Nostalgic bags are back

September is the month of change. With shifting seasons and the start of fashion month, it’s the perfect time to refresh your style staples. This season, nostalgia takes the spotlight: Y2K is back. Born in the late ’90s and early 2000s as a rebellion against minimalism, the trend, with its playful shapes, glossy textures, and unapologetic statement bags, is once again setting the pace.

Think mini shoulder bags with attitude, patent finishes, metallic accents, and unexpected pops of color. This bold return is not just a revival: it’s a reinvention, rivaling even the current indie sleaze aesthetic in cultural energy. Let's discover our favorite bags and our favourite looks on how to style them this season.
