What Handbag Styles Are Hot For 2018?
What is great about SS18 is that there are bags to suit everybody’s individual style. This can range from large, super-sized bags featuring funky textures and prints to tiny, must-have micro bags that are small, take minimal effort but give you maximum impact. This season we are also seeing the return of the designer beach bag in classic straw and bright, vibrant alternatives, plus the iconic bum bag, which is perfect for any upcoming festivals that you may be planning on going to.
If you are looking for the avant guard look, you may want to look at Balenciaga bag? Or if you prefer something that is very sleek and modern then this Chloe bag from Ssense could be the perfect choice for you. If it is a sleek but still quite edgy design you are after, a Saint Laurent Bag could be the one for you. While these beautiful bags are quite pricey, they will pay for themselves if you invest wisely and work out the cost per wear!
