2018 Handbag Trends - Bracelet Bags

Every few seasons, we have a handbag that creates the cult following and starts a trend that every other designer/retailer follows. Bracelet bag (or metallic circle handbag) is one such trend. French powerhouse fashion brand Chloé introduced it in 2017 and this trend is going strong in 2018 as well. Meghan Markle wore the Chloé Pixie bag at widely watched Christmas service with the Queen!

Here are some of my favorite bracelet bags with hardware handles!

BTW, my husband wondered last night (when I was stalking twitter hashtags for shoppable links) "Why are you so interested in buying a 'fake' bag?" My answer was nothing but a spaced out stare. But in case you agree with him and want the 'real' Phillip Lim bag, power to you! In case you want to save that $895 for your retirement, I've got just the deal for you! Just Fab carries an almost twin to Pashli for under $40! Personally, I'd take the Phillip Lim for Target over the replica.
