Chains

Many designers this year have treated handbags as an extension of the jewellery category, showing gold and silver handles that resemble necklaces.

Raffia Magic

The concept of basket bags for spring is not groundbreaking, but woven accessories were more prevalent than ever in the spring/summer 2024 collections.

Go Rouge

Red has emerged as the shade of 2023, and it’s going nowhere this year, as dozens of noteworthy handbags were realised in fiery chilli and tomato shades.
