There is something to be said for the beige coloured handbag. While you might always be tempted to opt for classic black for its neutrality, versatility and timeless style credentials, the beige bag in hues of taupe, camel and caramel is often overlooked. While a black handbag is great in the winter months, come the summer, a dark bag often clashes with our frothy, lightly coloured outfits. A camel bag however, whatever the weather shines on through the seasons whatever the weather.
Taupe, caramel, beige, cream, all these neutral hues look sensationally chic with black, navy and brown in the winter months and come the spring/summer, when your wardrobe is filled with lighter toned outfits will still work beautifully and continue to be on trend and seasonally appropriate.
With that in mind, we’re giving the beige handbag a shout out and have rounded up some of our favourites here, for you to shop now and love forever.
From huge hauler totes that can hold everything to tiny designer inspired micro bags perfect for your mobile and not much else. Whatever size bag you like, we have something for you.
- The architectural one: This Mango leather bucket shopper is absolutely gorgeous. We love the curved lip of the bag and the double strap option that means you can wear it over your shoulder or hold it in your hand. This is great for smartening up your work look for when office life returns. Truly a bag that means business. Leather bag, £79.99, Mango
2. The puffer: They say in fashion everything comes back around and right now it’s the turn of the quilted shopper. Last season seen at Prada, before that at Chanel (about a decade ago), the puffer, quilted bag is now available across the high street. Perfect for trips to the park or supermarket dashes this season. Recycled material puffer bag, £89, Arket
3. The quilted chain bag: The Chanel 2.55 is possibly the most coveted handbag available today (aside from maybe the Hermes Birkin). Subsequently you can get many high street versions inspired by the designer classic. This beige bag with silver clasp and chain detail is a perfect everyday or special occasion piece. Quilted bag, £22, My Accessories London at ASOS
4. The only bag you need right now: With out socialising reduced to socially distanced walks most of our bags aren’t seeing the list of day. This tiny phone sized bag is great for when all you need if your mobile and a credit card. Smart phone bag, £14.99, H&M
5. The shopper: Supermarket shopping is our new disco so we’re looking to bust out our new shopping trolley in the aisles. This wicker, basket bag on wheels is so chic, picking up the weekly shop never looked so good. Shopping trolley, £49.99, Zara
6. The basket weave: Bottega Veneta made everyone go wild for the woven bag and the trend shows no signs of abating. If you’ve been looking to get on board then the time is now as this chic Dune version is reduced from £70 to just £28! Again this size shoulder/crossbody bag is great for everyday or special occasions. Bag, was £70 now £28, Dune London
7. Animal print is a neutral: Slightly darker than the others, the cognac and snake print combo is super chic. This bag will look gorgeous against a black or navy winter coat and super chic with a white summer dress, now that’s bag versatility. Bag, £29.50, Marks and Spencer
8. The vintage vibe: We’re suckers for a box bag for their vintage stylings. Reminiscent of a jewellery box and the chicest of luggage, this little box bag is perfect for summer weddings that we really hope make a reappearance in 2021.
