This classic 90s bag is back in a very big way, everyone, so get ready to feel incredibly nostalgic…
Whether you’re still in autumn mode, or already looking to new season winter collections dropping online daily, there’s one item that works across all seasons: the baguette bag.
You may remember the long, short handled shoulder bag from the 90s and 00s. Back then, they were practically the icing on the cake to every ‘jeans and a nice top’ combo, and now they’re back. So much so, Lyst’s Year in Fashion report (revealing the most powerful brands, people and searches) has noted that the iconic Fendi baguette bag saw a 164% rise in search, with Paco Rabanne’s nostalgic bags following in close second.
Of course, there are other styles like the half moon bags and the micro minis (naturally including Jacquemus) that are getting our attention this season, but the shoulder bag shows no sign of going anywhere. So, how do you style them?
German influencer Caro Daur (seen above) shows how to style the Fendi baguette bag with a more grown-up feel. Teaming with a sleek trench coat and trousers combo, it works just as well as a hand-held.
The shoulder bag is one of those styles you can incorporate into any outfit. From day to after dark they’re the accessory that’ll work round the clock. This is why when our fashion team spotted even more styles popping up in the ‘new in’ sections of everyone’s favourite brands – including Zara, Topshop and Mango – they took it upon themselves to show you the best ones.
From high street to original Fendi options from the pre-loved sections, these are the best baguette bags to shop, and wear, for 2019 and beyond.
Mango
If you want a bag that’ll go effortlessly with any outfit you own (no thought required), then of course you need to go for black.
This glossy Mango style is the under £30 update you’ll wear on repeat from this season, to the next.
