Classic bags in grown-up shades of tan, black and cream that will truly never date were everywhere – from Hermès to Christian Dior and Louis Vuitton. One thing’s clear: if you’re looking to make a serious bag investment, this could be your season. Elsewhere, Chloé and Jacquemus adorned their bags with water-bottle holders, Chanel and Givenchy went in for EarPod holders, and Alexander McQueen outdid them all, with hip flasks hanging off waists. Fendi led the way in this regard, with models wearing feminine coats, pencil skirts and chain-link belts, with brass cigarette lighters and Apple watches, iPhone pens and EarPod holders hanging off them as part of a collaboration with Chaos. But the most fun to be had was via the bag charms that gave the catwalk an air of joyful practicality. The only signs of “look at me!” exuberance came in the form of tasselled bags – the ideal pet, if your dinner date turns out to be boring – as well as in the bags that sported chain detailing (a trend that also appeared on shoes).
