All The Most Coveted Handbags of Spring/Summer 2024
This season's accessories are anything but boring so, we've rounded up the most coveted new releases from the fashion houses for every occasion.
The Spring/Summer 2024 collections welcomed a tidal wave of novelty, with models flaunting woven baskets and leather bags brimming with objects and charms. Balenciaga and Bottega Veneta adorned their black leather bags with pendants and keys, while Miu Miu bags hinted at a change of shoes. These accessories weren't just a mere complement to an outfit; they were crafted for intensive use, embodying a departure from the quiet luxury aesthetic that had previously dominated the bag category.
In recent seasons, clean lines, soft leather, and the absence of logos defined bag designs. However, for Spring/Summer 2024, there was an added touch of personality. Prada introduced leather or silk bags with eccentric hand-carved clasps resembling horrified faces, while Gucci's debut of De Sarno revamped the classic Jackie bag with a mesh of sparkling crystals.
Proportions underwent yet another revision, with maxi bags from Victoria Beckham, The Row, and Loewe juxtaposed against mini bags, which, though not practical, remained in vogue for several seasons from Chanel to Fendi. Artisan brands like Authentica 504 and Federico Cina's debut with the "tortellino bag" (shaped like a tortellino) also earned special mention, adding to the diversity of offerings.
The Spring/Summer 2024 season showcased a selection of women's bags tailored for various occasions, from the office to aperitifs, with each new model exuding its own unique charm and functionality.
