Inspired by the classic bowling bag, this dapper design also seemingly draws upon the style of a men's briefcase.

The Chloe C bag, which can be identified from the large C logo on the purse, has unfortunately joined the ranks of discontinued designs.
However, mini bags continue to be the rage and can be found at virtually any label. Just pick your favourite and bring it on a holiday with you like Yoona here. Or you can head to pre-loved sites like Vestiare or The Fifth Collection to try your luck!

Shoulder bags have been very popular. The Miu Wander bag is Miuccia Prada's take on the bag type and it incorporates the bag's iconic matelasse quilting technique contrasted against a harder chain handle.
