Phone Bags Are Suddenly Everywhere

And we found the best...

More and more, we’ve been seeing celebrities and street style stars out and about sans a bag. Handbags will never become completely obsolete, but the needs of today’s handbag carriers have changed drastically over the last 10 years. The micro and mini-bag trend has forced users to streamline what it is that they carry, and many handbag lovers have begun to carry less and less. While everyday handbag lovers don’t have the luxury of an assistant to carry their things or a car with a driver to leave their stuff in when moving from place to place, still, many of us leave the house for errands with only our phones thanks to mobile pay options.

Designers have started to capitalize on the growing popularity of going bag-less, creating cute phone bags that aren’t only a style-statment, but they are just as functional. These made-for-tech accessorys allow your smartest accessory to remain by your side without sacrificing style. From Gucci, Fendi and Saint Laurent to Kara and BOYY, there are a slew of options availble this fall, and the phone bag is proving to be one of the hottest accessories of 2021. We checked out some of the most fashion-foward shopping websites to bring you the very best. Are you into the idea of a phone bag or is the made-for-phone bag a hard pass?

I have had a BV one for about 2 years. Love it.

The Fendi one reminds me of a grandma’s bag. Expecting Virginia Slims to be inside

I saw that cute little Givenchy in store in a patent lavender; normally I’m not a minuscule bag fan, but omg was it gorgeous! I could see myself using it to run errands, a night out, etc. Definitely considering it 🙂

Im considering the Givenchy 4G one. Originally was looking at the cut phone holder but then I saw this one in person. This one is gorgeous. Spacious. Substantial and the quality is there. Definitely worth the price tag.

I have a Burberry one, but this is to be used only if you didn’t drive. I was left holding my car keys because it truly just holds your phone and your ID and Cards.

This is true! You could probably sneak in a house key and a couple of cards but that’s it. The only way I see this being a usable trend is when you’re carrying a tote, backpack or something else that makes you want to make your phone more easily accessible. Those bags are gorgeous but not something I’d purchase. For any price.

agreed it’s only good if you don’t drive. But if you live in a city and run out quickly to grab wine or ice cream or chase a kid around the park it’s perfect! Also, if you leave to city to visit family and make them all chauffeur you around everywhere because even in the suburbs you still “don’t drive” lol

I love SLGs, I love small bags, but I just cannot be convinced of a phone-only bag because I extremely rarely won’t have a pocket for my phone AND not be in a clutch-carrying environment.

And, not that it says much, but in all the “candid” photos I’ve seen of those, the person was always holding something in their hands on top of the phone-bag. So…

The world has lost its mind!

$2160 for the chanel one wow!! Too much. I will never spend that much on such a small accessory. I used to wear this trend a lot when i was in my teens. Considering getting one now again.

I like the idea of a super sleek and cute phone bag. But on a purely visual level, I hate the north-south orientation of the phone case bags. East-west looks better IMO, but at that point how is it any different from other tiny purses? And I do always need space for my keys and chapstick, at a minimum 🙂
