Make sure you’re seen carrying one of these seven trendy bag shapes this season.
UNUSUAL SHAPES
Isn’t now as good a time as any to completely forget about what a bag should look like, and embrace the unexpected? Don’t be shy of styles that stray far from the traditional – you’ll see some unconventional beauties emerging this year. Black Bag R599, Mango
STRUCTURED SHOULDER
Getting a Spice Girls vibe? Indeed – the iconic ‘90s shape is back! Holding your bag under your arm or resting it in the crease of your elbow instantly creates a sleek look. Lilac Bag R599, Mango
OVERSIZED
The must-have for 2021, big is better. Can we all just rejoice for a second about a bag that can easily carry everything … and the kitchen sink? Chloe Bag R2 299, Sitting Pretty
MINI
Mini bags have been spotted all over the runways and top designer’s look books. They’ll force you to take only the essentials – just make sure you can squeeze in your phone and bank cards. Bag R2 900, Chimpel
FEATHERS
Feathers were huge on special-occasion dresses last year – and we’re so happy to say, they’re huge on 2021’s bags.
