Let’s face it, picking a bag is tricky! It has to be the right size, shape and colour and match your current clothes, the upcoming season trends not to mention your shoes! But don’t worry because we have got it all figured out! Luckily for us, Vogue has released an article with the Summer Trends 2017 with all the top rages! Although the inspiration from the big catwalks is a great way to follow the latest fashion trends, our main focus is to offer uniqueness. The good news is that all sizes are in style. The runway featured small bags by Hermes, Chanel and Valentino, big bags by Balenciaga and Dior and of course Celine’s designs were placed somewhere in the middle. Qrator features a variety of products that aside from fitting the catwalk parameters, are affordable and were created from the best materials including leather, bespoke calfskin, up cycled polyester sailcloth and other. We have compiled a list of stylish and affordable handbags by our independent high-end designers, that was put together to make your life a lot easier!

Small Bags

The runway exposed Valentino’s lovely creation and we were charmed! Small bags are very functional as they allow you to take only your essentials. For instance, this rectangular Sissey Bag Black by Isalda is made of leather and is much versatile. It goes with any look including floral and geometric prints as well as leggings, which are trendy this season! 

Another suggestion is the 3-in-1 Mayfair Bag by Esin Akan. It is made of 100% bespoke calfskin with an innovative leather overlay. Can be worn with a variety of outfits including yellow and candy pink pieces and with the trendy round-shoulder design! May be positioned over the front or back of the bag.

Medium Bags

Celine showcased a classy rectangular medium-sized coffee coloured bag at the runway! Medium bags are definitely a must have since you have to wear them every day. For instance, this Bucket Bag Tan by Minima is ideal for running daily errands. Made of Italian vegetable tanned leather, it has an adjustable shoulder strap and is easy to carry. To spice up your look, go for the seasonal staple: the jumpsuit or even with a men’s shirt that is the ultimate twist this season!

Another option is the Marfa Saddle Bag by Noah Marion Quality Goods. Aside from being candy pink which is the colour of the season, it’s an everyday carry on that can fit essentials, a small laptop and is big enough to take on a weekend getaway. May be matched with in style candy pink, deep cherry and raspberry clothing with lace, bows or ribbons for a more romantic look.

Big Bags

Take a look at the Kinira Classic Bag by Salty Bag that is ideal for daily use and has adjustable handles. Made of upcycled polyester sailcloth and vegetable tanned leather, it may be worn with yellowish outfits including summer dresses and the in style jumpsuits, leggings and floral pattern. Also available in grey and navy colours!

If you are looking for an even bigger bag, go for the Canvas Weekender by Stanfield. The spacious carry on may be used daily, for a small trip or even to go to the gym. It is individually handmade and water resistant. Match with geometric prints, jumpsuits and leggings.

We hoped you have enjoyed our suggestions and are eager to implement them. Until next time!
