Statement bags have been a staple in fashion for as long as anyone can remember.
This Spring and Summer they will remain as crucial pieces to the world of fashion. Last season we saw a lot of
Gucci bags with the brand’s signature mix of piled-on prints, studs, jewels, embroidery and embellishments. The Marmont or Dionysus have been the favorites of bloggers and models.
We already know there will be new statement bags each season from each fashion label. The question is, will they deliver new designs, redesigns, and which ones will become timeless statement bags (if any)?
The infamous
Chanel label is known for creating timeless bags. The 2.55 is a bag that women love wearing because it is elegant, effortlessly beautiful and one worth remembering. Chanel knows the statement the wearer is trying to deliver. Women know Chanel is an expert, therefore they are even prouder to be owners of a 2.55. The value of the 2.55 is only increasing in stock, and there are people who are currently dedicated investors of Chanel bags.
Another fashion house of timeless style is
Hermès. The Birkin Bag still has waiting lists of more than five years which only makes hikes the prices up even more. The value of the Birkin is increasing steadily. If you are wearing a Birkin you don’t have to say, do or wear anything. In this case, the bag is everything.
This season we are looking at bags from
Valentino, that are looking like lipstick cases on chains,
Louis Vuitton showcasing the Petite Malle iPhone cases, Balenciaga inflated thight-slammers, Céline snap-fastening vintage looking lady bags, Fendi showing micro bags.
The latest bag trend simply involves wearing two or three statement bags at once. Gucci, Coach and Mulberry are showing how multiple bags are better together than apart. Just remember, you can never have enough bags.
This season, oversized is the trend that continues to influence fashion in every category. Proenza Schouler has took over the oversized bag and given it a makeover. This style is definitely one to watch out for.
Day clutches, on the other hand, make for an easy and dandy look. They are perfect for the modern on-the-go woman.
