The New Going-Out “It” Bag Is Covered In Crystals
*The weekend has entered the chat.*
With warm weather already upon us, it’s time to shop for a new going-out bag. While the baguette style has become a go-to for evening plans, the crystal bag, covered in all things sparkly and beaded, packs a glamorous punch.
Luxury brands, like Prada, Chanel, and Fendi have been enhancing their classic silhouettes with sequins, rhinestones, and beads, resulting in a KiraKira-inspired revamp. Off the runway, cult-favorite brands, such By Far, Les Petits Joueurs, and Staud, are also taking this glistening embellishment to the next level. By Far’s holographic material elevates its Y2K-style baguette bag, while Staud’s all-over rhinestones bring major disco-ball energy to the mini bag silhouette.
Celebrities are welcoming the crystal-bag trend with designer versions, too. Sightings over the past few months include Dua Lipa’s Eera moon bag styled with a crystal-adorned denim-on-denim look, Kim Kardashian carried a sparkly Balenciaga handbag to accent her head-to-toe hot pink ensemble, and Beyoncé’s embellished drawstring Jimmy Choo bag styled with a contrasting blazer.
Although these crystal bags are ideal for a night out, they definitely don’t have to be limited to just your evening parties and get-togethers. Pairing them with an unexpected knit and relaxed denim is a welcome twist. Keep it casual with OTT accessories and make this your everyday purse.
