What’s going to be the It-bag of 2020?
Harper’s Bazaar listed down a bunch of style predictions last Dec. 13. A lot of them are great, but the trend that got our attention were fan-shaped bags. This accessory first made waves during New York Fashion Week spring 2020 when brands like Staud and Bevza included fan-shaped bags in their collections.
Fan-shaped bags also resonate with us because it reminds us of the pamaypay we use and several Filipino brands have come out with their own take on the style. If you’re into this trend, here are some bags you can cop in 2020.
Island Girl Raine Fan-Shaped Clutch
This abaca clutch from Island Girl can be paired with formal and more casual outfits. You can also choose from three colors: natural, blue, and orange. Available at Kultura, SM Makati.
