Small North-South Bags Are Having A Moment

The trend for small bags get a new update for Cruise 2021.

Compact, lightweight, and stylish – designer handbags especially those in much smaller sizes (think Jacqumues’ Le Chiquito and the ones from the Fendi x Chaos Techcessory debut in Oct) have been especially adored by the fashion crowd.

Flash forward to the Cruise 2021 collections and another mini silhouette is making its rounds: the north-south handbag. While these handbags match the small-meets-easy-breezy memo, they’re also roomier enough to fit most of your essentials making it an incredibly great style to boot.

Ahead, we share a little more about these bags of the moment and show some style inspirations you can cop.

Head to the beach with a fun, coloured iteration like Chanel’s and pair it up with a cute co-ord set or bikini.

You can never go wrong with an all-black look and if you’re easing into the trend, a great north-south silhouette pick would be this versatile leather handphone bag by Burberry that can be hand-carried or slung over the body.

Have you seen the #GucciModelChallenge on TikTok? If you’re familiar with the trend, this look seen on an IRL Gucci staff member for their Epilogue collection goes to show you that the look can be achieved by anyone. Simply carry it off by layering up in eye-catching coloured and textured garments matched with some sunnies, a statement accessory (or two), and a monogrammed north-south handbag.

For a more feminine touch, pair your north-south bag with a floral shift dress. Add some interest by wearing it as a necklace.

Your north-south handbag of choice can be even paired chicly with your favourite neutrals – if you want a little more of a bohemian feel, style up your look with a painterly bandana.

Louis Vuitton’s Game On collection reminded us that we can still add a little childlike playful spirit. So we think it’s fine to match a graphic north-south bag with an experimental top and a sleek pair of bottoms to elevate the look.
