Update Bags: Shapes & Details

For a new age. Accessories surely represent the most fertile ground for design experimentation in eclectic and dressed-up seasons that seek to catch-up on the pandemic pause. Bags continue to be inspired by a futuristic mindset, re-inventing traditional shapes with innovative, think-outside the box angles. This season stands out due to its abundance of iconic shapes. In particular, structured geometrical bodies are dominating the bag offer this season. The mix reaches from angular, squared, circular and wavy designs with distinct outlines and memorable effects. These sleek and compact bags have a strong appeal for consumers as it-bags to spice-up paired-back outfits. Eager to invest in statement accessories, the array of geometric styles promises to be timeless while incorporating a distinct modernity. Traditional styles surround the more local and mundane styles, exploring basket bags with surprising rubber materials for a futurist corner shop effect or adding a sporty twist to tote bags. At the same time, a sense of luxe is introduced by refining crafty models with elegant details, contrasting smooth leathers with raw straws.
