Has Carrie Bradshaw ditched her 'It' bag? From her latest outfit on the set of And Just Like That, it looks like she's shelved the Baguette, of which she has several, for another cult accessory from Fendi: the phone case. That's right, the woman who didn't know how to use a smartphone has finally embraced wearable tech. (Could Gen Z's favourite, the phone wristlet, be next?)
Slung around her body was one of the brand's chain-strap mini bags, with an additional braided handle throw in for good measure, that could just about squeeze your iPhone, credit card and, erm, not much else for the ultimate in streamlined commuting (or 'sidewalk' chatting, as seen here).
With the dawn of hybrid working, you're probably carrying your laptop everywhere and anywhere. It pays, therefore to keep the contents of your handbag as minimal as possible. In fact, if you can edit them down to the aforementioned phone, you can be as hands-free and fancy free as is humanly possible (well, almost, there's still the laptop bag). The even better news is that there are some truly stylish options when it comes to phone bags and elevated phone cases.
Tod's leather case has got to be one of the chicest we've seen (so chic that you won't want to take it off once you get to the office). Bimba y Lola's Black Phone Minibag has a bit more edge and would look brilliant slung over a puffer jacket and baggy jeans. Then, there's always Christopher Kane's joy-inducing slogan case, a steal at just £35.
