Tall or broad, mini or maxi, crossover, rucksack-style or strappy – bags play a starring role in women’s accessories. But the best thing about current bag trends is that anything goes, from XXL bags that are roomy enough to double as weekenders to the tiniest “It bags” barely large enough to fit a lipstick! Between these extremes there’s a whole world of classic hobo bags, easy-going shoulder bags for all our everyday needs, sleek, elegant clutches and casually stylish rucksacks for special occasions.
The textures and leather finishes for designers to choose from are no less varied, spanning cosy, squashy suede and supersoft calfskin, grained cowhide and alligator-embossed goatskin, plus an endless diversity of intriguing material mixes. In the coming season, leathers with metallic finish will be the new stars in the accessory firmament. And metal rivets and chain handles add a gleaming touch of eye-catching detail to simple looks.
If you want your faithful shoulder bag to not only look good, but also keep your belongings in order, take a closer look at what’s inside before making your choice. Go for an organizer bag that has a well-designed system of pockets in various sizes – preferably with zipper closures for added security – to help you to keep track of all your necessities.
