This season’s handbag heroes
Looking for a new sidekick? Here are all the handbag trends you need to know about this season…
THE STRUCTURED
Practicality meets vintage charm with these modern classics. And while this must-have handbag may take inspiration from your grandmother’s wardrobe, the updated versions have major cool factor with embellishments, faux fur and studs.
THE MICRO MINI
Teeny tiny minis are having their moment. Dangle a clutch from your pinkie finger, sling a miniature backpack over one shoulder or simply let your mini hang low beside your hip. There’s only one rule here: Reduce your load to essentials, these babies hold little more than your iPhone.
FASH TECH
Speaking of iPhones, Louis Vuitton embraces your digital bestie this season with a leather embossed iPhone case. If your smartphone isn’t covered in LV, are you even #Fashion?
THE BACK-PACK
A simple scroll through your Instagram feed and I’m willing to bet you’ll spot a flurry of street style regulars posing with designer backpacks. The Michael Kors Rhea backpacks redefine city-accessorising with multiple zipper pouches designed to hold everything from your laptop to your lipsticks.
THE CONVERSATION STARTER
Say it all with these statement sidekicks thanks to the Graffiti trend making a major impact this season. Whether it’s to pay homage to your favourite international city or simply a tongue-in-cheek slogan, these handbags are certainly attention-grabbers.
THE NOD TO NATURE
This season, we see tons of natural influences in the handbag world. Perhaps floral prints will be your pick? Or what about a trusty Gucci Bamboo handle? Who says fashion girls can’t appreciate nature?
