From the expensive lifelong pieces to the up-and-coming cool shoulder bags, here are the trendy bags Dubai influencers have been sporting.
Through our signature incognito filming, we look into the city’s exclusive events to see what the fashion trendsetters are wearing on their arms.
From coveted handbags to retro shoulder bags, we see some timeless classics and some under-the-radar pieces as well.
Consistently chic
If there were a bag that synopsised the Dubai look, perhaps it would be the historic Lady Dior purse. Its hard lined boxy shape contradicted with its regal elegance. This piece has solidified itself as a timeless fashion holy-grail.
Practicality in style
A heritage brand for a reason, the Goyard tote bag is not only fashion-forward but undeniably practical as well. Its malleable shape and generous spaces makes it an everyday staple for many Dubai influencers.
Robust fashion
Though on the smaller end, the Marc Jacobs’ Camera Crossbody bag does not disappoint on the functionality aspect. With its sleek silhouette and premium leather body, this is not one of those trendy bags that disappoint in longevity or wearability. Minimalist in design, yet uncompromising in character, this one is undoubtedly a stylish pick.
A Timeless Twist
The cobalt blue shade still has a hold on the region’s trendsetters, as the striking colour makes an appearance in Chanel format. A crossbody and handbag, this one in particular has a more untraditional trapezoid shape. Complete with gold hardware and the icon “CC” lock, it balances an air of uniqueness with a louder chicness.
Always Bold
Unafraid of pattern and personality, a vibrant red Tory Burch piece also makes it to the list. With lively blue details, this monogram handbag is featured in its playful mini version. Vibrant yet elevated, its perky nature is muted with its sturdy boxy shape.
Sleek yet soft
Subtle and elevated, the Aigner Lorena Shoulder bag comes in a deep maroon leather that’s intriguing and sleek. With a curved based and muted gold details, it’s a simple shoulder bag that still adds some complexity to an outfit.
An Understated cool
Some trendy bags rise and fall fairly quickly in terms of mainstream approval, but Bottega Veneta purses remain ever loved. In their signature Intrecciato-weave pattern, this leather hobo bag is one of those pieces. Its light weight leather and suede material makes it the perfect everyday bag, that adds some texture and cool to your overall look.
Edgy Elegance
Small yet chunky, while Chanel is known for its unyielding elegance, this one has a layer of laid-back edge to it. The Dubai influencer seemed to stick to gold hardware as this handbag comes with an enlarged gold link chain.
Elevated quirk
Also featured on the arms of Dubai’s fashion girlies is this stylish multi-coloured Fendi handbag. With some blues, oranges, and greens, this iconic purse doubles and a cross body. Though it holds some vibrance, its small shape and milk white leather base brings an understated feel to it.
A Lifetime piece
Completing a list of signature Dubai bags without including a Hermès piece would feel like a gross oversight. In a sophisticated almond green colour, a 20cm Kelly dangles on a fashion creator’s shoulder. Customising her piece with a subtle silk scarf wrapped, this inarguably elegant purse has some distinct charter wrapped within it.
Modern cool
With a retro feel and a glossy finish, the Prada Cleo bag has consistently demanded our attention since its release. An it-girl purse of sorts, we see it in a soft white hue this time. Unorthodox in shape, this shoulder bag toes the line of refined grace and contemporary style in every way.
