Why The Croissant Bag Is About To Replace Every Other Handbag You Own

Lemaire’s cult croissant bag now comes in an array of chic shades and sizes, including this mini version in a pale pistachio green. Don’t be fooled, though: it’s still surprisingly capacious, and can easily fit your phone, wallet, keys and all manner of accoutrements.

Perfectly puffy, pastry-shaped and in a beautiful shade of bright red, COS’ take on the croissant bag ticks off multiple trends in one go. Pair with head-to-toe summer neutrals or black to make it really pop.

Louis Vuitton has recently re-released its croissant-shaped shoulder bags in modern varnished leather and denim iterations, but we still have a soft spot for the brand’s monogrammed Noughties original: a vintage bag worth investing in.

This might technically be called a ‘kidney’ bag, but Damson Madder’s design still has all the slouchy, cross-body sling vibes we’re after. The ruffled strap and subtly embroidered roses make it look far more expensive than it is, too.

Tucked under your arm, this curved hobo-style bag in chalk will instantly elevate even the most basic of outfits. It will also fit the majority of your possessions, so it’s a great work bag too.

We can always rely on Reformation to come out with bang-on-trend designs that hit that intersection between affordable and luxury. This snake print Rosetta bag is made of quality leather and has a nifty magnetic closure, but still retails at less than £400.

We couldn’t not include the original Fortune Croissant bag from the brand that launched the trend in the first place. Made from butter-soft brown leather and featuring top-stitched panels that nod to the French pastry’s flaky layers, this is as croissant-like as you can get.
