When it comes to fashion accessories, there is nothing more important than a bag. However, those who keep their eye on the catwalk might have noticed more designers have been swapping backpacks for ‘lady bags’.
These handbags are minute in size, and considerably less practical than the 1990s trend of drawstring rucksacks, but they are quaint, chic and very popular at the moment, according to Refinery29.
“No, they can’t fit your planner (and probably not even your iPhone), but they do look damn fine when paired with pretty much anything in your closet… the cherry on top of your ice-cream of an outfit, if you will,” the article stated.
The great thing about ‘lady bags’ is that they pair really well with a glamorous evening do, as well as a casual jeans and T-shirt look. In fact, you don’t even have to feel or be lady-like to pull them off, as they complement each style in its unique way.
While they might be fashionable, however, many people do prefer a more practical option. So small in size, these accessories are often unable to hold your purse, pens, book, tablet, or even your smartphone!
This is not suitable for those who are on the go all day long, and need to carry all manner of things with them, from their laptops to their lunch.
Instead, a vintage backpack in the UK could be a better option. These can fit in a huge variety of things you need to hand throughout the day, with outside pockets providing easy access to essential items. The backpack design is still on trend, while the vintage leather appearance is one that will never date, making this an investment that will last from season to season.
