Classic baguette bags that exuded luxury and style in the ’90s are back. The eras makeup, outfits and bag trends were a rage and have been an inspiration for Gen Z fashionistas in 2021.

Last year, we saw the totes, the minis, the clutches and the saddles handbags topping millennial trends but nothing can beat the classic and sophisticated baguette bags.

“Keep your closet chic, minimal and timeless.” – Donna Zhong

This quote by Donna Zhong, who is the founder and chief designer of the New York-based Donna Zhong Official, is a cue to how certain fashion trends are always a must-have in your closet like the ‘90s baguette shoulder bag. Always keep space for vintage and classic fashion to make a comeback.

Did you know? In 1997, the first baguette bag was released by Fendi and was popularised by Sex and the City, the popular TV series.

With the classic shoulder bag’s major comeback, millennial fashionistas are flaunting their tuck-and-go arm candies. And we are absolutely loving it as well.

But why are Baguette bags a trend in 2021? 

Well,  this year was all about the pandemic and extra care when it came to taking care of our health. Mask, sanitizers, wallet, keys and little makeup pouches were the essentials we swore by. What better than a shoulder bag. Everything including style fits in right.

With celebrities, supermodels and fashionistas flaunting it with their crop tops, jeans, LBDs, and off-shoulder dresses proves that the shoulder bags can never go out of style and are a perfect touch of sophistication to any trendy outfit you wear.

Don’t be surprised if you spot your favorite style diva flaunting an unusually small bag that resembles croissants and half-moons, these are now the latest fad that is here to stay for a long time now.

The grab and go style

As we are very much aware that the current fashion trends are all about to grab and go – be it, Hailey Bieber, Winney Harlow, Kendall or Rihanna. These celebs have demonstrated with their good old shoulder bags and how!

Fendi, Prada, Saint Laurent, Burberry, Balenciaga, Gucci are few luxury brands know for their baguette-style bags. Whether you’re a minimalist or a maximalist, there’s a shoulder bag for everyone.  As Carrie Bradshaw would say, “It is not a bag, it is a baguette.”
