The "Dated" Bag Trend We Abandoned in the '90s Has Recently Reappeared at Miu Miu and on Jennifer Lawrence.
We are currently in an era where the bag trends of the '90s significantly influence our styles today, and personally, I have no objections to that. The bags from that decade were excellent—simple and stylishly adaptable. However, not all '90s bag trends have resurfaced in the 2020s (at least not yet). While shoulder bags have maintained their popularity for quite some time, Jennifer Lawrence has subtly suggested that a new trend might be emerging. I'm talking about mini backpacks, reminiscent of those from the Clueless era. Recently spotted in New York City, Lawrence was seen using a tiger-print vintage Fendi mini backpack, which certainly caught my attention. I recall having several mini backpacks in high school and a Mansur Gavriel one during the 2010s, but they hadn’t crossed my mind much until now. Her choice brought to my attention that Miu Miu had some mini backpacks among their new arrivals, signaling a potential trend revival (thanks to Miu Miu). It’s also important to note that Chanel, Prada, and Saint Laurent have never ceased production of them.
One of the key appeals of mini backpacks for me is the hands-free convenience. Though crossbody bags and fanny packs also fall into this category, it seems like the time has come for a new hands-free alternative. Perhaps mini backpacks could be the answer. If you share my sentiment or are simply intrigued, take a look at Lawrence's bag (which she styled with a slip dress, ballet flats, and a sweater draped over her shoulders), and check out other designer mini backpacks (including the new Miu Miu ones), since her stylish Fendi bag is vintage.
