Well, it’s fair to say we have all become slightly obsessed with 90’s nostalgia - especially 90’s fashion! The baggy jeans, the claw clips, the bucket hats and let us not forget all the platform shoes we have been buying. But there is no argument when it comes to which one is the cutest that completes every single outfit in our wardrobe… the 90’s style shoulder bag. Why do we love 90’s fashion so much? Well, it was the first completely informal era for fashion. The 60s, ’70s and 80’s trends were tailored and fitted with shoulder pads and trousers. The 90s was THE breakaway era for fashion freedom. The influence from hip hop MTV music videos and films such as ‘clueless’ inspired a new era of cute but with attitude. The denim jackets, doc martens and grunge look, inspired by bands such as Nirvana and Oasis changed our complete attitude to everyday casual.
All sounds very familiar doesn’t it well that’s because all of those trends are now comfortably sitting in your wardrobe and we are all for it. There is no argument that the 90's style shoulder bag is a necessity for every occasion; hitting the city or planning a day out, these bags are the finishing touch! Keeping it cool casual and ultra-feminine.
