These well-known fashion houses have continued to release new variations of these famous shapes, however youll also discover that other designers and more inexpensive high street favourites have actually also riffed on the visual to develop their own variations, too.Whether youre after the specific vintage product or a modern-day take on the throwback look, these are the 5 purse designs Ive seen jump out of the 90s and straight onto the arms of 2024s fashionable set.5 90s Handbag Trends Making a Comeback In 2024:1.

2. BarrelStyle Notes: On the more profane side of the 90s style spectrum is the barrel bag. These round bags initially began appearing in the late 90s, and then became an essential product in the Y2K age. For a truly 90s appearance, go with a logomania design like Camilles Louis Vuitton-emblazoned silhouette. For a more contemporary, minimalist take, there are a lot of streamlined black designs to try out.Shop the Look:
I enjoy the mix texture, especially for the summer season months.
CrescentStyle notes: As the name recommends, the defining function of this style is its curved shape that creates a half-moon silhouette. Originally found in the 60s, it wasnt up until the late 90s that crescent bags really started to end up being a go-to for the style crowd, mostly due to Yves Saint Laurent launching their renowned Mombasa Bag.
