Fashion, like other things in life, draws inspiration from the past, reviving old trends such as low waists, sheer garments and the latest; oversized bags. These extra-large bags have made a grand comeback in 2023 when practicality and functionality were more important than making a fashion statement.
And because the days of micromini bags are behind us, with fashionistas deciding on practicality, super in luxury bags have remained on the trend in a triumphant return that seems will endure.
Oversized luxury handbags are dominating runways and street style alike, proving that some trends never truly go out of style. For black women in the entertainment, oversized bags were more than accessories; they were symbols of the wealth and power that they claimed in an industry where both were hard-earned.
Oversized luxury bags were as much about style as they were statements of agency, telling the world that they, too, belonged.
Now, as the fashion cycle brings oversized luxury handbags back into the spotlight, it is a reminder of the cultural groundwork laid by Black women in the early 2000s and homage to Black women who transformed these bags into symbols of power, resilience and style that remain as bold and timeless as ever.
