The Bag Edit: 4 Styles Worth Carrying This Season
From slouchy shapes to structured designs, these are the bags worth keeping on your radar.
Created with The SM Store
A bag does more than carry your essentials; it is a core part of an outfit that shapes the whole look. Take the classic LBD, for example: Pairing it with a small, sleek purse creates a polished, sophisticated look, while a roomy, slouchy hobo bag gives the same ensemble a more relaxed feel.
That’s the beauty of playing with different bag silhouettes—and why keeping up with trends is worth your while. To get you started, here are four popular bags to inspire your next style refresh.
The East-West Bag
The name comes from its distinct elongated, horizontal body—literally stretching from East to West. Its structured shape gives it an elegant appeal, while its compact proportions keep it from looking bulky. The long, slender straps add to its sleek design, making the East-West Bag an easy choice for polished and put-together looks.
Trizy, the Parisian brand’s iteration of the East-West bag, features a sleek silhouette, gold hardware, and long, flat straps. Available in burgundy, black, and choco, Trizy adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit.
The Bucket Bag
Bucket bags are known for their distinctive shape and often feature a drawstring closure that combines style and function. The cinched opening creates a softly gathered silhouette that feels relaxed in contrast to bags with more rigid frames.
Parisian redesigns the bucket bag in Verona, a cute purse with woven chain straps. It comes in black, brown, and white, and gives tailored looks a fun, feminine twist.
The Hobo Bag
Chic and versatile, the hobo bag has long been a staple in fashion. With its soft, unstructured silhouette, flexible materials, and roomy design, it’s a stylish yet practical choice for those who have plenty to carry.
Tony is Parisian’s oversized hobo bag. Available in black, choco, and burgundy, this slouchy carryall pairs well with flowy, feminine looks or works as an office bag that contrasts nicely with a blazer-and-trousers ensemble.
The Belted Baguette
The belted baguette combines two bag trends in one design: the compact, elongated shape of a baguette and the buckled belt detail of belted bags. The belt gives the popular silhouette an eye-catching accent, making this bag a chic choice for minimalist outfits where the buckle can stand out.
Parisian has two versions of the belted baguette. There’s Serena, which feels more feminine and dainty, and is available in black, beige, and a pretty old rose. For a little edge, you have Sabrina, with its uniquely shaped buckle and metallic rivets. You can get it in black, cream, and yellow.
From structured to slouchy, each one of these four trends brings a distinct character to an outfit. It’s proof that simply switching up your bag can transform your entire look.
