to know exactly who you are.
Here's what I found.
Summerween Accessories
A note on shopping these finds: All shops and Etsy listings are subject to stock changes — small shops sell out fast and restock on their own schedules. If something is gone by the time you get there, the shop is almost always worth following for future drops.

Summerween Bags
Let's start with the category that does the most work. A great spooky bag is a year-round flex, but there's something especially satisfying about carrying one in summer when everyone else is hauling around a tote with a flamingo on it.
The Punkin Shop
The Punkin Shop is a Halloween accessories brand with a dedicated Summerween collection — and shop owner Lauren takes the assignment seriously. Her current bag lineup includes the Sunset Screecher Bat Spooky Summer Bag ($75), the Sun-Kissed & Stitched Frankenstein Spooky Summer Bag ($75), and the Black Magic Summerween Bag in multiple colorways ($75 each).
Bonus picks: the collection doesn't stop at bags — she also carries Summerween earrings that are genuinely delightful, including Sea Shell Jack-o-Lantern Earrings ($13), Monster Popsicle Earrings ($13), and Pumpkin Popsicle Earrings ($13).
Affordable, fun, and completely on theme. Definitely worth bookmarking for both the bags and jewelry sections of your Summerween shopping list.
Backstitch Bruja
If you don't know Backstitch Bruja yet, let me introduce you to your new favorite small shop. This is a Halloween bag brand — not a general fashion brand with a seasonal Halloween drop, but a shop that is entirely built around spooky, Halloween-lover accessories year-round.
The range of styles is impressive: crossbodies, fanny packs, mini bags, and phone holsters, all in Halloween-themed prints and designs. Their collection is tagged by season, and yes — they have a Summerween tag. They know their audience.
Worth noting: If you spot a style that is sold out, sign up to be notified when it’s restocked. You can also follow @brujabootique on Instagram for shop-specific updates. SHOP NOW
What to Search:
For bags specifically, these search terms will surface the best small shop options:
"gothic crossbody bag"
"spooky tote bag handmade"
"Halloween bag small shop"
"spiderweb purse"
"skull crossbody bag"
Look for sellers with strong reviews and photos that show the bag in use, not just a flat lay — it's the best way to gauge actual size and quality before buying.

Summerween Hats
Sun protection and spooky aesthetics are not mutually exclusive. I repeat: you do not have to choose between your skin and your identity. The small shop world has options.
Witchwood Bags
Known primarily for their bags, Witchwood also has a hat collection that's genuinely worth a Summerween detour. Their floppy sun hats ($28) come in an impressive range of spooky-adjacent prints in black, white, olive, and caramel colorways.
For something more casual, their embroidered dad hats ($25) include some instant favorites: "Established 1692," "Not a ghost, just dead inside," and "SPOOKY" are all extremely on brand and extremely wearable all summer. SHOP NOW
La Femme En Noir
The Lydia sun hat ($54) is a vintage reproduction handmade wicker sun hat with a soft ribbon that ties under the chin — reviewers have called it "the ultimate perfect goth sunhat" and note it works beautifully at the beach. If you've been looking for a wide-brim sun hat that matches your actual aesthetic, this is it.
Reviews consistently rave about the quality and the look, and the name alone (a Beetlejuice reference if you need the hint) tells you everything about this shop's energy. SHOP NOW
Murder Apparel
We've talked about Murder Apparel before for swimsuits, and their trendy bucket hat collection is equally worth a browse. Gothic designs, dark aesthetics, very wearable for summer. SHOP NOW
Abysm Internal
This reversible gothic snakes bucket hat ($46) featuring Medusa's snakes, handmade from premium breathable fabric with a linen feel. Artist-designed and illustrated, made to order — the kind of piece that makes people stop you and ask where you got it. SHOP NOW
What to Search:
"goth sun hat"
"spooky bucket hat"
"death's head moth embroidered hat"
"Halloween baseball cap embroidered"
"gothic wide brim hat"
For embroidered caps specifically, Etsy has an excellent range of small makers doing ghost, skull, moth, and bat embroidery on quality hat bases. Look for sellers who specify the hat brand and material — it makes a big difference in durability.

Summerween Sunglasses
Spooky sunglasses exist on a spectrum: there's the subtle gothic cat eye that just reads as cool and dark, and then there's the full bat-wing frame that announces your whole personality from across the parking lot. Both are valid. Both are represented here.
Autumn Lane Accessory
Need an accessory with a Halloween touch? Autumn Lane has a variety of classic cat-eye style sunglasses with Halloween touches, like pumpkins, ghosts, and bat charms. SHOP NOW
Stone Vein Studio
I purchased a pair of their spiderweb sunglasses ($30) for my Summerween beach day post and love them. They come in multiple frame colors too! SHOP NOW
Grave Napperz Inc
If giant bat wing sunnies ($20.99+) are more your style, you’ll love this pair! You can customize the color of your frames as well as the handpainted logo in the top corners. SHOP NOW
What to Search:
"gothic sunglasses"
"spiderweb sunglasses cat eye"
"skull sunglasses"
"bat sunglasses"
"black heart sunglasses"
A note on sunglasses from small shops: always check for UV protection noted in the listing. Cute is great; UV400 is better.
What’s your accessory fave pick?
And as always: when you're shopping for Summerween accessories from small businesses, you're not just getting a great bag or a perfect hat — you're supporting a maker who loves this aesthetic as much as you do. That's worth something.
