Elegant, practical, and ultra-trendy, the round bag has become, for a few months, the essential fashion accessory of this autumn-winter season… but also of the next spring-summer season. It's very simple, whether in the windows of our favorite boutiques, in the hands of the fashionistas of the moment, or on the pages of our favorite magazines, the round bag is absolutely everywhere, for our greatest happiness. And, luckily, there is something for all styles and tastes, which allows us to varie the pleasures to infinity , or almost. Zoom on the essential little accessory of the season.
Halfway between a messenger bag and a clutch , the round bag , whether mini or maxi, has been emulated in women's fashion in recent months. It must be said that its characteristic shape, both modern, practical , and elegant, makes it the ideal accessory to complement all your outfits, from the most refined to the most casual. Celebrities and other fashion influencers quickly seized on the trend nascent, converting the round bag into a real must-have for our fashionista wardrobes.
And yet, the round bag was not intended to democratize so quickly. Launched as a luxury accessory by the Courrèges brand , in the 1960s, the round bag was then brought up to date by the firm Chloé in 2017, in the form of the famous Pixie bag. As soon as it was released, the craze for this small round bag , chic and practical, is such that most luxury brands, but also consumer leather goods, play the game to make the accessory accessible to as many people as possible.
If the round bag – and its variant the half-moon bag – are doing well, it is because they combine a certain number of arguments that do not leave you insensitive. Small, compact, trendy, cute and irresistible, here are some good reasons to let yourself be tempted by the round bag.
With its compact design and its (relative) small size, the round bag is quite simply the ideal companion. Generally worn over the shoulder, it is very easy to put on and take off, unlike handbags to keep on the shoulder or backpacks of recent years. In addition, it allows you to carry only the bare necessities, and therefore very quickly access your essentials, keys, wallet, laptop, and identity papers; with, possibly, a lipstick for make-up touch-ups. Unlike a tote bag, you keep the essentials close at hand thanks to your small round bag.
Whatever your style, its round shape is enough to bring a touch of elegance , originality, even eccentricity – depending on the model – to your outfit. Small, circular, colorful, but still ultra-trendy, the round bag conveys an undeniably retro side, which gives a chic and vintage charm to all your looks.
It's not just the big luxury brands that are surfing the wave of the round bag. Today, traditional ready-to-wear brands and online leather goods stores have also set their sights on the little accessory that everyone is snapping up. So, rest assured, you will be spoiled for choice, with fancy models accessible to all wallets.
Its versatility , this is perhaps the greatest asset of the round bag. Rattan or leather, supple or rigid, over the shoulder or in the hand, the circular bag adapts to all styles and all outfits, to give you that touch of elegance and originality in all circumstances.
A gala evening? A candlelight dinner? A special occasion (birthday, wedding, baptism, …)? There is necessarily a round bag adapted to your budget and your desires. To complement your gala outfits, evening dress and heeled pumps, set your sights on a round bag in velvet or faux fur, embellished with a metal chain elegant. More modern than the clutches traditionally worn in the evening, these models of round bags – or their half-moon version – will enhance all your party outfits.
With a casual jeans-basketball look , the round bag plays on colors and materials. Choose it in soft canvas and with a shoulder strap, and don't hesitate to wear bright colors if your outfit is rather dark, in order to contrast with the austere side of the look. If you prefer the bohemian dress-sandal style, then the models in straw, rattan, or leather, if they remain in the same tones as the sandals, will be able to perfectly complete your outfit.
Round canvas bag is also the perfect ally for your trips to the beach , with family or friends, but also for your festival outings. As canvas is a particularly resistant material, you can carry it everywhere, without risk of damaging it, in addition to adding an irresistible vintage touch to your outfit.
To accompany you in your work meetings or your days at the office , set your sights on a rigid leather round bag , preferably black. It is the ideal accessory for the trouser-jacket-heeled pumps combo. Sober, but also chic and elegant, you are sure not to go wrong.
