"Vogue aired a matter of public import last week, posing the question on all our lips: Can Sarah Jessica Parker make the wide-open bag trend happen? Pictures of the Fendi bag in question showed it shamelessly flaunting its purple sequinned lining for all the world to see. Apparently, it's deliberate (the bag went down the catwalk like that, keep up) and part of a wider trend for gaping leather goods: We saw similar styles at Loewe, Chanel and Louis Vuitton."
"Vogue says it's chic and insouciant, while conceding it's also polarising. But if anyone can make an unlikely trend happen, it's SJP. She or at least her Carrie Bradshaw alter ego has already popularised name necklaces, vast corsages, even vaster duvet coats and satin Maison Margiela Tabi Monster bow pumps (Vogue again) for WFH I'm wearing mine now, obvs. The JW Anderson pigeon handbag she carried on And Just Like That sold out."
"I've inventoried my handbag here before, but I just glanced into its sordid depths and spotted such delights as a single foam earplug, four wooden forks, interdental brushes, nasal spray, plasters and an open sachet of Savoury Fibre Boost Seed Mix (I stand by this it is invaluable both for human hunger pangs and attracting any discerning birds I might meet)."
A Fendi bag was shown with a deliberately exposed purple sequinned lining as part of a wider gaping leather-goods trend seen at Loewe, Chanel and Louis Vuitton. The look reads chic and insouciant to some, but polarising to others. Sarah Jessica Parker, through her Carrie Bradshaw persona, has a track record of making unlikely accessories mainstream, from name necklaces to oversized duvet coats and Margiela Tabi Monster bow pumps; a JW Anderson pigeon bag she carried sold out. Practical objections include everyday handbag contents—foam earplugs, wooden forks, interdental brushes, nasal spray, plasters and open snack sachets—and social awkwardness when bags are visibly open.
