A handbag is no longer just for carrying everyday necessities. It has evolved into an essential design statement for everyone. Whether it is a dine-out or an office meeting, the handbag comes to save the day.
The creative minds of designers also push the limits and introduce new bags every season. Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw sported a pigeon bag on New York street, which created a buzz among handbag enthusiasts. After that, JW Anderson's pigeon clutch got an optimistic response and sold out in no time.
The same goes for Gucci's horse-bit shoulder bag, as the chain strap bag can be used in multiple ways. Louis Vuitton's Go-14 handle bag created a special segment among celebrities with 'What's in my bag?' where celebrities share their intimate belongings with the fans.
As trends continue, listed below are some upcoming handbag trends.
