Contemporary Bag Trends

Colour blocks, defined silhouettes and textured surfaces each bring a different rhythm to an outfit. A useful starting point is the visual role of the bag: a quiet extension of the clothes, a point of contrast, or the main detail.

A colour block design can connect shades already present in your wardrobe. Pick one panel colour to echo in a scarf, top or shoes, then let the remaining panels add contrast.

Texture offers another way to add interest. Woven surfaces, smooth finishes and soft folds catch the eye differently. Look at them alongside your clothes, and consider how the bag’s size and outline change the balance.
