As 2021 comes to an end, we’re seeing that the latest handbag brands are changing the game. Up-and-coming designers are bringing their diverse backgrounds and highlighting the importance of materials, craftsmanship, and accessibility. On-trend handbags are great, BUT nothing compares to a bag with quality and unique artistry all in one.
Emerging brands are switching their focus to thinking outside the box and creating the most playful and stylish bags, which come in an array of unique shapes, sizes, and hues. For those who follow the fashion cycle, a certain thrill comes from wearing something that no one else has, and it only takes one piece to make any outfit feel ahead of the curve: a new handbag from an emerging designer.
While you can’t deny the power of a good old Chanel boy bag or Louis Vuitton tote, there’s a certain excitement that comes from the new generation’s designs. Whether it being a semi-circle silhouette, croissant-styled handle, oversized tote or teeny-tiny bag, you’ll find that carrying a bag from one of these fashionable new labels is key to making a statement. And by the looks of it, our favourite celebs can’t seem to get enough of them as well.
A few months back, Queen B made another one of her signature Instagram debuts, sharing a series of images on her IG wearing a head to toe neon fit. Beyonce accessorised her look with an envelope bag from Medea, crafted from matte calfskin leather in Verona, Italy. On the other hand, actress and TV host Adrienne Bailon launched her very own handbag label with a wide selection of the dreamiest vegan leather handbags that we seriously can’t get enough of.
Ahead, find a round-up of six emerging designers to keep on your radar.
