For several seasons, impractical miniature handbags that only fit a single lip gloss dominated runways, award shows and the closets of A-list celebrities. For those who despised the itty-bitty bag, you're in luck. In 2023, you no longer have to sacrifice convenience for chic, because oversized bags are back.
Of course, this new trend isn’t exactly innovative, but rather, a recycled style from the early 2000s. Nevertheless, if you’re excited to have access to all your essentials wherever you go, start by filling your closet with these 20 big bags.
