The Crossbody bag is a fabulous option for those days when you don’t need to lug around everything, but the bathroom sink. Handy for a quick coffee date or just a casual movie outing with the gang. Wallet, lipstick, keys, sanitizer, sunglasses- check. Passport photos, extra USB drive, safety pins, banana clip- Not required!! Carry around your essentials while keeping things chic and casual. If you want to keep things stylish, opt for a rich colour like red, navy or even sea green in a luxe material.
The Bagpack trend is majorly on revival mode and boy are we loving it!! A great option for a day full of exploring the city with your bey or shopping with the gals. This super stylish option lets you keep your essentials at hand, while letting you keep your hands free for more important things like carrying coffee or more shopping bags. Opt for a pop colour like pink or yellow in patent or a fun floral print to keep things exciting.
The Clutch is a nifty alternate when you want to just step out for a quick round of errands or just hang with your bestie for coffee and gossip. Just big enough to carry the basics and little enough to grab and go, it’s a blessing for impromptu planned movie nights. If you are just planning one stop and back, this is the perfect bag for the occasion. A fun digital print or ikat weave in a structured style will help you add pizzaz even to a basic distressed denim and T-shirt look.
The Minaudiere is the ideal carrier of bare necessities for a formal evening out. Just enough to fit a phone, lipstick and a credit card, it is black tie appropriate and your saviour at formal affairs and cocktail bashes. If you are tempted to play it safe with a neutral colour, then pick up one with fun textural details such as a Swarovski encrusted clip or an all beaded exterior to elevate your formal look to divalicious.
