Totes versus backpacks

Before the spring/summer collections arrive in stores, we take a look at key trends from pre-fall 2015 shows. Today’s time for bags – totes, hand held, shoppers and backpacks. See what’s going to be in style.

1. Structured

This is a season for structured bags of all shapes and sizes. They look very classy and are perfect to finish up the silhouette.

2. Hand held

Rather for evening and a night out, as it’s small, but who will stop you? Most of the brands offer clutches and minaudieres in SS collections. You can’t miss the beautiful leather envelope from CONCEPT line.

3. Totes

They’re generally marketed as shopping bags, because they’re roomy and can carry anything too big for common handbags. A real must have.

4. Prints & Patterns

This spring and summer bags stay in colours and prints, and patterns.

6. Backpacks

Our favourite trend. The most comfortable and the most stylish for spring/summer. It’s ideal for sportswear, but thanks to designers, you can find more elegant versions too.
