I love sharing anything about bags.  As you know I am really into bags.  It does not matter if it's not a designer or luxury brand, but as long as I like it... I save to have it.  So the question is - What are the upcoming bag trends for 2026 ?  You may have it now in your closet or maybe you can find a better alternative if you cannot afford a luxury brand. The Fuzzy   Miss Fluffy Lady Miss Fluffy B-kin Bag Balmain Sync Bag (source: Balmain ) Fuzzy or Fluffy - whatever you call it.  Bags made with faux fur , this trend came about with the birth of plushie bag pendants - the Labubu and Jelly Cat .  The trend will definitely continue until 2026.  Well I have one, my Miss Fluffy bag or as some would call the Jellycat Birkin .   The Croissant Zara Metal Handle Hand bag (source: Zara ) Fendigraphy Mini (source: Fendi ) Balmain Sync Bag (source: Balmain) Well your guess is as good as mine.  It's the bag that is shaped like a croissa...

source: Dior.com One of the most coveted bags that came out in 2018 from the House of Dior was the Book Tote.  These totes come in Medium (36.5cm), Large (41.5cm) and the mini (8cm).  Initially the tote's original design was the classic Oblique in Navy blue and later on new designs and colors are added.  You can also customize the bag by putting your name or initials. source: Google.com This year they launched a new size for this popular tote - the small size that measures 26.5 x 21 x 14cm / 10.5 x 8.5 x 5.5 inches.  So if you feel that the medium or large is too big and the mini size is way too small well this is the perfect size for you.  It can fit an iPad Air 4 or iPad Pro 11. So which Dior Book Tote size is for you? xo, Chiq♥
