Every season sees the birth of the new ‘it’ bag seen on actresses and flash-your-cash socialites splashed across editorials. While nothing comes close to the Fendi baguette — which was world’s first ‘it’ bag — over the years, brands have brought out new pieces presented with an of-the-moment flourish. This party season belongs to Chloe’s mini textured shoulder bag and Saint Laurent’s sunset velvet piece. Of course, there’s no denying the rock ‘n’ roll appeal of Valentino’s Rockstud, which has been the go-to accessories brand for a couple of seasons now. Among the newest offerings, this season is Gucci’s Rajah shoulder bag that features a tiger head decorated with crystals. The Dior Mini Saddlebag in canvas embroidered with stripes and Chanel’s small round bag in lambskin which comes in red and white, clamour for attention. We got experts to pick their ‘it’ bags of the moment.

CHLOE SPELLS VERSATILITY

Finding a piece that complements Indian and Western wear is no longer a challenge as Chloe’s shoulder bag does that beautifully. Designer Nadine Dhody swears by the Chloe Nile bracelet mini textured shoulder bag. “I love its versatility as it can go with Indian outfits as well,” she says. 

NEON BEAUTY

Ever since designer Virgil Abloh took over Louis Vuitton’s menswear artistic direction, his pieces have spoken to both men and women and in fact, a lot of women lust after his street-inspired accessories. Designer Arpita Mehta says, “I’d love to lay my hands on the neon and transparent Louis Vuitton neon transparent bag.”

Neon hues and transparency are having a moment right now and Virgil’s take on the heritage French house combines the two alchemically. Designer Surily Goel says, “Virgil’s neon iridescent bag from Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 19 line-up is the talking point this season and I look forward to seeing its abbreviated version in womenswear. I also like the Valentino rockstud belt bag, which has a rockstar feel.”

THE MICRO MINI POUCH 

The teeny-tiny bag by Jacquemus has been on Insta radar seen on the likes of Kendall Jenner. It might not be utilitarian but looks chic nonetheless. Stylist Divyak D’Souza says, “I’m feeling the micro mini bags, which are ridiculously small, but make a statement.”
