Four 1920s Bag Trends For The Modern Bride

The 1920s were an iconic decade for fashion. The flappers, who were the party-girls and fashionistas of the time, pioneered many styles that would stay popular - short dresses, bobbed hair, embellished hairpins, and of course extravagant bags. A century later, the 2020s are shaping up to be just as 'roaring' in terms of fashion. In fact, it seems that many elements of 1920s style are back to stay. At AiSPi we have selected the four most unique and glamorous so you can get in on the trend.

1. Fringes

There is no doubt that fringes are the single most iconic element of 1920s style. They were everywhere, from headwear to dresses to purses - and now they are back with a vengeance. Italian accessory brand Rosantica was, as usual, ahead of the curve with their Follie collection, where they added rhinestones to the fringes for extra sparkle. One thing is for sure, these bags will get you noticed the moment you walk through the door.

2. Art deco

The 1920s were a decade of experimentation, not only in fashion but also in architecture and design. The most iconic style to come out of the decade is without a doubt art deco, which is still highly admired and valued today. Turkish designer Mlouye, which draws inspiration from many different art movements for its collections, has art deco as one of its biggest influences. Their architectural bags reinterpret the style with a modern design twist.

3. Luxury finishes

If there's one thing the 1920s loved, it's some good old-fashioned razzle-dazzle. We all remember the Great Gatsby, right? They certainly loved their decadent luxury back then. But we modern fashion lovers are just as good at the opulence game. Lebanese brand Vanina knows all about extravagance. Its pieces have mable effects and gold details, making for captivating and high-class designs, and we are absolutely in love.

4. Pearls

Pearls are certainly timeless, but 1920s fashion used them in abundance. The flappers had a love for all things shiny and would not be seen leaving the house without at least one or two pearl accessories. Long time AiSPi favorite 0711 has plenty of stunning and unique pearl bucket bags, lovingly hand-sewn by craftspeople in Georgia. They go perfectly with elegant dresses or elevate a casual day outfit.
