Women's fashionable bags of the year. Fashionable models of the season. Upholstery printed bags
Bags obey the laws of style, and this is not news to anyone. A beautiful accessory magically loses its heaviness: it is pleasant to carry, no matter how much it weighs. Especially if all the little details in the image are selected in accordance with current trends. So take fashion seriously - choose fashionable women's bags fall-winter 2018-2019, but do not neglect your own taste.
Metallic finish
The delicate shimmer of gilding, silver shimmer, and bronze shine in the light have become a hit of the autumn-winter season. Don’t hesitate – have time to add bags decorated in this way to your wardrobe. They can be combined with metallic trousers, skirts, and dresses. The situation is simplified by the fact that couturiers offer the most unexpected colors, radically different from the usual classic palettes, as well as interesting stylization techniques such as the holographic effect. 
Cross-body handbags
The bags, which are carried on a long strap over the shoulder, come in an impressive range. There is literally everything here, from massive travel options to small models different shades(dark, pastel, with contrasting inserts). Size and shape are also almost unlimited. Some of the accessories are equipped with additional handles for convenience, but even without this, the cross-body holds securely and does not fall off.
Feel free to choose this style if you don’t need to carry around a whole bunch of necessary little things. These bags are small, but quite functional. They look good, especially since designers suggest using cross-body in the autumn-winter season not only in muted, but also in the brightest colors. 
Saddle bag
She is also a postwoman, a saddle bag. Allows you to free your hands, which is especially appreciated in the cold season, when you want to hide them in your pockets. It is an excellent alternative to a clutch, which gets in the way at parties, constantly distracting with its “unattached” appearance. Roomy, but not bulky: you can easily carry it on a strap. 
Paired accessories
What can you do, sometimes everything you need just doesn’t fit in one bag. Fashion designers foresaw a similar situation, finding a clever solution to the problem. Without thinking twice, they suggested using cute pairs of bags: the first larger one for basic things and the second smaller one for small things. This funny trend continues from season to season and doesn’t even think about losing ground. 
Now leather and suede shoppers have become popular. They go shopping with them, putting a lot of purchases into bottomless accessories. And this, surprisingly, does not in any way affect the appearance of fashion products. What’s interesting is the overall size voluminous thing in itself, it has practically no weight, which causes admiration among shopping lovers. 
Boho style
The 3rd year of his reign has begun, and nothing has changed in the new season - boho is still in trend, and is gradually taking over accessories. In particular, in the fall and winter it will not be uncommon to see bags with fringes, such hippie things with a non-trivial texture. 
Box bags
Fashionable box bags are also called boxes. These are something like small suitcases and delightful boxes that stand on a shelf at home, filled with jewelry or cosmetics. Designers have made such handbags mega-fashionable by adding different prints, appliqués and playing a little with shapes. Available with long or short handles, rounded or sharp corners.
Classic
Hard bags are considered traditional, so the beginning of 2018 will not be complete without them. They can be entered into Office Style, adding rigor to the image and placing in a reliable accessory what a business person needs: a netbook, documents, folders, wallet, etc. Just one look at a classic item automatically puts you in a serious mood, because the clarity of the lines sets the right mood.
In order not to fall into too conservative moods, couturiers dared to dilute the gloom with fresh shades: laconic matte color blocks, smoky gray tones, monochrome palettes. The decoration is also very original: products decorated with fur or made to look like python skin are a modern interpretation of traditions. 
Backpacks
No matter what anyone says, this is a worthy replacement for a handbag. Nowadays they are made so stylish, bright, and extraordinary that you want to touch such a work of art with your hands. Well, no one has canceled the most ordinary backpacks either. They are quite comfortable and roomy, and are also an indispensable element of urban style. 
Fur
Fur is the main star of the cold period. Even handbags are insulated with it, becoming a mega-fashionable wardrobe item. By the way, there are practically no restrictions when choosing these fluffy accessories. My only advice: focus on smoky gray and all shades of brown to be sure to be on trend. 
Envelope clutches
Fashionable women's bags of 2019 really resemble postal envelopes, made of several layers of leather. Thin clutches are a must-have, especially if they look as simple as possible. Excesses are not welcome here: just playing with sizes and shapes is enough. Moreover, by 2019, it has become important to carry such bags in the palm of your hand, hooking them onto your wrist with a special handle. So the abundance of decorative elements will only get in the way. 
Velvet models
Velvet is the leading texture of the season, which has migrated from evening looks to everyday wear. If previously only exquisite outfits were made from it, now everything is much more prosaic: a lot of shoes and accessories made from this fabric have appeared on the catwalks. 
Bags that repeat the print on clothes
Monolook is fashionable. But now the most relevant ultra-mono-look is now. A few seasons ago it was important to choose a handbag to match the dress. Now a lot has changed - the accessory must also absolutely match in design, forming a harmonious “duet” with the clothes. Of course, doing this in reality is very difficult, almost impossible, but there are chances, especially for needlewomen. 
Products with a tail
Or rather, with a long fur keychain that resembles a fluffy tail of unnatural colors. You can even attach it to last year's favorite bag to make it trendy and wear it for another autumn-winter period. 
Lots of circuits
At the border of 2018 and 2019, accessories with chains used as a strap, handle or non-functional decorative element will be in fashion. The priority is massive links with gold or silver plated. 
Semicircular women's bags
Fashionable semicircular women's bags look quite cute and non-trivial. Although they do not have corners, this does not affect the capacity. Of course, you can’t put A4 documents there, but why do you need papers at a party? 
Shocking handbag options
Fashionable women's bags fall-winter 2018-2019 could not do without the original imagination of the couturier. Bags in the shape of books, chandeliers, or giant skeins of thread are unlikely to find use in real life, but they have a right to exist, because they look like incredible works of modern art. 
A bag is a very important accessory, because, firstly, it often completes or complements an image, and secondly, it makes a woman’s life much easier. And since fashion trends are constantly changing, you need to always be up to date. Find out which bags will be trendy in 2016!
Styles
First of all, you should choose suitable style bags. In 2016, the following variations are trending:
- Clutches, and bright and bold ones, for example, in punk style. And especially relevant are models on massive chains, decorated with rivets or spikes. Moreover, designers advise combining them with feminine clothes, for example, tight knitted or flowing and light chiffon dresses. This contrast will emphasize femininity and make the image brighter.
- The so-called “bags” and “trunks” are suitable for active girls or, for example, young mothers who need to carry a lot of things necessary for their child.
- Shoulder pocket. This bag really looks like a pocket that fits comfortably on (or across) your shoulder and secures well. And it is very practical and convenient.
- This year, the designers took care of the active representatives of the fairer sex and decided to almost completely free their hands. In many collections famous brands There are often convenient bags that can be attached to your belt.
- Satchel bags have been extremely popular for several seasons in a row, and in 2016 they will continue to be relevant. And this model, by the way, is one of the most spacious, which modern girls and women will definitely appreciate (you can put so much inside that you no longer have to think about what to give up).
- Do you absolutely dislike bags or suffer from back pain due to such accessories? Modern designers have also not left you and people like you short, creating ultra-modern and stylish backpacks. And leather ones of the simplest styles and shapes will become especially popular. By the way, a backpack does not have to be combined with exclusively sports-style clothing. It can be worn with jeans and trousers, skirts and even romantic dresses. Choose the right model and create a stylish youth look!
- Bags “a la postman” with a long strap also remain in trend. And they are especially loved by young representatives of the fair sex.
- Trapeze bags also do not leave the fashion catwalks. Besides the fact that they are quite roomy and comfortable, such unusual shape can dilute even the most boring image.
- The trend is flat rectangular bags that resemble envelopes or folders. You can’t call them practical and roomy, but you definitely can’t argue with the fact that they look stylish. Surely such a model will be appreciated by business women who have nowhere to put important documents.
- Box bags. This original model can complement an extravagant outfit or dilute a casual or office look. The capacity, by the way, is quite normal, at least everything you need will definitely fit inside.
- In 2016, designers pleased us with bags of the most unusual shapes, and sometimes quite unexpected ones. Yes, in the collections fashion houses Models in the form of sponges for washing dishes, drums, petals, bags, hearts and so on were presented. Try experimenting too!
- Bags with a semicircular bottom. It won’t be possible to place them on a flat surface, but it looks so feminine, neat, cute and soft that you can forgive any other shortcomings.
- "Bag in a bag." This model is very original, because looking at it, you might think that the owner placed one accessory inside another or combined two items.
But how can you decide among such diversity? Knowing the fashion trends of 2016 is not enough; when choosing a bag, you need to take into account the rhythm and lifestyle, clothing style, and preferences. So, if you prefer femininity and romance, then choose a small handbag.
If capacity comes first for you, then choose a volumetric model. In general, the bag should fit you perfectly and be as comfortable as possible to use.
Materials
During the cold season, bags made of fur or at least with fur elements are especially popular. And you don’t have to buy it at all expensive product made from natural fur, artificial fur is also quite suitable, especially since modern manufacturers have learned to imitate any materials and achieve almost one hundred percent compliance. And dyed fur, in the most unimaginable colors, will be especially relevant!
Leather is still in trend, but not ordinary, but more original, for example, crocodile or snake. But textiles are not as popular as they used to be. This is probably due to the fact that this material is completely impractical. Although thick waterproof fabric is quite suitable.
Colors and prints
This season pleases with the variety not only in styles, but also in colors, and this can be seen in the photos from fashion shows. It's just a riot of colors! These are especially popular fashionable shades like mint and indigo.
But it is worth paying attention to shades of green; many bags that can be worn in spring were presented in them. Summer models can be even brighter, for example, orange, yellow or blue.
Prints also allow you to experiment. Various animal designs, such as python, leopard, crocodile or zebra stripe, are still in fashion. Geometric, abstract and floral patterns are also relevant. Moreover, on the bag there can be a whole masterpiece in the form of an image of some bird or wild animal.
Decor
Decor is not only appropriate, but sometimes mandatory, even if you choose a model for every day.
Particularly popular decorative elements:
- Fringe has been in fashion for several seasons in a row, and famous designers still can’t give it up, everyone loves it so much! But still, you shouldn’t overdo it, otherwise your accessory will look like some kind of mop or a disheveled wig. One or two strips of fringe will be enough.
- Children's applications. Yes, yes, if you want to look stylish and, importantly, young, then buy a model, for example, with Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck or another cartoon character. But it is advisable to combine it with everyday clothes, and not with formal suits or evening dresses.
- Stones of various sizes from small to very large. They can be multi-colored, sparkling and assembled into whole compositions. In general, everything is the way girls like it.
- Embroidery is also in fashion. Animals, birds, or even portraits or entire landscapes can be embroidered.
- Metal fittings. If previously such details were attributed exclusively to rough styles, today, on the contrary, they are combined with feminine items of clothing, thereby creating interesting and stylish contrasts.
Some useful tips:
- If in past seasons it was customary to select bags to match shoes, then this year clothing is taken as the main criterion. Moreover, it is necessary to achieve an almost complete match, and not only in color, but also in print. As a result, you can create a perfectly harmonious tandem!
- Any self-respecting girl should have several bags for all occasions in her arsenal, so you shouldn’t limit yourself to just one model.
- It is very important to choose suitable size. And it will depend not only on capacity, but also on your build. You should not allow strong contrasts, so if you are a petite girl, then the bag should be small.
Now you can definitely buy a fashionable and stylish bag!
They say that the way you carry your bag can say a lot about your character, temperament and even your current mood. For example, a small handbag with a long strap, with which the owner covers the front of her thighs, is a sign of shyness and shyness. But if the housewife carries a bag on her arm, bent at the elbow, then, obviously, she seeks to emphasize her social status. However, in the coming season, world designers urge us to change our habits and not “tie” your character and lifestyle to your bag. A bag is an accessory that, first of all, is created to complement an image, and not a psychological portrait, and therefore designers offer us at least 30 different options for handbags both for every day and for special occasions. Let specialists in non-verbal communications decide what trait of our character a particular trend speaks about, but we have one answer to all this: we just love fashion.
Crossbody bags
Considering that most of the autumn-winter shows sang odes to adventure, adventurism and laid-back sprezzatura, cross-body bags simply could not help but become the No. 1 trend. Taking a small bag, throwing it over your shoulder and rushing to conquer big cities is the ideal lifestyle in the minds of most famous designers. Moreover, for the coming season they have developed countless options in different sizes and color solutions.
The latest shows had it all: from crazy, tight to the body and replete with various details, Prada bags and ending with theatrical dress code-inspired black Valentino small bags.
A real discovery were small cross-body bags with small handles at the top, made of reptile skin from Givenchy, multi-colored models from Burberry and flirty pink handbags from Gucci. These bags can be worn not only from the front. You can boldly throw them back, as Chanel and Chloé offer.
Reticule
Women's handbags in the form of small bags, or reticules, seem like hello from the 19th century, but for the autumn-winter season, designers have modernized the vintage model so much that today it has become a must-have. Now handbags look very stylish and feminine, refreshing the look of the housewife. But not everything is so simple with this model: to wear it, you will have to make sacrifices and allow yourself to carry only the essentials with you - lipstick, handbag and smartphone, in order to always stay in touch. Well, the rest is a real flight of fancy: designers present reticules made in the most different colors and made from the most interesting materials, suitable for absolutely any lifestyle.
Alberta Ferretti's boudoir collection includes, for example, metal chain handbags in soft velvet with floral embroidery, while Giorgio Armani plays with different textures and presents elegant and colorful handbags with loop handles. A separate topic is fur reticules, which are intended for evening outings (but not only). You can see these at Sonia Rykiel and Loewe (however, at the latter it looks more like an overgrown fur reticule). And fur itself is another bag trend, we’ll talk about it a little lower.
Daring ladies might also consider suede reticules adorned with metallic polka dots, as well as leather versions with a marijuana leaf print, both from the Alexander Wang range. Lanvin reticules - for lovers of true glamor. DSquared2 are decorated with playful tassels, and handbags from Nina Ricci are made in bright colors and outwardly resemble a huge flower.
Stylized chests
Just as a geometric print adds seriousness and audacity to the entire look, chest bags add a bit of practical luxury to the look. In such bags you can not only put a couple of books, but also fit all the necessary little things, especially if we're talking about about two-level models from the Dolce & Gabbana ready-to-wear collection and about leather options Balenciaga, complete with front pocket.
Today, chest bags are a real must-have for a modern city dweller. They look strict and businesslike, but if you choose a smaller chest, a romantic and flirty accent will immediately appear in your image.
Dolce & Gabbana presented charming chests in several versions: made of reptile skin and decorated with a metal clasp, made of soft velvet with a floral pattern, with crystal details and pop art prints. And Louis Vuitton leopard print chests once again indicate that in the coming season we will all be literally obsessed with animal prints.
And one bag is not enough
Carrying two bags at once is perhaps one of the most extraordinary ways to stand out from the crowd. Watching the speed with which this trend is gaining momentum, we are increasingly trying to understand what designers were thinking about when launching a new trend. About convenience or about giving the image a deliberate stylistic “carelessness”? Perhaps it’s both.
In the coming season, Loewe invites us to carry one bag on our shoulder and another in our hand (one wonders if one day we will also have to take the bag in our teeth?). Christian Dior offered a more convincing duo of bag + wallet - you can play with colors and keep money separate from your cosmetic bag.
Bottega Veneta showed us conjoined twins– two identical bags are glued together on the back sides, and DSquared2 released a bag in which one model is simply slightly smaller in size than the other. But if you think it’s boring, take the same reticule as a second bag.
Fur time
Producing fur bags for the cold seasons has already become a unique tradition of all famous fashion houses. Fluffy, soft, warming your hands during cold weather, these bags will become your very “pet”, sharing their warmth with you on the street.
In the autumn-winter season there are models made either entirely of fur or decorated with fur inserts. Michael Kors bags feature a fur floral pattern, Alexander Wang introduced gray and tan fur handbags with leather top handles, and Fendi painted its over-sized fur bags sky blue.
The list of brands that have declared their love for fur bags continues with Victoria Beckham, Christopher Kane, Loewe, Marchesa, Sonia Rykiel, Salvatore Ferragamo and many others. Special attention It is worth paying attention to Versace, which decorated leather bags with cute hanging fur details, as well as Calvin Klein Collection, which presented bags decorated with fur stripes.
Tigers and reptiles
In the coming season new life will also receive animalistic motifs. “Animal print” is rapidly taking over all fashion shows, and accessories, of course, are no exception. Bright colors of tiger or leopard, noble crocodile or python skin - in the autumn-winter season, the bag should be the first indicator of your luxurious lifestyle.
The stars of Bottega Veneta's fall show were reptile leather bags in turquoise and yellow. Givenchy came out with small cross-body bags in black and brown crocodile leather. The chests already known to us also took on an animal appearance: at Dolce & Gabbana they are covered with reptile skin, and at Louis Vuitton they acquired a leopard color.
Kenzo showed neon yellow and pink purses and tiger stripe briefcases, while Dries Van Noten took things a step further by combining leopard and snake prints. A more formal version was presented by Gucci: here a crocodile leather bag is painted sky blue and decorated with metal chains.
I carry everything I have on my belt
Let us remember the grandmothers-saleswomen on the beach in Tuapse, who kept money in scary bags on their belts. Did you shudder? Now let's look at the new trend that designers launched for the coming season. Essentially everything is the same: a small bag on the belt, designed just for storing all sorts of small items. However, something has changed. Taking comfort and lightness from the fashion of saleswomen, the designers added a little couture - and voila: the result was a real It-bag.
3.1 Phillip Lim combines such bags with rugged military-style clothing, and at Celine, the belt bag has taken the form of a fashionable reticule, making up the perfect ensemble with feminine, flowing silhouettes. Elie Saab showcases black knitted versions of the accessory, while Off/White showcases gold-plated versions that shimmer in the dark. Chanel especially stands out, offering to wear not just a bag on a belt, but literally wrap a cross-body bag around a belt.
Backpacks
Carry a backpack on your back? Here's another! This season, designers encourage you to carry your favorite backpacks in your hands, completely ignoring long straps. We listen to fashion legislators carefully and enjoy watching the development of a new trend.
Lanvin showcases green and silver Persian-style backpacks, Versace studded its models with glossy black sequins, and Louis Vuitton focuses on leopard print. But all these models pale in comparison to the fur and big-eyed backpacks from Anya Hindmarch.
Exquisite minaudières
Mini-clutches, or minaudières, came into fashion in the 1930s, and since then these beauties have not left the world's catwalks. Made from metal patent leather, velvet, decorated with precious stones, pearls or feathers, this accessory never goes out of style and should be at the ready for every self-respecting fashionista.
In the coming season, designers are offering the widest selection of different minaudières for any occasion. A delicate outfit will be successfully emphasized by a minaudiere with flowers encrusted with crystals from Dolce & Gabbana.
A Giorgio Armani mini clutch, the surface of which is strewn with small stones, will add a little drama to your look. Minaudiere also appears in the collections of such fashion houses as Marchesa, Bottega Veneta, Oscar de la Renta and Miu Miu.
Clutches and envelope bags
Gone are the conservative times when clutches could only be worn with an evening dress and elegant shoes. Today, this accessory has become versatile enough to fit perfectly into a daily look.
The coming season is preparing for us a lot of clutches for every occasion and for special occasions: starting with oblong leather models Balenciaga and ending with Chanel tweed options.
Baguette bag
First introduced into fashion by the House of Fendi in 1997, the baguette bag is once again winning our hearts in the autumn-winter season. Designers suggest wearing it either hanging it on your shoulder or holding it in your hand.
During fashion week, we've spotted some amazing reptile skin bags from Burberry, suede ones from Christian Dior and, of course, a few ruffled options from Fendi.
Metallic bags
The futuristic metallic color we loved since childhood is rapidly returning to the catwalks, in which, in addition to various items of clothing, bags have also been painted.
Silver bags of various styles and sizes blew up the shows of Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Lanvin, but golden versions were seen at the fashion shows of Proenza Schouler, Gucci, Loewe and Off-White.
The metallic was revived and ennobled by Marc Jacobs, who presented a bag in a lavender shade, as well as Louis Vuitton, who added fashionable color a little rainbow effect.
Crescent and Hobo Bags
Both models have a refined crescent shape, but they are usually made from different materials. These bags are not only nice to look at, they are also quite roomy and very comfortable. Moreover, in the coming season, designers are offering such a large number of models that choosing a bag for any occasion will not be difficult.
Black patent and velvet brown hobos from 3.1 Phillip Lim, a white wicker model from Altuzarra, black and green leather crescent bags from Boss, bulky totes from Celine and Louis Vuitton, and a soft-clip model from Loewe, just a small part of everything that was seen at the latest shows.
At Lemaire, the crescent has almost grown to the full moon, Celine shows a hobo in the shape of a soft square, and Boss offers several models of crescents in the color-blocking style.
Forgot to close
Of course, most likely, many designers sent their models onto the catwalk with open bags not in order to instill in us a new way of wearing them, but in order to demonstrate the inner design of their creations.
However, whatever their motives, we still regard the open bag as a trend and proudly show off the entire contents of our bags to passersby. But in pursuit of fashion, do not lose your vigilance: perhaps you should first take out your wallet yourself before others do it for you.
However, Dior does not agree with our opinion and, on the contrary, calls for wearing open bags on the shoulder, exposing the inner pocket, which seems to be intended for the most valuable things. Loewe approached the issue of content security a little more responsibly, creating the effect of an open bag with the help of a detachable bottom. The most interesting visual effect Anya Hindmarch managed to get away from an open bag by opening the top zipper of her messenger bags, causing some of the bags to literally make sponges at those around them.
Fringe and tassels
The main detail of the western style - tassels - is again appearing on the catwalks this season. The Altuzarra bag, for example, has tassels on the strap, while Elie Saab places them in a strict pattern across the entire surface of the bag.
Fluffy fringe appears on the uppers of DSquared2 models, suede tassels adorn the Ralph Lauren bags, and Roberto Cavalli decorates art-nouveau style handbags with leather fringe.
Bucket bag
In the coming season, after several years of oblivion, bucket bags are back in fashion, bringing a little romance and ease to our image. This model appears most often on the 3.1 Phillip Lim.
Marni showcases brown leather bucket bags with round handles. I’m Isola Marras makes its bucket bags bright, using the color block technique (various parts of the bag are made from materials different colors).
Fancy straps and handles
Recent fashion shows have quite often shown models whose straps or handles are much more interesting than the bags themselves. For example, Fendi presented miniature brown handbags, the long strap of which was decorated with an unusual neon pattern. However, most of the bags in the Fendi autumn-winter collection have straps that are worth special admiration.
A scarf with an ethnic print was tied to the handles and straps of Louis Vuitton bags, while Celine, instead of scarves, decorated the handles of its models with colored ribbons that did not match the bags.
Alexander McQueen and Calvin Klein Collection lined their handbag straps with fur, and Vionnet went even further, demonstrating bags with handles shaped like a giant safety pin.
Saddle bag
The return of western style to the catwalks marks another equally triumphant return of saddle bags. The model appears in the classic version from brown skin, as well as in other more interesting options.
Altuzarra shows models made of leather and suede, with or without tassels, on a strap or on a chain - just choose. Saddle bags are also present in autumn collection Celine - the brand suggests wearing them not on the shoulder, but wrapping a long strap around the wrist. But Miu Miu decorated its famous saddle bags with tapestry and metal and bead details.
Prints and embroidery
One of the most promising trends of the autumn-winter season will certainly be bags with multi-colored prints and bright embroidery. Dolce & Gabbana sets the tone: fabulous designs, decorated with floral embroidery, precious stones and embellishments. Gucci is not inferior to the Fashion House.
Moreover, designers do not limit themselves to floral and abstract embroidery. Everything is used: precious stones, zigzag prints and even psychedelic designs. Christopher Kane randomly places multi-colored knitted flowers on his products, Dries Van Noten clutches are completely decorated with soft feathers, Fendi plays with optical illusions and creates a kaleidoscope effect on its bags, and Salvatore Ferragamo uses a killer combination of rainbow stripes and zigzags.
The list of designers who have picked up the trend is impressive. It includes such masters as Giorgio Armani, Miu Miu, Prada, Proenza Schoulder, Dries Van Noten, Chanel, Christian Dior and many others.
Vintage handbags with retro kiss clasp
In the coming season, designers invite us to be inspired by the beautiful era of the early 20th century and remember small feminine handbags fastened with a frame lock with the flirtatious name “kiss”.
By the way, it is not at all necessary to completely copy the favorite accessories of our great-great-grandmothers. Designers have developed many different models for us. Delicate handbags from soft skin found at Dolce & Gabbana, Christian Dior, Marc Jacobs, Coach, Marni and Tommy Hilfiger.
But if you still want to modernize your accessory as much as possible, then Bottega Veneta offers an option made of blue crocodile leather, Alexander McQueen made handbags from fur, and Mansur Gavriel painted his creations in bright red and yellow colors.
Trapezoidal bags
The trend towards geometry in everything naturally gave rise to another trend – trapezoidal bags. Thus, Monsieur Lagerfeld created magnificent models for Fendi, the sharp trapezoidal shape of which is softened by romantic flounces or intricate appliqués.
Trapezoidal bags with top handles were also presented by Gucci, Giorgio Armani, who decorated the bag with a floral print, as well as Boss, who made sure that the new bag was mega-spacious.
Everything is in color
Unlike many designers who are convinced that your bright bag should be visible from a distance of ten kilometers, their other colleagues, on the contrary, strive to ensure that the bag matches the color scheme of your entire image as accurately as possible. And we are not talking about the boring old-fashioned rule “bag, shoes and hat - in the same color,” no!
In the coming season, designers invite us to completely dress in one color and use one print in all items of our look. The trend is confidently launched by Chanel: here the color and print of many suits is exactly repeated on all accessories, including, of course, bags.
Barbara Bui presents a “red plaid jumpsuit + matching cross-body bag” set, Elie Saab demonstrates a “dress + scarf + polka dot clutch” ensemble, and Miu Miu presented an image in which all clothing items and accessories are decorated with a delicate floral print . The list of setter trends continues with Dolce & Gabbana, Anna Sui, Calvin Klein Collection and Emilio Pucci.
Goodbye: travel bags
If you were asked to describe in one word the mood of everything to come fashion season, what would you answer? Marie Claire confidently answers: adventure.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the latest fashion shows are replete with travel bags: from leather large models Trussardi to Louis Vuitton suitcases.
Tell me what bag you have and I'll tell you who you are! Indeed, bags and handbags, crossbodies and backpacks, briefcases and clutches - all this perfectly characterizes the woman who wears them. Let's take a look at the autumn-winter season of this year and see what will be trending? What shape and size will be most relevant? What will be the most fashionable women's bags fall-winter 2016-2017?

One of the most convenient and functional accessories of the autumn-winter season 2016-2017 can confidently be called backpacks. They are not only roomy, but also fit comfortably behind your back and have a stylish, unusual look.
At Michael Kors, the backpack has acquired a winter look (fur, like no other material, fits best into the autumn-winter look). Louis Vuitton and Anya Hindmarch delighted their fans fashionable backpacks with variegated coloring to match the skin of predators and bright appliqué. Versace chose black genuine leather, metallic trim and sequin decoration.

In 2017, designers paid particular attention to the shape of current bags - you will hardly see shapeless models at the shows of the new season. The good news is that the trend for huge “sacks” has remained at the peak of fashion decisions. Fashion designers are well aware that the life of a modern girl is a constant dynamic and changing environment, so in most cases she can’t get by with a mini-clutch.
However, representatives of all fashion houses decided that it was time to move away from unexpressed forms, giving soft volume bags a little more solidity.
