It is our most loyal companion and follows us everywhere: the handbag not only completes our look, but also holds all the important things we want to carry with us on a daily basis. It will more or less fit depending on the size and cut. Some focus on functionality when it comes to their all-time favorite accessory, while others pay more attention to whether the model has a trendy cut or the trending color of the moment. Luckily, the fashion market has enough for everyone because the handbag options are endless. You can quickly lose perspective in the accessory jungle. We offer an overview: these shades, cuts and elements are in particular demand.
Trend 1: Bright colors
After the dreary winter, this trend suits us well: handbags – be it tote bags, shopping bags or shoulder bags – stand out in bright colors. They are real eye-catchers and absolute eye-catchers for an outfit in pretty muted colors. But even if you choose a colorful handbag to go with a colorful look, you won’t be wrong.
Trend 2: bucket bags
A true classic is the bag that never goes out of style. It’s also practical because it fits a lot of stuff inside, but with its round shape it also looks super comfortable. It doesn’t matter if you choose an elegant or cooler look, it always goes with it.
Trend 3: Clear shapes
This trend is simple and unpretentious: no-frills handbags with straight cuts and clear lines are gaining great popularity. Of course, because they are also timeless and therefore a good investment for the future. Here you are guaranteed to have something from it for a very long time. Plus, thanks to their simple design, they go with just about anything!
Trend 4: Handcrafted bags
These bags have a pure summer feel and that’s why we love them so much: We’ve been carrying tote bags for walks for many years, and this year we don’t want to throw them away. This year, however, the all-time favorites are updated and offered in luxury versions by designers like Dior and Paco Rabanne. But we don’t just think the baskets are great, but we can’t resist other models that honor craftsmanship. They are often carefully handcrafted and consist of nature-inspired materials. Small works of art that we no longer want to give away.
Trend 5: Metal elements
Especially chain bags – bags with thick or thin metal links – are among the must-haves of this period. However, nowadays we also like models with other metal details. Metallic accents combined with noble leather create a great look that can be easily combined with anything. Bags with metal elements look good with both classic, flashy outfits and rock looks.
