Handbag trends: 2019
From the stratospheric rise of the bracelet bag to a homage to the queen's favourite styke, these are the handbag trends 2019 is pushing to the fore
Bracelet bag trend
Belt bags and bucket bags will have to share the spotlight, as their new, evolved sibling – the bracelet bag – is the latest style to come storming (or, indeed, swinging) onto the scene. Expect to see a lot of these come fashion week.

Multi-tone bag trend
Adding colour is always a sure fire way to pack an extra punch, and multi-tone on modern shapes is a clear win for 2019. Keep an eye on Boyy's designs, which are the new status quo for influencers from Copenhagen to Manhattan.

Faux fur bag trend
While 2019 might spell the end of the fashion set's love affair with beaded bags, sryupy, youthful bag trends have not died out completely. Take, for example, the fuzzy, teddy-like bags being pushed by cool-girl brand Shrimps, and replicated on the highstreet.

Mock-croc bag trend
This season's louche, 70s vibe has rendered faux crock one of the most covetable materials when it comes to accessorising. The mock-exotic finish on simple shapes is the perfect marriage of understated and loud.
