What defines a great fashion investment? It’s something timeless, impeccably crafted, and versatile enough to complement every piece in your wardrobe. Angelina Jolie’s latest go-to accessory meets all these criteria: an oversized tote bag. Throughout the summer, she consistently relied on this accessory.
The actress has been seen on numerous occasions sporting the Celine ‘Horizontal Cabas’ bag, effortlessly matching it with a range of ensembles – from traditional camel suits to breezy summer maxi dresses and sleek all-black outfits.
With its timeless design (the ‘Horizontal Cabas’ tote bag is available in black or brown and showcases the fashion house’s iconic Triomphe motif embroidery), Celine’s oversized tote emerges as a savvy investment. It remains perpetually stylish, suitable for any season, and, naturally, accommodates all your essentials.
Given the functionality it offers, it’s hardly surprising that the luxury oversized tote remains a staple. According to Cassie Smart, head of womenswear at Matches Fashion, there’s a growing preference among customers for larger bag sizes, a trend that continues unabated. “Over the past year, we’ve witnessed a significant inclination towards larger totes and bags, with our purchases increasing by 35%,” she stated when we initially covered this trend in 2021.
She further noted, “The tote has evolved beyond being solely a practical accessory for carrying your work laptop. Many extra-large bags, oversized totes, and holdalls exude luxury and serve as timeless investment pieces that resonate with our clientele.”
