From Chanel and Gucci to The Row and Saint Laurent, larger-than-life bags frequented many Fall/Winter 2022 runways. Some popular takes on the season’s maxi bags include 2000s messenger bag-inspired designs, slouchy silhouettes, and crescent shapes. Besides an overall trend in exaggerated proportions, the oversized carrying options reflect people’s new-found laid-back attitude and an increasing desire for practicality.
