The tale of two bags according to Victoria Beckham
From one extreme to the next

From one extreme to the next
Wondering what the next designer bag trend for AW18 is? Look no further than Victoria Beckham's New York Fashion Week catwalk show, where it's all about extremes.
Yup, for next season, you're either going to go big, go small or simple go home. Don't even try to think of anything in between.
And when I say big, I mean huge, as in, you can fit an actual person in it, as VB very kindly proved backstage because she's all about the LOLs.
It's not a new trend, sure (remember the Balenciaga Ikea bag and the quilted bags at Mulberry?) but it's proof that if you weren't sure about the trend last season, then now's the time to embrace it. Just think of how much you can fit in there. VB chic-ly calls hers the 'duvet shopper'.
However, if you really don't fancy it, you can down the 'powder box' bag, which is pretty much like you'd imagine. Small enough to fit your compact, lipstick, and maybe even your iPhone. Just about.
If you can't pick a camp, we'd say go for big during the day, and small in the evening.
