Why Are We (And The World) Crushing On Crescent Bags?
How did this iconic bag shape sneak up on us and become such an iconic accessory? Read on to know more…
When it comes to trends, some are fleeting but some stick around for a while. For us, it’s been the crescent bag this season. The understated, yet chic, bag has been slowly taking over the fashion and accessory landscape for the past two years. But the love for the bag shape began snowballing when, earlier this year, Uniqlo’s crescent bag took over the internet and became known as the ‘Millennial Birkin’ (much to Gen Z’s dismay).

How Did The Crescent Bag Became The 'IT' Accessory Of The Season
In December, news of Uniqlo suing Shein for copying the nylon half-moon-shaped bag came up on our feed. Though this would be a natural course of action for any brand that finds its designs being copied, perhaps the folks over at Uniqlo were also well aware that their Round Mini Shoulder Bag was on its way to being iconic. As Uniqlo’s Round Mini Shoulder Bag went viral, luxury fashion houses such as Chloe,Alaïa, Cuyana, Prada, Khaite, Staud, Bottega Veneta, Polène’s and Gucci also gave us stunning crescent (also known as croissant-shaped) bags to invest in for the fall.

While you can opt for a smaller, crossbody or shoulder bag, the Hobo bag silhouette is also a great alternative – a roomier option for those who like to carry their whole world around with them. Just take a cue from celebrities such as Kendall Jenner, Shanaya Kapoor and Simone Ashley.
