3 Handbags to Carry in 2020

Handbags are a must-have accessory that can be used during different seasons and occasions throughout the year. From handmade bags to manufactured ones, the market is packed with different styles and brands. Each year and season, there are different handbag trends and 2020 has brought some incredible new trends that you should look out for. 

Here are three of the top handbag trends in 2020:

1. Micro bags

Before the pandemic, we saw many celebrities walking red carpets with micro bags. Celebrities like Lizzo have made headlines for carrying the bags. The fashion industry has taken well to the new trend as so far. On the other hand, the general public has also received the trend well. Micro bags may not be good for storing items, but they are certainly stylish and chic. They can be paired with basically anything, especially formal wear like gowns or pantsuits. The secret of rocking the trend is to make sure the bag is high quality, well made, and unique looking- like these handmade bags from Mirta, a company that specializes in Italian crafted leather goods. Carrying a micro bag is a fashion statement, so it’s important to choose wisely! 

2. Sling Bags

Sling bags have been in fashion for a very long time. It is safe to refer to them as the trend that never runs out of fashion. However, in 2020, the bags have become more popular than ever. Sling bags can be paired with different outfits, including dresses, pants, and even suits. Coming in different styles and sizes, they are elegant yet simple and practical. Extra-large sling bags are very popular this year. They are dramatic and functional and an incredible way to make a statement. They can be carried as a fashion statement or during trips where you want to combine fashion and function.

3. Super-size totes

Speaking of XL bags… A tote bag is a large bag that usually features parallel handles on the sides of the bag’s pouch. These bags are usually made from materials like thick leather. While totes are often large, this year, super-size totes have become a popular trend. The bags have been seen on runways, and fast hit the streets with celebrities rocking them left and right. They can be paired with street outfits as well as other styles depending on the occasion. Super-size tote bags can also be used as reusable shopping bags like standard tote bags. They are popular in the market because they are unique and a step away from the regular. 

While some trends on this list may sound to risqué for you to try, they are an incredible way to step out of your shell and try something new. Let us know what you think of the trends and which one you would like to try!
