XXL bags, short handle bags, knitted bags, furry bags… The difference is in the detail, discover the autumn 2021 bag trend, our selection of bags that will complete your outfits for this season.
Short handle
The handle bags, one of the trends of this Autumn-Winter season. Designs that hang from the wrist with short handles, some of which are detachable and transform the bag into a clutch, as is the case with the YSL design. Others offer the alternative of a fold-over strap, such as the Snatched by Margiela in garish red with an origami-inspired varnish finish, and the Distorted bag by Acne.
Oversized
If you’re someone who needs to carry everything in your bag, you’ll love this trend. XXL bags in different sizes and shapes, from the Tod’s unlined flap bag to the large tote bags by Raf Simons and Burberry.
Point
The king of this winter: knitwear. In knitted leather with a semi-transparent finish on the Chloé handbag. In bucket shape with lace-up closure and removable polyester leather interior by Luisa Via Roma. In piuma cashmere lead-coloured Brunello Cucinelli fanny pack style or with golden stud details and removable chain so that the model can also be worn as a handbag, as in the Valentino braided knitted bag in a diamond pattern.
Embroidery
Who doesn’t like accessories with handmade touches? Handmade embroidery of pearls and multicoloured beads like the Etro suede Rainbow. The combination of beads gives birth to colourful floral designs such as the Tommy shoulder bag by Staud with leather trim and the Miu Miu hemp canvas Miu Miu with illuminated leather trim and metal shoulder strap. A true statement of art.
Furry
The furry bags are all the rage, in different textures, colours and shapes they are another of the big trends for this year. A furry touch in oversize short-handled Burberry and Fendi white and Fendi Cross-body straps, like the pastel blue Gcds and the autumnal brown Max Mara.
Candy box
The bombonnier bag is back in full swing. The design materials that have been seen on the catwalks are very diverse. From a bag made from raffia, such as the Serpenti Forever by Bulgari with a detachable handle. To the velvet bag with leather details by Louis Vuitton. On the other hand, the Bon Bon by Jimmy Choo stands out for its silky satin, embellished with small crystals and houndstooth print. The original Bombonier by Lidia Muro, made from recycled goatskin and lamb leather, features a foldable format and adjustable chain.
Microbags
The polar opposite of the oversize trend are the microbags. Their fervour was revived by French designer Jacquemus, who presented his “Le Chiquito” bag as part of his Spring-Summer 2018 collection. A micro bag, just 12 cm by 6 cm in size, which conquered the catwalks. For this autumn-winter season, Ferragamo presents the mini version of its Trifolio bag. The Laura Biagiotti metallic purple bag with removable shoulder strap features a handle that reproduces the designer’s monogram. Gcds presents a heart-shaped bag with gold details.
So much for the autumn 2021 bag trend, the highlights of the catwalks for this 202020/21 season. And you, which one do you choose?
