Lemaire Croissant Small Paneled Textured-Leather Shoulder Bag
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.

COS Canopy Mini Crossbody Bag
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 Pre-Loved Croissant Cloth Handbag
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.

Damson Madder Quilted Rose Ruched Kidney Bag
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.
5
Charles & Keith Toni Knotted Curved Hobo Bag
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.

Reformation Medium Rosetta Shoulder Bag
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.

Lemaire Fortune Croissant Knotted Leather Shoulder Bag
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.
8
Uniqlo Round Mini Crochet Bag
Uniqlo’s sell-out nylon cross-body bag is great for day-to-day casual looks, but for the summer, we’d recommend upgrading to the brand’s new crochet style. For festival season, there’s no bag better.

Arket Mid Size Curved Shoulder Bag
Arket’s croissant bag is one of the most versatile on the market, with its extendable strap that means it can be worn either cross-body or perched on your shoulder. The burgundy colourway sold out with days, so you’ll need to be fast if you want to secure the just-released green version.

Nanushka’s Anja bag makes quite the statement with its scrunched look and high-shine patent finish.

Khaite Olivia Medium Metallic Textured-Leather Tote
Few do effortless chic quite like Khaite, and the brand’s latest bag style is the perfect example. The Olivia is decidedly croissant-like in shape, made using silver leather and kept unstructured so as to sit casually in the crook of your arm.
Of course Parisian brand Rouje has nailed the croissant bag brief with its just-released Le Parigot design in soft red suede… Well, it comes with the territory, doesn’t it?

The Row Slouchy Banana Two Leather-Trimmed Canvas Shoulder Bag
For a timeless investment piece, look no further than The Row’s so-called ‘banana’ bag. It’s a favourite of Jennifer Lawrence’s, which is just about all you need to know.

Lulu Guinness Black Lilian Leather Medium Cleo Handbag
Lulu Guinness’ playful take on the croissant trend comes in the form of this sleek leather Cleo, that snaps together at the top thanks to a hidden magnet closure. A great little evening bag that will go with absolutely everything.
