Are you a realist or a fantasist? Because it’s a toss-up when
it comes to the spring/summer 2020 bag trends. Maybe you can relate
to both camps – after all, who likes to be pigeon-holed? Instead, rejoice in
the fact that multifaceted choices await.
Raffia bags are the annual stalwarts of summer, but now
they’re so polished, they’re deserving of desk-side positions in the office,
too. Silhouette-wise, we’re getting behind the super sac – a slouchy,
hold-everything, cross-body bag that will add nonchalance to any suiting look
or beach shirt cover-up. And forever appeal is more valuable than ever: the
bucket bag, oversized clutch and gold-clasped shoulder bag are vintage-looking
heirlooms with a modern twist that makes them feel right for now.
And remember those fantasists we spoke of? Well, the wave of
micro and necklace bags will surely appeal to those with little to no baggage.
Elsewhere, mood-lifting rainbow brights are trending. Here’s Vogue’s guide
to the seven definitive bag trends for this summer – and beyond.
Loewe
It doesn’t take a psychic to predict that 2020’s summer
months will skip merrily hand-in-hand with raffia accessories. No doubt, we’ll
be eagerly packing up our straw baskets for the beach in August. But how about
a tote, bucket or shoulder bag that’s boardroom-friendly, too? Setting the
agenda, Prada’s array of crafted bags paired with sharp, tailored separates
will surely inspire many similar styling reincarnations in the workplace. At
Loewe, its latest hit bag, the Balloon, came in leather-encased raffia, matched
up with our current favourite wardrobe piece, the trench coat. Note, too,
Valentino, where neat, oversized, cross-body bags ticked the “round-the-clock
appeal” box with day-to-night tropical print dresses. And, at Celine, Hedi
Slimane proved that a Jane Birkin-esque combination of denim with raffia is a
fast-track to chic.
