As the Resort 2019 and Pre-Fall 2018 lines continue to roll out simultaneously—in lookbook and actual product form, respectively—a triangular style from Balenciaga that’s already made it into celeb hands has me wondering: Why now? What do we gain from a bag with fewer corners? Can the novelty alone propel this to “it” bag status? And if you’re already nostalgic for the soft, square bags of yesteryear (and most years, throughout the history of time), well, those are in here too.
Bella Hadid
Bella Hadid is seen here tucking her passport back into her Fendi Runaway Bag at JFK. This classic shopper tote may look a bit slight here, but it still retails for well over $3K. Shop the Fendi Runaway Bag via farfetch.com ($3,690)
Gigi Hadid
Here’s Gigi, leaving her NYC apartment with a comic print Prada Etiquette Bag. We took our first look at this bag around this same time last year. Shop the Prada Etiquette Bag via Neiman Marcus ($2,700)
Helen Mirren
Helen Mirren recently attended the 2018 Epsom Derby Day at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Epsom, UK (of course) with this black Loewe Missy Bag. Shop the Loewe Missy Bag via farfetch.com ($1,750)
Karlie Kloss
Karlie Kloss was spotted carrying this black Chanel Boy Bag while out with friends in NYC. Shop Chanel Bags via Vestiaire Collective
Penelope Cruz
Penelope Cruz is back in town promoting her new film, Loving Pablo, about drug cartel leader Pablo Escobar. Here she is heading into an appearance with a sleek white Tod’s Sella Bag. Shop the Tod’s Sella Bag via farfetch.com ($2,165)
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is one of the very first celebs to flaunt the Balenciaga Triangle Bag. We’d love to feature this in an future edition of What Fits. Shop the Balenciaga Triangle Bag via Net-a-Porter ($2,085)
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Here’s Rosie once again, out in NYC with a brown Céline Soft Cube Bag. This style was first introduced last summer, but we haven’t seen too many of them in celeb hands. Shop Céline Bags via Vestiaire Collective
SZA
Finally, we have recording artist SZA, arriving at LAX with a stylish Gucci Belt Bag. Belt bags are another curious bag phenomenon I’ve spent a lot of time waxing poetic about this year. Shop the Gucci Belt Bag via Gucci ($730)
