A great thing about this trend is that you can buy it now and wear for many years to come, quiet luxury will never go out of style!

5. Top Handle Bags
We usually see trending new shapes and details, but from time to time a classic bag design will increase in popularity, and in spring 23 it will be the iconic top handle. With an archive hailing back to the early 19th century, top-handle bags became the go-to companion for women due to their delicate charm and easy-to-carry nature. The leather top-handle bag is a must-have for pairing with workwear and everyday outfits with a timeless, feminine style. A top handle can be a work briefcase or an evening bag, they do add a sophistication to any occasion. The great thing about buying into this trend is that it isn’t really a trend, a top handle is a classic bag that will never go out of style!

6. Basket bags
Basket straw bags are a summer staple and this year they will be more popular than ever! Few accessories encapsulate the free-spirited mood of summer’s carefree days quite like a textured tote. Practical for days at the beach but still suitable for the city, you can fit all your summer essentials in a good basket bag. There are several options to choose from, but I’m a big fan of the Loewe basket bag, it is handmade and has a great price point.

In this season you can embrace maximalism in the form of glimmering, shimmering accessories.
