Big bags are back in a big way. These larger-than-life handbags blend great style with practicality with ease, offering ample space for everything you need.
We have the 'frazzled English woman' trend and a sense of nostalgia for the early 2000s to thank for the oversized bag trend. It also happens to marry functionality with a pared-back luxury aesthetic.
The Best Oversized Designer Bags
If you are in the market for an oversized designer bag, then the likelihood is that you want a bag you can use, if not on the daily, then regularly.
You can always opt for a classic bag in its largest size such as the Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM. This is a perfect option for taking to the office as it will likely fit your laptop (depending on the model) and much more.
If it is an everyday large bag that you are looking for, then make sure it is made from a sturdy material. Fabrics such as canvas and denim are great for oversized bags, or of course, leather. Just be aware of the different types of leather and which ones wear better than others.
Clue: Softer leathers such as lambskin are not as durable unless looked after properly.
Here are our top picks for designer oversized handbags you can find on myGemma:
1. Chanel Large Tweed Shopping Tote
2. Christian Dior White Gold Oblique Embroidery Large Book Tote
3. Gucci Large Diana Tote
4. Louis Vuitton Giant Monogram Reverse Onthego Tote GM
5. Gucci 1955 Horsebit Top Messenger
6. Christian Dior Large Lady Dior
Oversized Birkin Bags
There are two camps when it comes to Birkin bag owners. You either store your Birkin in its original box and keep the bag in pristine condition—the best option if you are ever considering selling, or, you like it looking worn, slouchy, and worn-in à la Olsen twins.
In this case, you might want to consider a pre-owned Birkin 35 or Birkin 40 that has some signs of wear. You can get a better price for it and don't need to worry too much about the condition.
