English text by Selina Lum
Although we have been tasked with investing our energy indoors, the fashion community has not skirted a beat. Be it Zoom photograph shoots, self-shot campaigns, or imaginative new dress patterns and trends, it feels as though the entire knit-and-leather world is currently more inventive than any other time. One specific silver of this creativity that has grabbed my eye is the variety of handbags. I don’t have the foggiest idea what it is, yet up until now, these new social restrictions have invited nothing but a colorful and bright new life to the closets of bags all over the place.
On the lookout for another designer bag? Settle in, on the grounds that we tapped the greatest designers for the most up-to-date totes, top handles, and cross bodies. All things considered, brands like Bottega Veneta are breathing new life into signature textiles, Thom Browne made public a zoo of animal leather bags, and Celine, Ralph Lauren, and Dior are altogether giving us work-to-go tote bags that itself gives us the urge to go back to normal office days.
Find a motivation to invest in a new bag, ahead.
Prada – Plaid Velvet Handbag
Looking for an update to Prada’s classic Tessuto nylon, we found a style we can’t quit pondering. A colorful plaid motif animates this rectangular velvet handbag. This new bag holds the iconic ’90s feel, but with a comic-graphic touch. Leather handles and metal hardware complete the accessory embellished with the emblematic Prada triangle logo on the front.

Ralph Lauren Collection – Burnished Medium RL50 Handbag
Reminisce this bag as the “reason to go back to the office.” Made of aged leather, this work-ready tote drew inspiration from Mr. Lauren’s personal travel bags. Drawing inspiration from one of Mr. Lauren’s personal travel bags, The RL50 Handbag is defined by its belted silhouette and elegantly curved bar topline.
