Pop culture’s fashion icon, Morticia Addams, once famously said, ‘Black is such a happy colour’. While it’s arguable- given that it’s not a colour technically- it’s true that black never goes out of style. In a year where trend reports were filled with colour-blinding bright pink splashes throughout the Barbie wave, black has been conspicuous in its presence. Black has always dominated, but it seems to particularly find its footing as a wardrobe essential during the fall season. When it comes to bags this coming season, the options are plenty – spacious and soft, an updated design in a classic form – but these are definitely going to be black—think crossbody satchels, baguettes, buckets, or big totes.
Throughout fashion history, a black bag has been carried by countless style icons. The iconic Hermes Kelly’s most popular colorway is black, undisputedly.
Apart from Hermès, Chanel’s iconic bag shapes, including the 2.55, 19, and the classic flap, were also highly popular in their black variants, which are now undoubtedly the most timeless fashion pieces. If you are looking to add a new hand accessory to your glitzy fall wardrobe, minus the sad beige, these black bags should be on your lust list.
