The Latest Statement Bags Have Something To Say

- 2015 Vanni Bassetti1/13
Celebs and street styles stars alike are literally making statements with their handbags these days — and we’re not talking about loud prints or lethal looking hardware. We mean actual written-out cheeky statements, proclamations of love or support (Clare V’s “Suffragette” girl power bag, for instance) or Urban Dictionary-sanctioned terms.
Statement bags don’t just express what you’re feeling without saying a word; they actually also serve as one of the most versatile accessories in your wardrobe. The impactful bag gives a casual sweater and jeans outfit an extra punch and also seamlessly meshes with the most embellished dressy-dress you have in your closet without being distracting.
So take a cue from all the celebs toting their posh, but sassy Edie Parker clutches for the red carpet and playfully colorful Les Petit Joueurs top-handle bags for paparazzi-stalked errand runs and check out these 12 options to make a statement the next time you step out. (And ones that won’t make too much of a dent in your bank account statement, either.)
