If you thought you already knew how to carry a handbag, prepare to be enlightened. Vogue has recently come up with four new ways to tote your purse, inspired by some of the world’s most fashionable stars.
Firstly we’ve got The Scramble, the messy style favored by Kate Moss. Apparently Kate “grips an evening clutch, chains wrapped around like a messy boatman’s knot.”
If that’s a little too haphazard for you, perhaps you’re a Cuddler like Agyness Deyn. You guessed it: Aggie cuddles her bag like it’s a teddy bear. Well, a good leather purse can be awfully soft.
Then there’s The Twiddle. This easy style, popularized by Keira Knightley, sees you twirl your handbag like a schoolgirl.
And finally there’s The Dangle. This is what Chloe Sevigny does, holding her “oversized silk Louis Vuitton envelope casually scrunched in one hand, in the manner one would hold a McDonald’s takeaway.” The Big Love actress might be a style innovator, but I’m still not sure this is going to catch on.
Honestly, all these new handbag holding techniques seem a little juvenile! They might work for the stars, but I think I’ll stick to the tried and true ways to show off my purse!
