Welcome back Readers,
During the 2024 Spring/Summer fashion runway, large purses were a recurring item in many variations, from wicker baskets to leather handbag goods. The inclusion of these diverse styles of large purses indicates a notable shift in fashion trends, suggesting a move towards embracing functionality and versatility without compromising on style.
This made me wonder whether large purses will be a trend throughout 2024. Last year, we saw an influx of extra-large bags on the streets. As fashion often operates in cycles, it’s possible that the trend of large purses will continue to gain momentum in the coming year. Fashion enthusiasts and trend-watchers will be keen to see how designers and influencers incorporate these statement accessories into their looks, and whether this trend will translate from the runways to everyday street style.

The Yves Saint Laurent quilted lamb skin shopping bag, which was extremely popular in 2023, became an iconic fashion staple for individuals with diverse lifestyles. Not only was it a coveted accessory for fashionistas, but it also served practical purposes for mothers as a stylish diaper bag.
This versatile piece seamlessly transitioned from a fashion statement on the streets to a functional “everything” bag, embodying the essence of modern luxury and versatility.
Margot Robbie’s Trendsetting Style
Margot Robbie recently made headlines as the first celebrity to be spotted by paparazzi rocking an extra large purse. This daring fashion statement has set tongues wagging in the fashion world, sparking a debate on whether large purses will become the latest trend or simply remain confined to the runways. It will be fascinating to see if other celebrities follow suit and whether this trend will gain momentum beyond the runway.
