You’ve probably noticed it too — those indie bags cropping up on the arms of those with impeccable taste, but without a recognisable logo in sight. There's a new trend happening in the accessories world, and it’s not driven by hype or heritage, but something more instinctive. Call it the indie bag boom.
They’re from names you might not have heard before, but their appeal lies exactly in that. Whether sculptural, minimalist, or delicately vintage-inspired, these independent labels are offering something a little more cult, a little more underground. The kind of bag you’d spot in a gallery foyer, or slung over the shoulder of someone next to you at a wine bar. These brands are boutique, unique and a little bit niche — and they’re made to last, to be worn and re-worn, gaining character with every scuff and softening seam. They're small-batch, often handmade, and always a conversation starter.
