It’s just three months until 2018 hits and models strutting down the runway are already showcasing Spring Summer 2018 pieces. As we sit back and scroll through our mobile phone screens, looking through fashion websites or just following these Instagram influencers in light of Seoul Fashion Week SS18, we can’t help but to reminisce about our favourite Fall pieces.
Indeed, the shoes, accessories, and statement bags that are filling up the shelves in stores right now are Fall inspired runway pieces in hues of brown, black, burnt orange, plum, red.
The variety of Fall statement bags did not disappoint either. The fun pieces would include Fenty Puma by Rihanna Bear Mascot Backpack, while the likes of CÈLINE Cabas Clasp Bag are classy statements that we could take out with us for a whole day of meetings.
If you prefer bright pinks hues and deeper shades of red like maroon, have a look at these Fall statement bags that we picked. They may not be as loud as a neon orange statement bag for example but are equally eye catching, classy in their own way and a great conversation starter, not to mention easier to match with your outfit. Here are 10 curated pieces we love.
