Ceremonial Bags That Aren't Potlis!
Y2K shoulder bags with lehengas? Yes please!

There is something about the good old potli bag that echos timlessness. The bag was relevant ten years ago, is relevant today, and chances are, that we'll see them everywhere during the wedding season ten years from now as well. However, confession: while we love a good old potli bag, sometimes, we want to ditch them for minaudières or wristlets, or even Y2K bags! If you too, would like to get a break from the potli this wedding season, here are the bags to get instead!
Bags To Get This Wedding Season, That Aren't Potlis
Y2K Shoulder Bag

If you are a Gen Z girl, chances are that you love your Y2K bags. With this super chic bag from Needledust, you won't have to choose between your Y2K shoulder bags and also being wedding-guest appropriate!
Wristlet

A wristlet is the perfect bag to swap your potli bag with, this wedding season. Wristlet bags are hands-free, super-chic, and not to forget, huge right now. We're loving this moon-shaped wristlet from Papa Don't Preach by Shubhika!

Top-handle bag

A boho-chic hobo bag? Yes please! This emerald green crescent bag with gota embroidery will add a pop of colour to your look.
Bucket bag
But it here
This super cute bucket bag from The Leather Garden has beautiful embroidery of a potli bag, with the sturdiness of a leather bucket bag. It's like having the best of both worlds!
Minaudière
Buy it here
One can't talk about ceremonial bags and leave minaudières out of discussion. While a cute, small minaudière might not be able to fit anything more than your lipstick (that too if you're lucky), their chic quotient is undeniable. The perfect way to amp up any outfit whether it's a chic sari, or an OTT lehenga, is a statement minaudière. Our pick is this one from Doux Amour, which also lets you go hands-free and dance the night away.
Pouch bags
