When it comes to accessories, handbags are the bets example of chic functionality.  Of course, you carry your essential goods in it when you are on the go, but you are also making sure they look trendy and complement your overall look. This winter, handbag trends are downright experimental and are in fact quite a ‘mixed bag’. From hard-shell, structured shapes to bucket bags, there’s something for everyone.

Here are some of the hottest handbag trends that are all the rage this season.  

1. Bucket bags

This season is all about bucket bags.  Did you know that the bucket bag or an elongated shape with drawstring and a sturdy handle, was invented in 1932 by Gaston-louis Vuitton?  Since then, buckets have become a handbag staple and this winter is no different. The best part is that bucket bags are quite handy. They make for great everyday bags; throw in just about anything in them and you know for sure that you have ample space for more. We spotted the bucket bag trend at various fashion weeks, where top designers such as Gucci, Balmain and Chloe showed of some amazing design.

2. Chunky chains

Chain detailing featured prominently on accessories this season and it was similar story with bags. Be it Chanel, stella McCartney or Balenciaga, various designers lent smart handbags an edge, thanks to oversized gold chain detailing. The chain link handle is a non-mover on the trend’s leader board, so whatever style makes a statement- the chunkier the chain, the better!
