Move over low-key, it’s all about the See-Me! Classics like the Gucci Jackie 1961, Saint Laurent Tote, The Row Delanie, Prada Cleo and Jacquemus Chiquito have all traditionally been favoured for their clean lines and ease of use. But in recent months, the clean, minimalist lines have shifted over in favour for the showstopping. Unexpected shapes, colours and fabrications have been picked up and now hang on the fashionable arms..
Loud, proud and lustful we bring together some of the boldest bags…
Ferragamo
Maximilian Davis has brought hype to the heritage brand of Ferragamo - long known for its founder’s innovation in heel shapes - and glamour and sexiness is key to his vision. While he’s chosen a deep red to re-invent the brand, it’s actually ombre that is quickly becoming a signature tint to hist pieces. Modernising a bag from the archives, this brushed calfskin object is a stylish statement from the young creative director, making a confident mark on the heritage fashion house.
LASTFRAME
Featuring a techy knitted construction and a fruity checkerboard two-tone design, this bag is one Knot to miss! Launched in 2018, LASTFRAME is known for its unique accessories that unite quality Japanese craftsmanship with bold design. This bag has a detachable strap, for slinging over your shoulder, or it can be worn into the evening on your arm. Pair with a summer dress and kitten heels for the ultimate sunset hour look.
Molly Goddard 
Blooming with rouge ruffles, this crossbody bag is the maximalist's perfect springtime companion. The designer known for her frothy tulle and hand-smocked taffeta dresses, Molly Goddard delivers with this plentiful accessory. For picnics in the park and late night outings, you won't want to put this bag down!
Anest Collective
Purveyors of chic, Anest Collective presents a bold, endlessly versatile clutch that will bring a burst of zesty colour to every outfit. The key to dopamine dressing, meshing the professional silhouette of the briefcase with a serotonin-infused yellow calfskin, this is the perfect bag to carry you from office to cocktails.
Paco Rabanne
In homage to the late Paco Rabanne, The Pixel Degrade possesses all the elegance, charm and timeless beauty of the classic chainmail tote. Large enough to carry your shoes after a night of dancing, this sunset-coloured bag will glimmer under the disco lights in true 60s spirit. Fair warning, prepared for those around to be dazzled!
Valentino Garavani
A sensible choice for the practical maximalist, the Valentino Garavani Le Troisieme Toile Iconographe Large Shopper will not only carry your hopes, dreams but also your groceries! Sturdy in shape and with a handy crossbody strap, its jacquard monogram motif will refresh any outfit in signature Pierpaolo Piccioli style. Elegant without being too ostentatious, you will never be hard to spot!
