Marilyn Monroe sang “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend”, but in fact, the bag will be the best friend who has seen it all. From evenings out to day trips exploring new cities, our bags have been with us through the best and the worst of the times. Sometimes, they need a much-deserved break, and yes – we will use any excuse to buy a new bag!
Another season is upon us, and that means that there are new bag trends out there waiting to be explored. There are so many different looks that have hit the runway, and you need to start investing in looks that will turn heads – and bags are always part of the look. From the fabulous designer crossbody bags to holdalls, there are so many styles to choose from, but which ones are the hottest ones to pick?
Burgundy
It’s no secret that burgundy has been a firm favourite for a while, but it is more on-trend than ever this season. Burgundy will compliment anything – pastels, florals, neutrals, you name it, burgundy goes with it. Vivenne Westwood’s New Heart Crossbody Bag is the statement bag you need – this burgundy heart-shaped bag will certainly capture your heart. Its crossbody chain in gold will add an elegant touch to any look, and even a hint of Parisian chic!
Mini bags
Remember the phase when the Jacquemus mini bag was all the rage? Well mini bags are back, and though they may not be the most practical, they add a playful touch to your outfits. The Mini Yasmine Chain Bag from Vivienne Westwood is ideal for autumn/winter. In tartan-print mohair, it has baby pink details for a striking effect. It can be worn as a crossbody and a handbag, and is the perfect size for your basics.
XXL shoulder bags
Looking for something dramatic? Something that will make an entrance yet has a nonchalant edge? Then you’re in luck – XXL shoulder bags are back. Make it effortless yet statement with the Large Agnes Shoulder Bag by Vivienne Westwood. We love the draped effect, that will perfectly suit any outfit – casual or dressy. Just swing it over your shoulder and you’re good to go!
Clutches
We know – clutches have always been in, but we’ve been seeing a lot more of them on the runway! If you’re looking for a classic style to get you started, then the Vivienne’s Clutch by Vivienne Westwood is your go-to. It is both masculine and feminine, bold yet subtle, thanks to its black suede exterior and Union Jack print interior.
Holdalls
You can’t go wrong with a holdall – it literally does what it says on the tin! Carry around your essentials everyday with an oversized style that will allow you to store away your belongings securely and in style. Looking for the dream holdall? Fall for the Large Mara Holdall by Vivienne Westwood. Its buttery tan leather and spacious design make it an unmissable piece for your autumn/winter wardrobe.

By investing in high-end labels, you will be able to treasure these pieces for years to come, so think of the number of outfits you’ll get out of them!
