THE ESSENTIAL IT-BAGS OF THE MOMENT
By Amandine Rouhaud | March 10, 2023
Everyday companion and finishing touch for a look, the handbag is a daily essential. While choosing one can turn into a delicate task, there are several that work every time. The proof in 10 handbags.
With the Tote Bag, Marc Jacobs released one of its cult styles. As a tote or chic carryall, this style comes in different materials for different effects. In cotton canvas, it adds a little touch of elegance to casual, summery looks, while the leather version offers something more luxe. It's a model that, season after season, proves itself to be timeless.
Iconic model from the Italian brand Bottega Veneta, the Cassette bag is asserting itself as a must-have of the moment. Since the 1970s, Bottega Veneta has been developing its technique for woven leather, which has become a brand signature. If the Cassette is a success, it's certainly thanks to this classic style which has evolved over time. It also comes in a padded version for a slightly inflated look!
The first bag designed by Jonathan Anderson for Loewe, the Puzzle has become a real classic for this Spanish brand specialising in leather. Formed by puzzle-like layered bands of leather, the Puzzle brings delight to lovers of geometric design. Now available in a large palette of colours, this bag is not just a classic, it's a work of art.
An iconic Prada classic, the triangle bag is available in an XXL version and in black leather, bringing a little studied geometry to the most casual looks. The bag really reveals its splendour after dark, with the mini version and its golden rhinestones!
Before the Bambimou, there was the Bambino. A real classic of the young designer Jacquemus, today, the Bambino has grown up into the leather Bambimou. With its generous curves and its pop sorbet colours, this bag's got it all to become a new essential!
The signature bag of the French duo behind Coperni, the Swipe has become the charming cherry atop a full wardrobe. Inspired by the swipe function of smartphones, Coperni's Swipe brings together modernity and tradition thanks to the choice of materials. Futurism is intrinsic to the brand and this bag is the ultimate proof.
Balenciaga doesn't do anything halfway. No half-steps are taken by this Spanish brand, which offers models in textured materials and metallic details with straps. The Cagole bag is an unapologetic fact. This Balenciaga classic is available in different sizes to be your ally for day and night.
The essential for city dwellers seeking a bag that will last without showing signs of age? The A.P.C. demi-lune! In 10 years, this timeless Parisian model has become a must-have. Minimalist and stylish, the demi-lune reinvents itself in a range of materials and colours to suit each season. Very quickly, this curved half-moon bag became a part of the brand's DNA.
A timeless symbol, the Prada Luggage bag is an essential for fans of the 90s and 00s. It's well known that the Milanese brand has a long history with nylon! This cult material was recently abandoned by the brand in favour of Econyl, a nylon made from recycled fibres. In this way, this big name in luxury is embarking on an environmental campaign, offering a range of Re-Nylon! It's a better approach, and one that doesn't compromise on style. If there's one essential to have in your closet, it's this one.
Is there anything cuter than the heart-shaped bag from Coach? Doubtful. Lovers of original handbags may have already fallen for this romantic, kawaii look. Now's the perfect moment to add a touch of romance to your looks, even the most serious ones.
