Chloé has form when it comes to created covetable bags. There’s the Paddington, the Marcie, and the fairly recent C bag and now there’s a new one set to take the crown as the most popular Chloé bag—the Kiss. First spotted on the fashion house’s spring/summer 2021 runway, the Kiss is an elegant bag that comes in a variety of muted tones as well as a bold green (one of 2021’s hottest hues), black and yellow.  Flashy isn’t a word I’d ever use to describe my wardrobe. Sure, I’ll wear sequins around Christmas and I have nothing against lurex or bright colours but on the whole, I keep things fairly simple. It’s why, then, that Chloé’s latest It bag has caught my eye. It comes in a few different styles; a small version, the hobo or t...

Be it Bottega Veneta, Chloé, Hermès, The Row or Chanel, we spend a good amount of our time swooning over designer handbags. While our arm-candy allowance isn’t quite what we’d like it to be, we never feel that we’re missing out, mainly because there are so many affordable handbag brands that are creating bags just as covetable as those with four-figure price tags.  Still, the word “affordable” is hard to pinpoint. For one person, it might be £30 spent on the high-street. For another, it could be an excellent charity shop find that rings in at £5. And, for some, it could be something as high as £300. We think, however, for something such as a bag to be deemed affordable, it all comes down to how much you’ll actually use it.  You Deserv...

If there’s one accessory that epitomises the ’90s, it’s surely the baguette bag. Just one glimpse at its teeny proportions and dainty shoulder strap will take you thundering down memory lane to a time when jeans were low-slung and crop-tops were in plentiful supply. For me, the trend has connotations of chick-flick heroines, glamazon girl-band members and, well, Regina George. As an accessory, it certainly had a particular ‘look’ attached to it.

Sifting through all the glorious newness that the spring and summer runways brought us not too long ago felt like such a breath of fresh air (especially compared to the stuffiness of the same boring sweat outfit I have been wearing on repeat since, oh, I don’t know, March last year?). So far, we’ve reported on the biggest spring trends overall, the biggest accessories trends, and the biggest shoe trends, and today, we’re here to hone in a bit tighter and share with you the most important handbag trends of 2021. At this point, who really knows how often we will be relying on our handbags as much as we used to? But if I know you all like I think I do, it’s safe to assume that no matter what the new norm ends up being, buying cute accessories will always...

As the bags touched down on Net-a-Porter last week, senior market editor Libby Page has this to say about the shopping behemoth’s latest recruit: “New York brand Savette debuted their luxury handbag collection this season, and we envisage they will be a highlight for us this spring. All Savette pieces are produced in Italy, bringing together the traditional artisanal leathercraft and modernist sculptural forms. A year in the making, the first collection has an overall refined aesthetic. Our favourite is the multifunctional box bag in tan—she has modernised this classic handbag shape and made it suitable for any occasion.” Page’s last words (“for any occasion”) resonate with us. If the last year has taught us anything, it’s to not save our...

Raffia tote bags have been a hallmark of the quintessential summer wardrobe for decades. From Brigitte Bardot to Kate Moss and Alexa Chung, over the years, many stylish women have chosen the item for beach days, park picnics and beyond.  However, while the carryall has typically held an under-the-radar, effortless kind of appeal, last year raffia tote bags became quite the It item thanks to Spanish luxury brand, Loewe. Featuring an adjustable leather handle and the brand’s instantly recognisable insignia, Loewe’s raffia totes bags became somewhat ubiquitous amongst the fashion set. From Camille Charriere to Pernille Teisbeak, the item (which is available in various colours and sizes) graced my Instagram feed more times than I co...

Our editorial team is fast-forwarding to spring already. We are completely and utterly done with puffer coats and chunky boots for now—thank you very much. So it is rather fortuitous that the latest Who What Wear Collection drop of bags and shoes has arrived at Zalando (and soon to Kurt Geiger) to help us skip straight into the new season. While we may not be able to legitimately frolic around in a floaty dress or consider wearing minis quite yet, it is possible to switch up accessories in order to feel like our outfits have been suitably revamped with spring in mind. You may or may not know, but these drops are based on editor-driven trend picks, and rather than providing every single shoe or bag style known on earth, it’s about a concise curation. You’ll only find t...

Our editorial team is fast-forwarding to spring already—we are completely and utterly done with puffer coats and chunky boots for now, thank you very much. So, it is rather fortuitous and wonderful timing that the latest Who What Wear Collection of bags and shoes has arrived at Zalando (and soon to Kurt Geiger) to help us skip straight into the new season.

If, like me, you’re desperate for an antidote to all this impractical fashion, let me introduce you to the macro tote, aka your new bag best friend. It can fit roughly 30 Le Chiquitos in it, and these bags are a living embodiment of the axiom “the bigger, the better,” thanks to their roomy interiors and generous proportions. Purse, keys, phone? That’s nothing—these bags will fit your lunch box, water bottle, book, hairbrush, etc. Essentially, everything except the kitchen sink. If this isn’t enough, the macro tote is also so easy to buy on a budget, as there are so many expensive-looking iterations floating around on the high street. Mango and COS are looking particularly chic with their clean, minimalistic designs that will make any outfit look instantly...

Earlier this year, there was a handbag that kept popping up on my Instagram feed, toted by some of the most stylish women I follow. It was a cream, bouclé clutch bag and if I’m being honest, I initially wrote off the item, under the assumption it was a unachievably-priced designer confection. However, upon closer inspection I realised that the item was in fact from high-street retailer, Cos.

Congrats—we’re almost out of the thick of winter! In due time puffers and shearling coats will be a thing of the past, so let’s shift focus to a few spring trends to celebrate the occasion. From filing folders to market totes and gargantuan carryalls, we’ve already seen this season’s handbags take shape in several diverse forms. But of course, it’s not just the silhouettes that we’re excited about—plenty of bold colours are also on the menu. While it’s expected to see loads of punchy pigments on the spring runways (like powder blue and lime green in 2020), we’ve noticed a few new shades frequently cropping up across a gambit of designers like Versace, Bottega Veneta, and Valentino. Marking a change from last year, rich, bold hues like saffron and ...

Nylon is practically synonymous with Prada. Back in the ’80s unlike any other of the power fashion houses, which predominantly worked with leather, the brand managed to turn this material into a must-have accessory. Miuccia Prada launched the nylon backpack in 1984, and while this particular style remains a hit there are two ’90s and ’00s bags that continue to be incredibly popular among the fashion crowd: the Nylon and Saffiano bags.  True, the early noughties were a very different time. Paris Hilton was one of the world’s most talked-about celebrities, Destiny’s Child was the band everyone had on their portable CD players and Brad Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston. And although there are plenty of trends we’ll happily leave in t...
