The Spring/Summer 2024 showcased the prominence of the soft underarm bag, a substantial departure from the miniature bag craze that has been sweeping the fashion scene.

Noteworthy depictions of the soft underarm bag were noted at Miu Miu, Rokh, and Phillip Lim.

Heralded by brands like Hermès, Chloé, Valentino, Bottega Veneta, and Dion Lee, the hobo bag’s versatility is showcased through different styling choices like carrying it by hand or on the shoulder.

The brooch comes in diverse forms, whether XXL, floral, animal-inspired, or abstract.
Socks:
Socks, one of the niche yet compelling trends for the Spring/Summer 2024 fashion shows, notably featured at Zimmermann, Vaillant, and Givenchy.
