No one would describe me as a maximalist. I carry a Mansur Gavriel bucket bag almost every day, which is almost the same as wearing a sandwich board instructing people to ask me about my love for minimalism. I’ve had aspirations toward maximalism in the past, though, and I still very much appreciate the variety that it brings–as much as I love a simple, perfect bag, I also want crazy, jewel-covered bags to be available. A girl’s got to have options.
Fashion’s been dominated by minimal, clean-lined accessories ever since Céline’s bags rocketed to popularity, but now, the tide seems to be turning a little bit (or, at the very least, diversifying). Spring new arrivals have brought with them a bounty of jewels, feathers, embroidery, fringe and, well, whatever Moschino’s doing. Below, check out a variety of bags that will satisfy your desire for a little something extra.
