This season’s fashion trends might be all about embracing a louder, more colourful way of dressing, but that doesn’t mean the quiet luxury trend that’s been storming the internet over the last 12 months is over. For many people, the minimalist, classic look has become a staple in their wardrobes, helping create timeless, cohesive looks that never go out of style.
If you’re still firmly aboard the stealth wealth train, you’re in luck, because PrettyLittleThing just dropped the perfect handbag to accompany your minimalist wardrobe. The Slouchy Weave Tote Bag, £26 here, is the perfect addition to any old money-inspired ‘fit, giving you the luxury look on a budget.
The PLT tote has a similar look to Bottega Veneta’s celeb-loved Large Hop Bag, £3140 here, with a woven faux leather material and slouchy, relaxed structure that looks both effortless and chic. The beauty of a woven slouchy tote is that it’s super easy to style with almost any outfit, too, and its oversized design makes it just as good for running errands as it does for heading on a night out.
You can take it to the office with a pair of straight leg trousers and loafers, or style it with a maxi dress and sandals for summer trips to the beach. You can even use it for carrying around your family’s essentials when you’re heading out for a day of fun.
The bag measures 34cm high and 39.5cm wide, so you can fit pretty much all your essentials inside. From your phone, wallet and keys to your makeup bag, tablet and even a lightweight knit for when the weather drops, making it the perfect addition to your spring wardrobe.
It even fastens with a hook clip on the top to help keep your belongings safe and sound, whilst also helping the bag maintain its slouchy yet structured shape. You can also choose from two colours, with the tote coming in either a more neutral chocolate hue or a bang-on-trend cherry red that’s great for adding a pop of colour to your outfit.
If you love a designer looking bag on a budget as much as we do, we also rounded up some of our current favourite high street buys here. You can find everything from a Marks and Spencer’s £45 straw tote that gives a Loewe look, to Mango’s £36 Jacquard Shoulder Bag that rivals a retro Gucci classic on the list, and they’re all super easy to style with your existing wardrobe.
