Here in Dubai, we are lucky enough to have access to luxury fashion at the tip of our fingers, with the world’s most sought-after designers fighting for space in the city’s malls. But with such coveted handbags set to take off in popularity this season, there is no guarantee these styles won’t be a sell-out. But fear not, we have whittled down five of our favourites below so you can lay your hands on them before they are gone…
Simone Rocha Perspex Pearl Acrylic top handle bag, $735
Based on Moda Operandi’s site – which allows customers to pre-order items straight from the runway – this bag was a top seller before it was even released. The unique pearl design was the best-selling handbag for SS20. There are no stores in the UAE, so you’re going to have to be quick with technology to get your hands on this beauty. It is next available for pre-order at the end of April. Get your laptops at the ready…

Bottega Veneta Jodie, $1,720.
One of the biggest brands for bag trends in 2019, and we are confident 2020 will be no different. With hobo style shoulder bags set to be a big trend, their aptly named ‘le croissant’ design has already turned heads, but we really love this style – ‘Jodie’. It boasts their trademark woven leather and a knotted strap.

Chanel 19 Flap Bag in Denim, $4,200.
This collection may have been named after 2019 (released at the end of last year) but it is already set to be a big trend in 2020. The signature quilt design is instantly recognisable, but the selection of non-leather designs adds a fresh take on the much-loved classic. We personally love the denim version, perfect accompaniment to any Spring/Summer outfit.
