Bracelet bags are the accessory trend to know – and follow. We saw leading designer brands showcase all over the Autumn Winter 2024 runway; from Chanel to Chloe, Gabriela Hearst to Prada, Alaia, Alexander McQueen, and many more.
Bracelet bags are not just any bag, they are a hybrid between a bracelet and a bag, though it is not to be confused with a clutch bag with a wrist strap. We have seen plenty of handbags with a strap to slip your hand into to ensure you have it on you at all times, but they can look a bit old fashioned, which is why we love the bracelet bag as it offers a modern spin on the style.
The main standout feature is a bracelet bag feature a giant metal bangle as a strap, perhaps a buckle belt strap, or a chain attachment to clasp onto your valuables.
The strap shouldn’t be a leather or plain chain like many designs, the key here is to find a bag where the strap adds extra sparkle to your whole outfit, rather than a practical afterthought. What we mean by this is if you saw the metallic bracelet strap on someone’s wrist, it could easily be confused for a bangle.
This trend may sound familiar to a millennial, and you’d be right. This trend was a go-to circa 2010, and now it is back it is giving many of us a taste of nostalgia.
The bracelet bag is best suited for eveningwear or formal occasions – any time you can leave the house with minimal valuables.
There are plenty of styles to shop from high end and high street stores. Ever on the lookout for a bargain, we have whittled down our favourite bracelet bags to take you from date night to cocktails with your besties, to the accessory to complete your wedding guest ensemble.
