5 Best Designer Bags Brands to Watch Out For In 2019

 This season has seen a slew of changes in bag-fashion as the best luxury bags have silently evolved from large tote bags to miniatures, and from smaller totes to larger than life totes. If we were to pick some of the best handbags for women, it would be a hard choice to make. With the new season, we’ve witnessed a return of the monogram print, with brands like Fendi & Chanel leading the way with monogram miniatures and slingbacks, to the ever trending miniature purses, bum bags, and more.

While we wish we could list out the top 50 iconic bags every woman should own, we thought we’d go a little smaller with the 5 best designer bags brands that you should watch out for in 2019. Out of the top designer handbags every woman should own, here are our picks for the most popular designer handbags for women this year.

1. Celine

The Celine Le 16 was the first bag to be designed after Hedi Slimane took over as the artistic director for the House of Celine in early 2018. One of the first things the photographer and fashion designer did since his arrival, was launched a new bag.

With a classy finish, the Le 16 Bag exudes sophistication with a cropped flap at the top of the bag, and a rounded belt around it. With a slightly puffed shape, the bag comes in a wide range of colours and three sizes, and also offers different choices of calfskin material. Like Hermes, in the initial months of its launch, the bag was made exclusive to certain buyers. As of today, the chic and sophisticated Le 16 bag is available worldwide.

Hedi made a very statement with his joining right at the get-go, and we’re quite excited for what’s in store from the House of Celine. But with the launch of the Le 16, the brand has made a soon-to-be-iconic masterpiece of a tote.

2. Le Chiquito by Jacquemus -

If you’re thinking of the best designer crossbody bags 2019, well, look no further!

Among all the trending bags this season, the Le Chiquito purse by Jacquemus takes the win for the category of best designer crossbody bags for 2019. Said to be the tiniest bag in the world, the Le Chiquito purse by Jacquemus is hands down among the best designer crossbody bags for 2019. It has lately become a popular favorite among stars of the likes of Rihanna, Kylie Jenner, Hailey Baldwin, Priyanka Chopra and many more. One of the reasons we love this mini purse is because of its inclusive and gender-nonconforming design. Of the best designer crossbody bags 2019, our favorite is definitely the Le Chiquito for breaking societal notions of class, religion or gender, and its ability to complement style irrespective of who’s wearing it. In fact, the designer, Simon Porte Jacquemus, himself recently sported the trend.

Utilitywise, there isn’t much with the Jacquemus, but one may consider shrinking their purse essentials into bite-sized fashionable miniatures. These miniature purses also come as a necklace hung around the neck and is definitely the ‘it’ bag of the season.
