Featuring a soft, padded look, the style of the Poofy bag isn’t exactly new to Beyond The Vines. In fact, the brand debuted this design last October with two accessories: a zip wallet and a zip pouch that fits your on-the-go essentials, such as a small tablet and a diary.

Jacquemus ‘Le Bambino’
All aboard the Bambino bus! The French brand’s video of its larger-than-life sized ‘Le Bambino’ cars has gone viral on Instagram.
The Jacquemus ‘Le Bambino’ bag is arguably one of the brand’s most popular products. This bag has been the fashion girl’s to-go accessory for a few years now but is back on our radar again after a recent video featuring giant sizes of it went viral on social media.

Made of 100% leather, the bag sports a structured rectangle shape, adjustable crossbody strap and the ‘Jacquemus’ logo in gold. Priced from USD665/~SGD884, this is a fun fashion splurge if you wish to venture outside of your usual luxury houses and designer labels. Find it here.
Marhen J ‘Nettie’

For K-fashion fans, there’s also the ‘Nettie’, AKA Marhen.J’s take on this bag trend. Similar to the Beyond The Vines ‘Dumpling’ bag, this purse is also waterproof and primarily made of lightweight nylon. What distinguishes this purse from other brands’ offering is its chain strap. You can find this in three colour ways via Sift & Pick at SGD386.32 each.
Baggu Mini Nylon Shoulder Bag

For more wallet-friendly options, there’s always good ol’ Baggu. The brand has made a comeback these two years with its reusable, foldable shopping totes and is changing the game with its bags, pouches and accessories too.
One of the standouts from the brand is the Mini Nylon Shoulder Bag, which comes in five colour ways. The bag is priced at USD44/~SGD58 each and has an adjustable quilted strap and interior zip pocket. Compared to Beyond The Vines and Marhen.J, Baggu’s is made of recycled heavyweight nylon so this should have a little more structure and hold to it.
So, which arm candy would you choose to sweeten your ‘fits?
