The Affordable "It" Bag.
If you’ve ever stumbled on fashion Tik Tok (or “FashionTok,” as they like to call it), you would’ve definitely seen a bulbous, puffy-looking shoulder bag as an accessory to thousands of outfits. The Oversized Quilted Shoulder Bag has taken social media by storm, combining genderless chic aesthetics with incredible functionality through its sheer size and hidden zippered compartments.
Since its initial release back in 2021, the bag has seen countless dupes surface on the internet and in stores in the pursuit of emulating the success of the original. However, the previously limited accessory has since been made more readily available, allowing most who want it, to get their hands on it. It’s the perfect summer accessory, with all that space being perfect for a weekend getaway, a beach trip or just a commute to the office yet still adding some flair to any ensemble.
Arriving in a recycled polyester made with plastic bottles and excess fibres, the bag features a main zippered compartment with a laptop separator and a small zippered pocket as well as two other hidden zippered compartments on the outside. The lengthy shoulder strap allows the bag to be worn both as a crossbody and in a tote style, hanging off one shoulder.
