You may have already seen it on Instagram, worn by your favorite influencers. So why is everyone talking about this handbag, and how to adopt it this winter?
This winter, one accessory continues to stand out. Spotted in the majority of major brands, it is on the way to becoming the essential of the season. Chic and minimalist, discover how it brilliantly combines style and practicality.
It wasn’t that long ago that handbags followed the rule of “the smaller, the better.” But times have changed, and the need to effortlessly carry your essentials has turned things around. Thus, like the irreplaceable fanny pack, the latter offers large capacity without sacrificing style. It is no coincidence that this trend reminds us of the beginnings of big houses like Louis Vuitton or Hermès.
Already at the heart of high-end collections, it is now available in more affordable versions. Note that its cylindrical format is not just a question of aesthetics. It provides optimal storage for those who juggle busy days. Designers revisited it at the beginning of the year, and it has since invaded the shelves of the most popular brands. This is the barrel bag. Inspired by cylindrical sports bags, it has found a place of choice in wardrobes thanks to its modern look.
Among the most famous models, the Louis Vuitton Papillon perfectly illustrates this trend. Designed in 1966, it was a must-have in the 2000s before disappearing from the radar. Today, it returns to the forefront, modernized and adopted by a new generation.
In its contemporary version, this bag is equipped with details such as chain handles, a removable shoulder strap and a range of sizes and colors. So whether you prefer a casual or sophisticated look, it will perfectly complement your outfit.
In the evening, the smaller models also know how to make themselves indispensable. Their compact format goes perfectly with a party outfit. As for the larger options, they’re ideal for a day at the office or a quick getaway.
Brands like Zara, Mango and H&M have therefore competed in ingenuity to offer you their best versions on the shelves. Among our favorites: the double handle bowling bag for 39.99 euros at Mango, the oblong shoulder bag for 25.99 euros at H&M and the red imitation leather bag for 16 euros at Kiabi. Were you still hesitating? It’s time to get cracking.
