The Once-Outdated Handbag Trend Set for a 2025 Revival

Embrace loud luxury by paying attention to colors and hardware

Think about the iconic fashionistas of cinema. Who would Elle Woods of “Legally Blonde” be without her recognizable Tiffany necklace? Or, remember the Marc Jacobs purse that had Andy and her friend Lily drooling in “The Devil Wear Prada”? Handbags with this iconic level of recognition are becoming all the rage once again, so look for details that will make your handbags instantly identifiable. But if you’re not a logo person, there are other ways to be loud.

Bold and shiny elements of gold and silver are increasingly front and center when it comes to luxury handbags. Embellishments like gold purse strings make the entire bag into not just an accessory, but a fashion statement all on its own. The loud luxury trend also gives bag enthusiasts an excuse to experiment with colors that are bold and playful. After all, the tones of a Louis Vuitton bag were unmistakable in the early 2000s. So forget the neutrals for a while and pick something that catches your eye, whether it’s a statement palette, lavish hardware, or indeed, a logo. Say goodbye to less-is-more fashion trends with maximalist outfits, and take a risk by selecting an opulent purse to match.
