Go Big or Go Home: For a long time, we were counting on micro bags that, with a little luck, would fit just a little change and a lipstick. After the mini trend, big things are coming up to us – really big things. Because the XXS bags are now followed by oversized models.
If we have just got used to the extremely hyped micro bags, they are being replaced by a new trend. Instead of extra-mini, it is now becoming extra-large – and we love it! Designers such as Bottega Veneta, Salvatore Ferragamo or even Jacquemus – who by the way just started the microtrend – let their models strut across the catwalks with oversized bags. The shape variation is similar to the new size of the It-Bags. We'll tell you which bags you need to have on the modern radar NOW.
Soft bags
The new, almost bag-like silhouettes at Bottega Veneta or Salvatore Ferragamo are super cool. The secret: Instead of using solid, structured materials as we know them from microbags, the designers are now using super soft leather. We love the look that gives us an extra dose of nonchalance when worn cross-body or crumpled under our arms.
Raffia bags
Stars like Rihanna, Kendall Jenner or influencer Caro Daur celebrate the super-small bags by Jacquemus. Last year, the designer presented his bestseller "Le Sac Chiquito" in a version just five centimeters small, driving the micro trend to the extreme.
But this year Jacquemus of all people is opting for XXL instead of XXS – in the form of oversized raffia bags. The French fashion designer seems to have a soft spot for extremes …
Tote bags
The Dior Book Tote can be seen as a pioneer of the currently popular big bags. And we still can't get enough of the boxy bags. Because: They are beautiful, practical and, thanks to their simple and timeless design, they go with everything. No wonder that other designers jumped on the bandwagon and chose tote bags. Good for us – so we have the choice and can recreate the look with affordable parts.
That is why we love the trend
Admittedly, we carried the mini bags up and down – but as the saying goes: everything has an end. And this trend was definitely not practical. Because whether in the office or on a shopping spree in the city: We already lacked a little space for cell phones, wallets, cosmetics, water bottles and the like – we can now get it back twice or three times. The only downside: With the XXL models, we have to dig a lot for our belongings. The solution: As with the micro bags, we use the slimmed-down version of the big bags and choose models that are a little bit less jumbo. Did you get a taste for it too? Then we have our favorite models for you to go shopping. Pssst: Some of them are currently even on sale!
