As restrictions are gradually lifted and the pace of life starts picking up again, it is time to give our bags a larger-than-life makeover. While miniature bags took the world by storm, supersized ones take the cake for their functionality and practicality. From totes to clutches, they are perfect for fitting all your essentials for a busy day, taking you through AM to PM.
These enormous structures can really carry it all, so here are our picks for this season’s must-haves:
Add a spring in your step this summer with the reimagined Gucci Diana bag. This supersized version from the maison’s Exquisite Gucci collection is an argyle dream – with a one-of-a-kind pattern mixed with white and tan leather. The classic boxy is great for everyday use, and the refreshing print is sure to make it a statement piece in your collection. Not forgetting the iconic bamboo handles, the reimagined tote bag gets an upgrade with leather belts, so your bag will never go out of style or shape.
The reimagined Ferragamo XL Studio Bag is magnified to outstanding proportions and is the perfect day bag. Designed with minimal and elegant details, the juxtaposition of the raffia and calf leather textures creates the perfect medley of casual and chic, forming a statement-making combination. Its capacious storage makes the ideal running-errands-with-coffee-in-hand bag. The timeless and versatile style is able to transform into a holiday bag as well, you can store all your needs in one bag and travel around worry-free.
If you’re looking for a spacious bag perfect for travel, consider switching out a bulky carry-on for something chicer. Soft yet structured, Chanel’s Deauville tote has been given a youthful reboot. The House-favourite tweed covers the bag, and the pops of colour from the letters spelling out Chanel exude a vibrant energy that seems befitting for any relaxing vacation. The neutral body makes the bag an easy match for any bright outfit and can handily fit any important travel documents.
Move aside mini bags; meet Bottega Veneta’s supersized clutch. Going for date night or drinks with your girlfriends? The shiny and glossy bag is the perfect conversation starter during your night out. The slouchy silhouette adds a touch of playfulness and can be carried in several ways — clutched with your hands, lugged under or around your arms. With its distinct dimensions, this piece is sure to turn heads.
Cosy up in the season with Max Mara’s Teddy Tote bag. Rendered in rich suede and the House’s iconic faux fur, the spacious tote lends itself a directional edge. With its fluffy and muted exterior, this tote is primed to accommodate and elevate your autumn wardrobe. It can be styled against striking, bold colours or a fully tailored monochromatic ensemble for sartorial satisfaction. Its commodious size has plenty of room for your daily belongings and work essentials, a quintessential element for your go-to work bag.
Who says running errands can’t be fab? Take this large Fendi Sunshine shopper for a spin on your busiest days for a stylish hands-free shopping experience. With a tessellated graphic inspired by the work of fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez, the lightweight mega mink carrier is designed for even the most hectic of days. The expressive print ensures you’ll go bold till you go home, and the tortoiseshell-effect handles turn the glamour factor up a notch, so you can romanticise all your days while staying functional.
