Building a roster of designer bags usually begins with investing in the classics, a.k.a pieces rendered in timeless neutral hues. If you're more of an adventurous dresser, however, it's worth branching out into some statement-making styles. On your next shopping expedition, keep an eye out for shining, shimmering, and splendid metallic totes. Trust us, they're all the rage right now!
You don't need an invite to Studio 54 in order to tote a chrome piece. One can attribute their spike in popularity to Beyonce's Renaissance World Tour, which had attendees looking like walking disco balls themselves. Of course, there's also the general interest in futurism, and how our sartorial choices can reflect (pun intended) such sensibilities.
For the best quality, hunt for bags that are done in embossed leather or sturdy coated textiles. When you think about it, their silver hue can be counted as a neutral, which makes them an accessory you can match with a bevy of OOTDs.
Ahead, check out the quintessential list of metallic totes that you need to cop, stat!
