I Spot New

There’s nothing I love more than scouting out a new It bag, mostly because I’m so picky when I shop for anything that, when I finally settle on a new piece of arm candy, I do so only when I know I’m going to wear it over and over again. We can all agree that there’s something magical about spotting that next cult bag—the one that effortlessly elevates any outfit and becomes a staple among the fashion set—but what happens when you find four? After spending hours scouring street-style shots from the past month from fashion capitals around the globe, these standout bags have emerged as the undeniable new favourites. Meet the Bottega Veneta Hop, Loewe Squeeze, Miu Miu Wander, and Toteme T-Lock.

In a sea of ever-changing trends, these four bags have solidified their place as the must-have accessories of the moment but, if you ask me, they also have hallmarks of staying-power too. Whether you opt for the timeless allure of the Bottega Veneta Hop, the playful charm of the Loewe Squeeze, the adventurous spirit of the Miu Miu Wander, or the understated elegance of the Toteme T-Lock, one thing’s for certain: These are all destined to become wardrobe staples for fashion enthusiasts this year.
