If a trend conquers me, I like it to stay in my closet forever. I am not necessarily guided by what is worn and what is not, but rather by wearing those clothes and accessories that make me feel good and with which I identify. However, it would be absurd not to admit that season after season there are things that are in and others out, a fashion criterion that applies to all the elements that gravitate in the sector and the bags were not going to get off scot-free.

The bags that do not exceed the cut note this season
the ironic
Yes, yes, by this name you will not recognize them, but don’t worry, I’ll tell you. I like to use this concept referring to those little bags that are ideal at the design level but totally useless, in the literal sense of the word.
Perhaps the best example of them is Le Chiquito in its smallest size of Jacquemus. Does this mean that we are going to stop seeing this model at a stroke? No, not at all, especially since it has already become an icon of the brand’s hallmark, but its replicas and inspirations will be left behind, although there are still some loopholes such as some very cute crochet Zara, the fabric of the summer.
This is partly also due to the trend we are seeing increasingly called recession corewhich competes with everything flashy and curious about the trend in fashion of Generation Z. The term alludes to a much more sober, neutral, discreet, functional and reusable style, associating its rise with the political, ecological, health, humanitarian and therefore economic that we are currently going through.
Either you pass or you don’t arrive
At the other end of the scale in terms of size are the mega clutchespopularized in the last hours mainly by the Pouch by Bottega Veneta that has been walking through all the fashion weeks and the Instagram accounts of the big companies influencers since 2020.
As in Alexandra Pereira’s photo, to take advantage of it instead of banishing them into exile on the last shelf, add a chain, something I’ve also seen with Fendi’s First, a design that I love.
The motive behind this change of scenery? Simply the comfort, since the maxi bags are stomping very hard, but of course, with handles so that it is possible to give it a more real use.
classic structured
Surely you have a bag in your dressing room box type or bucket and I, despite what I am going to tell you, I encourage you to continue using them.
What’s happening? Well, this year the structures have changed and revolve around a more futuristic and fanciful aesthetic, as is the case with the half-moon or oval bags from Coperni or Loewe as we saw in the post about the nine trends of this 2023.
bag over bag
Unlike the jean, one of the color trends this spring-summer with the denim on denim on denim… That double bag has already passed away.
What was it about? Well, of something that from the first moment it was clear that it was going to be a flash in the pan and that Louis Vuitton, with the Multipochette, and Prada insisted on putting us between eyebrows.
Something new for summer: crochet raffia
As I mentioned earlier, crochet together with linen are the king of summer fabrics and the former is going to be a big hit this year, even in bags. So much so that perhaps it supersedes the raffia classics a bit, even the Loewe basket or the tote bag Dior printed, with that I tell you everything!
As we already saw with Melyssa Pinto and her Pull&Bear model, crochet bags are going to be the trend in the coming months and you may even be able to cross Spain jumping from one to another.
On the catwalk we have seen them in proposals for Alberta Ferretti, Dior or Isabel Marant.
