Maxi bags, what a passion!

maxi_bagsDespite the evolution of fashion trends, with many designers presenting very small bags on the market recently, which are absolutely delicious and glamorous but not very practical (they can only fit your keys and perhaps your lip stick), many women still love the classic tote bag, wide and roomy, available in many different shapes (square, rounded, rectangular, half-moon and so on….) where they can easily keep their most intimate things and personal effects and, why not, even a change of clothes, in case they want to go out for dinner with their friends or with their partner.

Almost every woman has at least two tote bags in her wardrobe (a typical winter tote bag and a more dynamic tote to go with a fresher summer look) and doing without them sounds like a major sacrifice that they are not prepared to make.

The maxi bag, in fact, is nowadays, a sort of “portable home” where you can keep everything, your notebook, make-up accessories, books, even an afternoon snack. Then many women with small babies, transform their tote bag into an all-purpose bag, to carry the feeding bottle and the diapers, so that they no longer need to carry the classic diaper bag  that came with the stroller, every day.

Handbags and accessories’ producers know just how strong the desire of practicality and convenience is in a business woman or a new mother, and for this reason they work very hard every year, expending all their creativity to think up larger and larger bags (some quite enormous), with plenty of internal and external pockets where everything can be kept in absolute order.

According to some designers, such as our Miuccia Prada, the handbag can be considered a real “miracle” for the modern woman, being the only accessory that she buys with pleasure. It doesn’t come in dress sizes, it is very simple to choose and, above all, doesn’t oblige her to have a direct confrontation with her age or weight (unlike buying a dress).

Even though it is the small and medium-sized handbags, conceived by the very famous  international fashion brands, that have been most successful in becoming real fashion icons over the years (just consider the world-famous Kelly by Hermès, or the Bamboo bag by Gucci or the very small Baguette created by Fendi), the modern woman, in her everyday life, continues to choose the tote bag as her most faithful companion, where she can keep everything and feel completely at ease in any situation, at work and in her private life.

With a wide strap or a double handle,  in fabric (for the most casual and jaunty versions) or in leather (the exotic leather variant is very glamorous, conferring a touch of undisputed elegance and natural beauty), the maxi bag is at the top of the wish list of every woman, who can’t go out without her precious accessory but that, at the same time, wants to feel absolutely comfortable and free, sure to have always everything she needs to look young and dynamic, even after a long and hard working day.

And what other than a beautiful and refined maxi bag, can fill that need?
