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.

Back to school: same chaos, new lunchbox
On September 1, the new school year kicks off, and with it come early alarms, missing books and that slight September panic. Suddenly, your hallway is a shoe minefield again. The calendar is colour-coded. One kid wants pasta (but not that pasta) in their lunchbox, and the other is crying because you picked the wrong dinosaur socks. New routines slowly kick in, lunch boxes come back half full (if you’re lucky), and there's never enough time. We’ve listed the most essential things so you don’t forget, because you don’t have to be perfect. Just ready.
