From the sublime to the oversized, bags are an exciting hot topic for the season ahead. Whether bags for you spell fetish or merely an everyday practicality, a bag, without doubt, will complete your look. Pocket envy is all well and good but, if you’re anything like me, a bag ensures a certain sense of security be it a receptacle for my precious ‘stuff’ or purely something to do with my hands that pouches simply could not provide.

So, let’s have a look at the top trends for Spring/Summer 2023.

Make It Big

We’ve already mentioned the oversized bag which will dominate the high street this season. And believe me, you won’t go unnoticed with these statement bags. Bright colours such as red and yellow are popular choices while the jumbo oversized is a stand-out in its own right. Good luck finding your cell phone!

Twinkle Twinkle

Add a touch of glitter and glamour to your life with bags sporting glitzy detail such as metallics, sequins and sparkles. These shiny pieces come in a variety of shades and styles. Keep it simple with classic silver and golds or embrace pastels for truly summery style.

Wrist Taker

The little wristlet will lend a flirtatious feel to your look - ideal for those warm weather months. In deep contrast to the oversized bag, the wristlet requires a minimalist philosophy culminating in a purse, a cell phone and a lipstick at most. Keep it classy with a chic style or up the ante with a unique quirky style wristlet bag. Either way, the wristlet bag will add a totally on-trend dimension to your outfit this season.

Denim & Blues

As a blast from the past, the denim bag takes centre stage bringing ramped up retro style to the high street. Handled bags, shoulder bags and distressed denim all take us back to the 90s but with a fashion-forward revamp. Update your look and add casual chic to your look this season with a denim bag.

It Feels Good

Textured bags are another hot trend for the months ahead. Unique fabrics such as feathers, frills and fringes adorn these summer bags creating a frou frou feel. You’ll find the textured aesthetic on clutches, sack bags and all your favourite styles so you’ll be spoilt for choice.
