Bags Of Fun: These Accessories Are A Dopamine Dream

An antidote to dreary weather and a challenging environment around us, fashion and accessories are looking to inject a little joy into every day.

We’re not suggesting it’ll fix things or that we ignore wider issues in our homes, country and globally, simply that minimalist and sleek looks are being overtaken on runways and in stores. In their place, bold colour, textural fun and little add-ons are giving serious a swerve in favour of something more quirky.

Look to Chanel’s pre-fall collection, the first under Matthieu Blazy. Faux animal fur and leopard print helped bags like the 25 Mini, all covered in spots, become the season’s most-wanted.

Dior’s Jonathan Anderson is known for embracing whimsical details like clovers and ladybirds, and there are plenty in his designs now in stores.

Closer to home, MAISON de SABRÉ has just released a collection of leather bags and charms in bold playful hues guaranteed to stand out and be unlike any other in your collection.

Here are the bright, mood-boosting pieces that are making us smile, and click ‘add to cart’ right now.
