So 2009 saw the oversize bag, the satchel, the large clutch, chain handles (wrapped round the wrist), heavily embellished totes...
This year, what bags are we set to be carrying, wearing.... dragging?
So the first and probably hardest to sport is the backpack. This bag looks casual, chic and practical. Unfortunately the high street hasn't really catered for this mini trend. But hopefully they will catch on. Having said that, Topshop have a few cute styles.
The second and most controversial style is...wait for it...the bumbag. Re-introduced by Marc Jacobs, D&G, Louis Vuitton...I have to say I love this little number! Fabulous for summer, leaving your hands free for playing beach ball/eating icecream/making sandcastles... Practical yet stylish. Again I struggle to find any on the high street. Fingers crossed.
Third for a mention is the x-body bucket bag. I really love the casualness of this bag, it gives the impression that we just pop in our lippy, throw it on and go. It just screams "I am low maintainance!"
But unless you are low maintanance I suggest throwing the rest of your kit and kaboodle in a fairtrade shopper.

Another great style is the satchel, this one was around last year and will stick for some time. Best in tan or brown this bag makes us look intelligent. We look like we are carrying books back to the library not carrying 3 make up bags, a huge, unnecessary wallet and a change of clothes just in case we go out tonight.
Now, one huge but practical style is the weekender. I have to say, I'm not partial to this type of bag. Mainly because I pack half my wardrobe for just one night and need wheels to help me cart it around. It is ever popular and sales of this bag still continue to grow.
I hope this helps when choosing your very own "it bag" of 2010. I'm being good for a little while...no new handbags for me! Well, we'll see.
