Say goodbye to the baguette bags of the world and start thinking bigger.
The mini or ‘baguette’ bag has had us wrapped around their little leather handles for far too long. Just as predicted, the fashion pendulum has swung from one extreme to the other, and we are seeing an influx of big bags popping up everywhere.
As we bid adieu to the Y2K era and its compact companions, I wonder if we are now opting for colossal carry-alls as a welcome party for the new wave of noughties inspired fashion - with every bold, larger-than-life accessory invited.
This is a win for functionality. Baby bags are cute as hell but when all you can fit in a bag is your phone, wallet, lip gloss, and a single tampon, it almost defeats the whole purpose of a bag.
Here are Chatty’s favourite big bags to get you through the rest of winter and carry you during every season:
Jacquemus Fishnet Tote
Tote bag lovers, we’ve got you covered. How about mixing a little mermaid core into your everyday life? Jacquemus are known for their bags so it’s no surprise they’ve jumped straight on the big bag trend.

Yu Mei Teresa Tote
This bad boy will hold just about anything - phone, laptop, jacket, even a spare pair of shoes. Yu Mei is a New Zealand owned and operated leather luxurys brand so you can count on Yu Mei for top qual pieces. We are so here for this striking tangerine orange.

Carried by the one and only Miss Sydney Sweeny on the streets, this YSL number might break the bank but that’s what Afterpay is for right? We are absolutely obsessed with this classic black padded number and you’re likely to run it into the ground, that's what it's made for!
