QUILTED CLASSICS

Quilted bags are a classic staple that never waver in popularity, season on season. Saint Laurent has recently turned many of their classic shapes and designs into quilted versions - giving their bags a whole new look and feel.

Miu Miu, renowned for their quilted texture and pillow-like handbags, have always been popular but this year they have become one of the most affordable designer ‘It’ bags of 2023. Even Prada has entered the quilted territory, making their System bag quilted.

And it goes without saying that Chanel remains a timeless, desirable staple with their diamond-shaped quilted lambskin and caviar.

SLOUCHY

2023 is having a slouchy moment, with relaxed and ultra soft suedes and leathers giving bags a relaxed feel moving away from the rigid structures of the past.

With slouchy bags being worn by celebrities and fashionista’s all over the world, they don't lack sophistication. Stella McCartney has long prided itself on the slouchy look, with other brands such as Loewe and Chanel taking suit.

WORN IN

With vintage becoming more and more a vibe, it is no surprise that worn-in looking bags have seen a surge in popularity. The pre-loved, vintage look is effortlessly chic!

If general society thinks that trainers look better worn in, why can’t bags join in…?

Let’s not forget the added perk with worn looking bags, is that similar to a fine wine, they get better with age so you don’t have to worry about not using them. What’s the worst that can happen? You look even trendier?!

NATURAL

In preparation for Spring/Summer the trend ‘natural’ is in our opinion a must have. The earthy colours and fabrics make them the perfect bag, ideal for those beach clubs, spring days out and countryside picnics.

With neutral colour tones these bags are wardrobe staples that can be worn year in, year out, interchanged with all your favourite outfits. It has been noted that celebrities have been wearing rattan, raffia and canvas bags all year round, showing they are more than just a summer time bag.

Don’t forget to look out for part 2 of this series next Friday!
