]]> Every year we wait for the autumn-winter season to wear out favourite knitwear jumpers, our favourite statement coats and of course of our favourite pair of boots. Yet, a cool autumn-winter outfit wouldn’t be as great unless we accessorised it with the right handbag. From the runway to the high street, we’ve seen this year’s favourite handbags trends. We put together a list of 5 styles of handbags we think you might need for this season’s rotation.  

A Large Tote Bag

Tote bags have been a popular choice for years. People use these for any occasion and in any context – grocery shopping, for work and sometimes even for going out. They’re definitely the most practical silhouette in terms of size and shape. Not only can you fit everything you need inside, but they’re also comfortable and easy to carry around. Whether you want to go for a classic tote such as the Never Full MM tote by Louis Vuitton or opt for something that is trending at the moment – e.g. the Telfar shopping bag – there’s plenty to choose from.

A Crossbody Bag

Cross-body bags are arguably the lightest and most stylish. They can be worn in different ways and can always elevate an outfit if chosen appropriately. They are perfect for going out for brunch, running errands or simply getting drinks on a Friday night. The classic YSL envelope cross-body and the Gucci Marmont bag have been two of the most popular choices over the last few years. However, if you want to jump on the latest trend in terms of the ‘it-handbag’, get yourself a Bottega Venetta quilted cross-body bag. Equally, if you wish to revamp your Y2K style go for the Prada re-edition 2005 nylon bag. 

A Mini Bag

Mini bags have become a massive trend in the last couple of years. In 2019 Jaquemus’ Mini Le Chiquito became a phenomenon, leading other huge fashion houses to toy with the idea of micro bags. Brands such as Chanel, Gucci, Hermès and Givenchy have produced tiny bags and suggested a myriad of ways to wear them – as a necklace, a crossbody accessory, a belt etc. Although considered impractical and even infantile for their comic appearance, they’re definitely a fashion statement. Tiny purses are purely made from a stylistic point of view and promote minimalism. 

An Elegant Clutch Bag

The clutch is the most elegant bag out there – perfect for any special occasion. Whether you’re attending a wedding, an event or simply going out on a date this is your go-to. Carrying a simple clutch can truly make your outfit more sophisticated. You don’t need to pair it with heels, you can match a cool leather clutch bag with trainers or boots, depending on your style and the place you are going to. The Bottega Veneta Pouch leather clutch has been a top choice for streetwear over the last few months, but you can very well opt for something classier and more effective – e.g a Dior lambskin pouch, a Christian Louboutin satin Palmette clutch bag or even something as sparkly as a Jimmy Choo Ellipse glitter clutch bag. 

A Classic Timeless Bag/Statement Piece

Investing in a classic, timeless bag can be tricky. Perhaps you find it difficult to decide what is the right bag for you – the colour, the size, the model etc. Preferably, you would like something that can be used every day but also make a fashion statement while wearing it. Whether it’s a Lady Dior, a Chanel classic handbag or a Birkin bag, you need to choose carefully according to your style and taste but also the price you’re willing to pay. Here are some of the most iconic statement bags you could get this fall.

But our conception of the role that a show fulfills within society is shifting, along with what is achievable through it. The narratives keep getting more creative, the clothes more functional and the visuals ever so stunningly unworldly. Bags for AW21 are no exception: functionality seemed to be the key essence that attracted designers for this season, and there have been many reinventions in the making.

Virtual shows aren’t a novelty in the industry. But our conception of the role that a show fulfills within society is shifting, along with what is achievable through it. The narratives keep getting more creative, the clothes more functional and the visuals ever so stunningly unworldly. Bags for AW21 are no exception: functionality seemed to be the key essence that attracted designers for this season, and there have been many reinventions in the making.

There has been a influx of designers that reimagined fetishism within their collections, characterising many runways shows, from the Gucci Aria collection to Lemaire’s inventive take on pockets.

Compact black leather bags are still in and popularly used by Givenchy, Jil Sander and The Row, which are the antithesis of the maxi bags that just hit the runways. This undoubtedly creates a contrasting new category of androgynous fashion that appeals to ever so many customers, whilst bringing back a 70’s punk appeal that seems to be embraced by many designers this season. The only feminine styles are the reinterpretations of maxi pochettes by Isabel Marant, Fendi and Alberta Ferretti. We still can’t figure out why we still gravitate towards such uncomfortable bags which need to be held tighter than a precious gem, but they surely look stunningly pleasing for the eye. 

Some designers are studying the ergonomic functions of the body and calculating its movements accordingly to their functional and avant-garde designs, such as Alyx Studio. Wallets become unnecessary in a world that tends to distance itself away from the traditional conceptions of style, but minimalism finds a new resurgence that arises from an environmental crisis (despite it not being any environmentally conscious due to its spike in demand).

Coach and Hermès still embrace the more classical philosophy of fashion, with such an elegance in terms of their designs that reigns above all other designers, at least in this category.

Lastly, vibrant textures were spotted here and there through the most vibrant patterns, with psychedelic influences that only Versace and Prada know how to dominate.
