The Updated Wristlets You’ll Want To Carry All Winter Long
They're back, and better than ever
Remember wristlets, the long-ago bag trend of our youth? The flimsy, zippered pouches that (barely) fit our Motorola phones and lipgloss, and were likely covered in some sort of monogram print by way of Coach or Dooney & Bourke? Well, we have news for you—the wristlet's cool older sister has stepped into the spotlight, and she's way more stylish and sophisticated.
Enter: the bracelet bag, the new bag trend providing us with all of the convenience of having everything we need at the flick of a wrist while being far more practical than the "handbags" of our youth. Today's bag-of-the-moment is large enough in size to fit our 2019 necessities and comes in way sleeker and edgier styles than in the past. With their unexpected textures and unconventional shapes, many of these wristlets practically double as works of art.
