There’s a back-to-school energy in the air, but that doesn’t mean holiday season is over yet. If you’re looking to invest in a new work bag, consider a style that can also be worn as a chic carry-on. Roomy, more practical bags are having a moment, which is great news for all of us who cart around more than just a lipstick. More and more fashion brands are considering the practicalities of what women really need from their bag; aesthetic elegance, but also space for a laptop, umbrella and phone. The result is that today’s It designs can also be used as hand luggage, with room for our passport and a pair of travel socks.
Kate Moss was seen carrying a sensibly-sized Hermès Kelly on the beach this summer. The location for such a luxury item might have been unrelatable, but the message was clear; CAPACIOUS BAGS ARE BACK. In the luxury camp, MÉTIER IS A GO-TO FOR HARD-WORKING CHIC DESIGNS made with the highest levels of craftmanship, while mid-level brands such as Strathberry and Toteme offer TIMELESS SHAPES AND PREMIUM MATERIALS at a more accessible price point.
Blame the boho renaissance, but suede bags are back in a big way – perfect for those who want to channel their inner hippy in a low-key, office-appropriate way. Woven styles remain key, and burgundy has transcended the 2024 buzz to become a long-term design classic.
