Bag Showdown: Slouch VS Sling

Our diligent pursuit of the perfect bag has us going two ways this season: the oversized, slouchy number and the small sling are both hot trends. So the question on every fashionista's lips is: should I go big, or should I go small? Let the bag showdown begin!

No other wardrobe staple has the power to make an outfit pop or add personality like the perfect new bag. But the two major trends for handbags are taking us in two very different directions this season: oversized and super slouchy versus small, adorable slings. To help you find your perfect new bag, we’ve compiled a handy guide!

Super size me!

Big bags: just talking about them is like music to our ears! What is it about the over-size carryall that makes fashionistas weak at the knees? We don’t know, and don’t really care, as long as we’ve got a big slouchy number to stash all of our “essentials” in style, we’re totes happy!

Perfect for: textbooks, shopping days, beach bums, road trips, stashing your laptop (or lapdog), that extra cardi, all of the above.

Small packages

You know what they say about good things coming in small packages? Well who are we to argue? Keep the larger than life carry-all on the back shelf, ‘cause there’s a new bag in town. With quilting, chain detailing and studs galore, the small but perfectly-formed sling is hitting the wish list as our new favourite thing!

Perfect for: fancy dinners, nighttime adventures, festivals, dates, parties, playing wii.

So what’s your vote for bag du jour? Does the case for big is beautiful win you over? Or are you seduced by a sling? Or maybe one of each *ahem*?
