The Most Expensive-Looking Bags Right Now All Share This One Detail

It bag this, It bag that. There are so many It bags right now, and keeping track of them all is overwhelming. It feels like every other day Miuccia Prada comes up with something we all decide we can't imagine life without. Alaïa made the Le Teckel bag, and then Eckhaus Latta released its first bag, the Snap. Rachel Sennott stepped out at the Sundance Film Festival with a vintage Chloé Paddington Bag that had people moving away from the secondhand Balenciaga City Bag craze. There's always something, and we want it all.

Actually, if you look closely, you'll notice something. Almost all of the big bags of the moment share this one fanciful detail. They all have long, distinct straps that you can toss over your shoulder. For the first time in what feels like forever, all of the hottest bags are actually deeply practical. They're meant to be worn over and over again. As with most trends, you can trace it back to Miu Miu, where models carried bags filled to the brim with a change of clothing and random trinkets in its S/S 24 show. They were overflowing with proof of life, an acknowledgement from Prada that we all have busy lives and shouldn't be ashamed of it. Our bags should reflect that, not conceal it.

It's hot to have a bag that feels so real, bursting at the seams with energy. You can easily get one you'll have forever from Chanel, Miu Miu, Khaite, The Row, Sandy Liang… The list goes on and on. It's the kind of bag you'll always gravitate toward because you know it'll get the job done.

If it's the look that you're after, there are so many alternatives from brands like Mango, COS, and J.Crew that share the same handle detail that gives these designer bags that "rich It girl" look. Shop the very best of the look below.
